Ok so I ate a great big green grasshopper...
I work, well, I DID work as a houseparent... at a group home for youths in crisis. Boys actually... Everyone knows how gross teenage boys are. They have the sickest sense of humor of any other age/sex.
So me, being female, and just over 30, and trying to relate to them? Not going to happen right? Wrong!
There I was outside monitoring the boys with my co worker while they play basketball and such, and suddenly theres this grasshopper flying around. My coworker starts freaking out yelling "kill it kill it!" I don't know what she was carrying on about... It was just a grasshopper. I'm just sitting back laughing at them . One of them starts trying to catch it and when he does another boy dares him to eat it. Disgusting, I know. Of course the boy says no, so they tease him and call him chicken. So I joke, and say "give it me, I'll eat it"
Stupid Stupid me, he called me on it. Said he KNEW I wouldn't eat it. so they all dare me to.. One even offers his play station 2 as a reward... Silly Silly boys. Stupid Stupid me.
I said " Pfffft I'm a country girl, I'll try anything once" So I picked up the grasshopper.... And I popped it in my mouth. PRETENDED to eat it. It was nasty so I turned my head and spit it out. Everyone has a laugh, even my coworker.
Next day I show up for my shift... and was asked if I'd eaten a grasshopper. I said..... " Yes I did" Well..... there I was...FIRED! For eating a grasshopper.
Well, I never knew you could get fired for what you eat... but there you have it.
