Today’s lunch club was missing Heather because she had a “work lunch” and Mike didn’t join for the eating part because he needs to eat EXACTLY at 1:00p.m. but the excitement was still there.

Minutes:

  • Tashia and I fight for about 5 minutes because Tashia is texting one of her million cousins or aunts or something and has her head in her Blackberry
  • Mike hears us fighting so he comes in and kind of stands around listening
  • I asks Heather R., who’s passing through the kitchen if I looks like a young Jewish mother
  • Heather R. says yes, and all I need is a Black SUV, dark lipstick and a huge engagement ring
  • Tashia says all Jewish men love black girls
  • Mike and I want proof
  • Tashia says that when she’s on the train all of the men wearing Harmonicas on their heads look at her like they want to take her home and Hanukkah her to death
  • Mike looks like he’s going spit up his rold golds he had as a snack at lunch
  • Tashia sits straight faced and we realize she’s serious
  • Tashia then says that black men don’t like her and call her the “girl that got away” and white men don’t like her because she’s too strong and doesn’t cry enough and says she’s interested in Japanese men
  • Mike said he wouldn’t put peppers on his cheesteak and Tashia is offended and tells him “aint nothing wrong with my cheesteak”
  • Ali teaches Tashia about double negatives
  • Tashia retorts with the fact that “aint” is not an actual word
  • Mike says it’s in the dictionary
  • Tashia looks at Mike and asks him if his girlfriend has ever told him he’s a good kisser because he has beautiful lips
  • Mike responds quickly  “yes” and I turn BRIGHT red and say that this is not office talk
  • I tell Tashia she doesn’t put enough ketchup on her french fries
