She tells me the best stories. It may just be because I'm her sister and know her really well, but I find her stories incredibly interesting. Or maybe her stories really are incredibly interesting. A few years ago, she was dating a bona fide celebrity and would tell me stories about going to actual Hollywood parties. Some of her other stories are less glamorous, but definitely hilarious. Like this one:
My sister, as I said, works at the Costa Mesa Trader Joe's. One of the things she does is cook the free samples. One day, as she was manning the free sample booth, a woman comes up to her, and reads the sign out loud, "Meatless Buffalo Wings." She then looks squarely at my sister and says, "Buffalos are not meatless." Silence. My sister is not sure how to answer this statement. Clearly, this woman doesn't understand that Buffalo Wings are not made of buffalos. They're chicken. Except this ones aren't chicken because they're meatless. So explaining the several steps this woman took to be wrong about this particular free sample seems like a bad idea, because you aren't supposed to argue with customers, even if they're crazy. So my sister's perfect response is, "No. But their WINGS are."
