Katherine is my friend from Chi-cah-go. I sat by her at my first hockey game and I think I embarrassed her because I would cringe and go "ohhhh" when players got thrown against the glass. But she embarrassed me by telling the zamboni guy she wanted to jump him, so I do believe we're even.
At the aforementioned hockey game, we bought hot chocolate. The name didn't lie...the stuff was hot. Unfortunately, our previous hot chocolate experiences led us to believe we would be okay sipping the cocoa immediately after it had been poured. We used the "stir sticks" as straws and sipped the cocoa. How foolish we were. Our reactions were basically the same, with Katherine saying, "Hey, I'm from Chi-cah-go an' I just burnt my tongue!" While I said, "Ow! I totally burnt my tongue! But I admit it! I'm not ashamed!"
Well, bad things happen. We learned from that mistake. Sure, it took us burning our tongues once more for it to really sink in, but we did learn. Unfortunately, we couldn't taste anything for a week.
Katherine is also an animal cracker addict. I used to be her supplier, but she never paid me for the crackers and that just got old. However, I do keep a stash hidden in my room. This is to placate her if she threatens to put a cap in my ass. Those crazy Chicagonians and the shenanigans they pull!
