CHECK PLEASE
Today’s contributor finds an unexpected surprise in her purse
I don’t remember how or why it started, but after a few pranks, my sister and I were engaged in an all-out prank battle that lasted almost a year. it’s been going on for almost a year. I’ve got to hand it to my sister — I never knew just she’d strike.
One night I went on a date with a really sweet guy my best friend set me up with. When we got to the restaurant, we decided to start the night off with some drinks. We’re both 21 and look a little young, so the waitress asked for our IDs. I reached in to my bag, took out my wallet and opened it to find a tampon covered in ketchup, which proceeded to fly out and land on the white tablecloth.
The waitress yelled “Oh My God!” and looked at my date, whose mouth and eyes were wide open. The poor guy looked like he was about to throw up. He took a deep breath and excused himself. Meanwhile, the waitress had to get someone to come and replace the entire table setting.
After 10 minutes, my date came back. I tried to explain to him that it wasn’t really blood and that it was just a tasteless prank. He asked me to please stop talking about it, called the waitress and asked for the check. He said he was sorry, but wasn’t feeling up for dinner.
Not surprisingly, I never got a second date. But I did get back at my sister and our prank battle is officially kaput.
