I Bought You A Taquito.

by Rachael King on August 3, 2008

B and I had a stupid, drunken tiff Friday night. We were in a 7-Eleven and had been arguing about something so dumb I can’t even remember what it was. He snapped at me, so I told him I’d be waiting outside and strode out (5-year-old style).

A few minutes later he emerged, and we bickered for a block or so before apologizing for our mutual drunken idiocy, and he took my hand. As we walked home together, he said something I’ll never forget…

“I bought you a taquito.”

As he handed me the warm and delicious Mexican delicacy, I knew in my heart that this truly was love. Even though he was furious with me, AND I’d stormed out of a Kwik-E-Mart on him, he still knew that soon enough, everything would be fine, and expressed this faith in our relationship through the procurement of a spicy buffalo chicken wrap.

I’ll always buy you a taquito, B.

Heart warming and gag inducing at the same time….

gag warming? I dunno. That’s really cute though. You two make me sick/warm and fuzzy.

Caitlin: YOU are snarking perfect. Good luck at your FIRST DAY OF WORK today!!!!!!!

Zach, you want to see something gag warming, just wait for the Drunken Butterfly in person. It’s going to happen.

Sorry Zip! Don’t vom on anyone at work.

KassyK: Missed you, fluffy snuggle duck. You’re one of the few who doesn’t find my unabashed schmoopiness intolerable.

ahh if I ever fall in love again – notice the word “if” I will join you in the warm fuzzy fest.

I still can't believe it!

Zip: Believe, woman. If only you’d known me before, you would know how crazy this is…

Case in point, someone who HAS known me for years, Kbo… I can’t believe it either.
