I sooo totally did my good deed for the week tonight.

We got sushi for dinner. My grandmother stuck her fork into a huge chunk of wasabi and was about to pop it in her mouth, when I yelled, "NO! Don't eat that!"

My ethics actually overrode my cruel humor streak. I'm quite proud of myself and it certainly shocked my parents. Apparently, it is expected of me that I will allow the elderly to eat huge honking wads of wasabi.

1. And if it was anyone but your sweet, grey-haired granny?

Scalded tongue time! Anyway, good for you. Maybe that's what I was smelling while driving across New Jersey: old folks burning up from eating wasabi.

2. Afterwards my mom kept trying to feed her the chili peppers from the

General Tso's Chicken. Grandma had caught on by then though.

:rofl:

3. Wow! Close call!

I'm glad you resisted the urge to see her face turn bright red and grab all the glasses of water off the 3 tables closest to yours! :evilgrin: Good job! :hi:

4. Well, it was take out.

So she would have had to gone into the garage to grab a bottle of water. We only had sake and white wine on the table.

5. Well, there go my psychic abilities again...

I'm losing my edge! :hi:

6. Wow! I've heard of superhuman feats of strength before -

lifting cars off babies, battling bears barehanded, cutting off one's own arm to escape a trap, and suchlike - but what you describe surpasses all such trivial accomplishments. I am in awe.

8. My other good deed was letting my cat eat a vole.

He had already killed the thing and he sulks when I take away a dinner he worked for.

:eyes:

7. Haha...I have the flip-side story:

I love sushi and finally convinced one of my college roommates to go eat at a Japanese restaurant with me.

I, of course, ordered sushi. Being a good roommate, I offered him a piece...I even placed a small bit of wasabi on it for him.

He looked up at me and said: "Gee thanks a lot...I won't even be able to taste THAT."

Well...:evilgrin:...I globbed on a chunk the size of a Dot, you know, the jelly candy...and smiled as he wolfed it down:evilgrin:

Hate to say it but the next few minutes were some of the best in my life.

9. Good job, I'm sure

she appreciated it...I know I would have...:hi:
