When you are allergic to something, you avoid it like it's the plague. For instance, I'm allergic to alligator pears. I get this strange taste in my mouth and I feel like I'm going to hurl everything I've eaten in the last week and pass out at the same time. So when I'm eating out I ALWAYS make sure there is no avo in my food, no guacamole, NONE of it! Sometimes to punctuate my allergy I tell the waitress/waiter that I will own the place after I finish suing if there is any in my food. What? I say it with a smile. I'm never a bitch about it, hell I don't want my server "contaminating" my food in any fashion. I'm even good about policing for others too. I have a student that can't have red dye, I check every single edible thing he is handed and he helps me check too. Even things I don't know he has, he'll come to me and say, "Miss J, dis has wred dye in it." He's in first grade cut the baby some slack, with his cute little freckled self. lol My cousin has food allergies and I find it funny that sometimes when she's questioning the waitress/waiter about something she wants to order, I watch them grow annoyed with her. That's when I get pissed and make it clear that she has an extreme food allergy and they BETTER get it right! Big dummy Lamont! Not everyone that questions the menu is being difficult, DUH! See I just get really sick (or my throat itches and swells a lil) she could die.
People with food allergies are on top of their game, we stay away, stay away, stay away but often times there are people in our life that are like the plague but we do not stay away. Some we can't cause they're related. So there will always be some kind of family gathering where you have to be around that person or persons. But those that we aren't related to, especially the ones that might have carried the title of boy/girlfriend, significant other, lover these are the ones that we might be allergic to but can't seem to stay away from, why the hell is that?
I just got some bad news today. I need a hug, just a long tight hug, no words and the person I'm allergic to is the first person that came to mind. He is the only person to come to mind. What the hell, I'm allergic! I don't get hungry and say hmmm I want an avocado, honeydew, or cantalope. The truth of the matter is he knows me and he gets me. He calls me on my shit and I definitely ALL of his (good LAWD he's got A LOT). None of that matters though, I'm allergic. I'm allergic to him 100%. So now I need a hug because of the news I read today and because I'm allergic to my panacea. This is some bull! Dear Murphy's Law, you suck! Cause that's what this is a case of: allergies and Murphy's Law.
Wait, there is someone else. I'm not allergic but I wish I was. He's not allergic either but I wish he was. He doesn't want to be allergic but needs to be.
I think too much! First it was what I read, then it was my allergy and now it's what I need to be allergic too. I need to go to sleep, tomorrow is a new day.
