There are some things in life you get right away, and other things you never understand. One such example of the latter is the word "Pie."
Why do people find the word pie so fucking funny? Why, when there's nothing else to say, do people think "pie" needs to be said? Seriously.
I was talking to two people the other day; a friend and his little middle-schooler sister. My friend and I were doing most of the talking, and the girl was looking a little bored. As soon as there was a brief pause, his sister spoke up.
"Oh my god! Guess what!?" she exclaimed.
I raised my eyebrow at her excitement. "What?" I replied monotonously.
"GUESS!" she repeated. She continued until we were sufficiently annoyed, and then proceeded to say, "I like pie."
My friend, not being a dumbass himself, smacked her upside the head like a good brother. But I was more than a good brother. I was a good citizen.
So I busted her lip. She sailed about ten feet then landed in the gravel, bleeding and crying. My friend and I breathed a sigh of relief in unison, then continued our conversation.
I don't know. I was going to shoot her, but people probably would have got mad at me.
~Pie.~
