The Corn Conversation

This is the kind of conversation that happens between two women who both have PMS. One of which is not paying attention (that would be me). And I'm not really such a terribly mean person - it's just that I've been watching my close friend N eat nothing but vegetables for weeks on end now and counting every single calorie that goes into her mouth. She even looks up the calories in fruits.

N: what should i get
1) starbucks cafe latte (non fat)
2) corn (250 calories)

me: CORN?

N: yeah

me: A CAN OF CORN?

N: the stuff in plastic u know
unpoped corn

me: you need to eat a MEAL, okay?

N: can't in class

me: okay but that dosn't explain the way you're eatin goutside of class
vegetables - nothing but vegetables

N: i had chicken

me: okay

N: on my salad
