Te Fahn: Selkie, you're fines! I promise.
Selkie: Ifs you say sos...
George: Sel, why're YOU moping?
George: I'm the one who'll be tasting snail vomit until the day I die.
Lisa: He'll be fine. Just a bad case of poor life choices and melodrama.
George: I'm sorry I didn't like your food, Te Fahn.
Te Fahn: It's okay, George.
Te Fahn: J-Just means mores for me! Sweet, gooey treats for me.
George: Duuude, I JUST got done puking!

I've missed the mildly-innappropriately-snarky secretary.
Just so you know I’m stealing that line.
“Just a case of poor life choices and melodrama.”
I mean, at least theirs is just mildly-inappropriately-snarky. The one at one of the schools I went to at their age (Air Force brat) was just plain [unspayed female dog]y. Never had a kind word to say to students, always condescending, and heaven help you if she was empirically, provably wrong and you dared not agree that the king had the most wonderful clothes ever tailored.
Thank you!!1
I kinda liked snails, but the ones I had were cooked with lots of butter and garlic. Pretty similar to stuffed mushrooms. I get the impression these were made differently.
Do I know you? Or rather; Do you know me?
… Something something cement goose and a smoke bomb, something something….
Is this just her picking up human terms? Because I’m pretty sure that Dr Bunny Ears said that they could not taste “sweet”. I can understand Amanda or Heather or Keisha talking about “sweet gooey treats”. But Te Fahn?
Correct, it’s a borrowed word, of sorts.
Sweet as in valuable? As in sweet sweet diamonds?
I’d say: sweet as in tasty/delicious – for kids that’s almost synonymous., i. e. disgustingly sweet is a paradox
Of course there had been sweet stuff I didn’t like as a kid – but not because of its sweetness.
Kids! Cant take ’em anywhere!
So not getting why trying another’s kid’s cherished treat is a poor life choice. Trying food is a great thing (excepting allergies, which is a possible case here) what would life be without Pho, Sushi, Spaetzle, Pizzelles, Asiago, Brie, Carne asada, Chorizo, Churros, Tim Horton’s, Pea Meal!!
C’mon, Pea Meal, eh? Coor’s lite, …. ok, that was a mistake.
George should read Dick Francis. I believe the book is called Comeback. The hero is a British diplomat, and his father was a British diplomat. Lived all over the world. And his father gave him some good advice.
Don’t think about what it is. Just eat it. If you scoop it up out of the bowl thinking it’s a sheep’s eye, you’re going to puke it all over the table. Just eat it.
That was George’s problem. As he was bringing it up to his mouth, he was thinking that it was a nasty disgusting slimy snail, and that’s why he barfed. If he had just eaten it, without thinking about it, would have probably worked a lot better.
