cutlery please

we went out for some pizza the other day. i noticed i was missing my cutlery so i asked the waitress for it. i was a bit confused when she came back with crayons and a children’s colouring puzzle thing. i realized she thought i said “colouring”, so after a few more tries of “cut-le-ry”, i smartened up and just asked for a fork and knife. joe tried to explain to me that “cutlery” is a british influence thing. ok.

    That’s really funny. I think she thought you were twelve.
