A Conversation of Anna and Amber over an Evening Snack.

Anna: Hey look what I found in the fridge.
Amber: What is it?
Anna: I think some of the volunteers left it here like 2 months ago.
Amber: Yum. What IS that?
Anna: It says muesli on the package. ? It looks like oatmeal with nuts and stuff in it? And these things are....milk...with yogurt-something...?
Amber: The muesli is expired.
Anna: Smell it. Does it smell ok? I can't smell or taste anything right now. If it smells ok, taste it. Yeah this smells fine actually.
Amber: Well I'm not going to trust your analysis because you just told me you can't smell or taste anything. Yeah it smells ok.
Anna: Yeah it's fine. What about this milk stuff?
Amber: Expired.
Anna: Smell, then taste. Yeah I think it's ok.
Amber: This is really strange tasting. But it's not sour or anything, so I guess it's ok.
Anna: Yeah,  it's fine. Dumping it on the muesli.

Long pause full of munching.

Anna: Wow this is actually surprisingly enjoyable.
Amber: Yeah it's actually pretty good.

Long pause interrupted only by chewing noises.

Anna: Oh my gosh.
Amber: What!? What Anna!!? Why do you always do that, I hate it when you do that, why don't you just say it!?
Anna: I have just been eating ants.
Amber: Oh my gosh I have too. They must have been in the muesli! What are we going to do?

Short pause.  

Anna: Well.....I think I'm going to pick them out.

Silence.

Anna: What are you going to do?
Amber: I just ate half a bowl of them, I might as well just finish them off. They're dead right?
Anna: Yep. Ok well I'm still gonna try to get most of them out.

Short pause punctuated by Amber eating and Anna disposing of floating insect corpses, and then eating. 

Amber: They're not going to give me a disease are they?
Anna: No
Amber: You sure about that?
Anna: Yeah

Eating noises, short pause, then howls of laughter. 

Anna: You know that really was pretty tasty actually, considering there was ants in it.
Amber: Yeah. Pause. I better not get a disease.

P.S. Quick update: Apparently I have bronchitis, but I'm on antibiotics, so the end is in sight. Thanks for your prayers friends! =)
