Advent Drabble 18 - Snacks

[earlgreytea68]

For anonymous

Patrick buys jellied eels at the store.

“You didn’t seriously like those things,” Pete insists. “Put those back.”

“What? They weren’t that bad.”

“They were disgusting. It’s just that you don’t have a sensitive mouth. Like me.”

“I got you some cream cheese and Cheetos, too. I’m not going to make you eat the jellied eels.”

“But here’s the most important question,” says Pete. “Are you going to make me eat some spotted dick?”

“That depends on two things,” Patrick replies thoughtfully. “Can your sensitive mouth handle it?”

“Usually,” Pete answers promptly.

“And is it actually spotted?”

“Do freckles count?”
