"Well, That Would Look Weird"

Ryan just made me laugh so incredibly hard that I decided I would have to blog about the incident. As I was in lying in bed and quickly checking my emails before going to sleep I realized I had an email from a friend that I am having dinner with tomorrow. She sent me the name of a restaurant where she suggested we dine. I mentioned this to Ryan, because I had never heard of said restaurant and he wanted me to look it up. I then started reading him the menu. He thought it sounded good until I told him that we might not be able to get any of the entrees, as they all have meat as the main course and would not fit with out rule. He then exclaimed in a panic, "Oh no! What are we going to eat then?" "Ryan, the entrees have all the meat dishes, we can always get a salad or something." He then replied, "Well, that would look weird!" (this is the comment that made me laugh uncontrollably. Maybe it was the tone of his voice, and the undertone of sheer panic or maybe it was picturing my carnivorous boyfriend ordering a salad. Either way, I was in a state of hysterical disbelief). "What?!?!! Why would getting a salad look weird? Who cares? This is what vegetarians have to do all of the time," I responded. "But Zoe, we are not vegetarians, so it would look weird." Ryan continued to be insistent on this point. I have no idea what he will do tomorrow but I guess I am going to look weird because I already have my salad picked out.
