It Really IS All About Presentation
I can't believe I missed seeing Marie pass out. Damn dinners with friends for getting in the way! Wait I mean, thank you so much for dinner. Yeah that's it. Thank you. Ahem.
Yesterday morning my brother called and suggested we meet for lunch. Excellent, I love meeting people for lunch. Wanna do lunch?
When I arrived, Golden Boy was waiting for me. We sat down at an outside table, and he put a brown paper bag from Ace Hardware in front of me. And then we proceeded to have the weirdest conversation of my entire life.
Golden Boy: I know you're trying to watch what you eat, so I packed you a special healthy lunch.
GreenYogurt: You got me lunch from Ace Hardware?! (He packed me a picnic? That we're going to eat in the Financial District, seated at restaurant tables?)
GB: Oh, no that's just the bag it's in.
GY: You know I was just going to get a salad here, right? I wasn't going to eat anything unhealthy.
GB: Well, just see if you like what I packed you. If you don't like it, I'll get you food from here.
GY: Is there enough for you? What are you going to eat?
GB: Oh, I'm going to get food here. What's in the bag is all for you.
Golden Boy nodded at me encouragingly. I opened the bag, and pulled out a ziplock. Of green grapes. I pulled out the next ziplock, which had two Fig Newtons. Another ziplock had baby carrots. The last one was wrapped in tinfoil. Like a sandwich.
GY: You made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? (Isn't a salad healthier than a pb&j sandwich? This whole thing is so weird. Should I cry? This IS weird, right? I know sometimes I notice little things that other people think nothing of, but it IS weird to bring food to a restaurant, right? Right? And I have to eat this special healthy food brought from home while he gets to eat food from the restaurant?)
Golden Boy encourages me to unwrap the tinfoil. PB&J are the only sandwiches I like. But you know what I love even more? Green iPod fucking Nanos!
Who needs drugs to get high when you get birthday presents presented to you that way? I had a hard time sleeping last night, what with being so excited to have joined the iPod masses.
Seriously, it was the absolute coolest presentation of a gift I've ever had or heard of in my entire life. Thank you Golden Boy and Crazy Girl! I love it, and you.

That was pretty cute. You have a great brother.
that's the greatest thing i've ever heard.
when you got to the baby carrots, i was thinking - this is the most fucked up thing i've ever heard...let the girl order food!!!
that's so awesome - congrats on the ipod. so excited for you :)
and happy birthday! ( i recall you not liking when people say that but i can't help it)
OMG. Same as meeks, as I was thinking- get Golden Boy to a nutritionist if he thinks Fig Newtons are healthy, lol.
I wish my siblings would surprise me with wonderful gifts too. Oh. I wish I had siblings...
That is too adorable, your brother's little trick. What a great birthday treat!
Happy Belated, btw.
