Fifi decided to go to the Thai restaurant a mile from her house. She had vowed to eat there once when she walked by on her way home, so finally one day she stopped by for a meal. She ordered chicken curry and a snapple. The snapple looked cloudy in the sunlight and it made her think of a recent kidney problem that caused certain symptoms, which is to say cloudy urine. Fifi chuckled to herself and thought about how it would be funny to say that in polite company. In fact, she started imagining a scenario where she would go out to eat with a date and meet his parents, and then say to them, this snapple reminds me of cloudy urine from kidney problems.
Fifi hopped online and started an account on a dating site. She set the location radius to very nearby so that she could meet someone close to the Thai restaurant. That way, it would be believable when she invited his parents to eat there too. It would take time to set it all up but it would be a really funny story to tell friends some day.
A guy quickly found her profile and started a communication. Fifi said she was interested in meeting up, and they arranged a date the very next day. It was, of course, at the Thai restaurant.
To Fifi’s surprise, the guy ordered snapple. Fifi used a lot of self control to save her joke for when she could say it in front of other more proper people and embarrass this very person.
But when the waitress brought out the cold large glass of pink snapple, and one for Fifi as well, the guy said, Gosh, it’s cloudy. It reminds me of the pee from my kidney problems.
Fifi could not believe it. “you have kidney problems?”
“Yeah,” said the guy named steve. “Soon I will have to go to dialysis.”
Fifi looked at Steve and felt her life change. “Do you need someone to go to dialysis with you?” she said.
“Yeah,” said Steve. “I would love that. But you don’t have to.”
“I have kidney problems, too,” said Fifi.
Fifi and Steve knew then they were meant for each other and they faced their declining health together.
