Truffle

Yesterday, I forgot it was April Fools’ Day. They got me good at work. A coworker, Alexus, offered me a truffle. She said they were chocolate covered chocolate cake. I’m like, “Yum! A cake pop!” as I grab the last dark chocolate “truffle” off the plate and go to take a bite, anticipating nice soft, cakey goodness inside. “Just pop it in your mouth,” says Alexus. I think, no, I want to enjoy this! I take a bite. CRUNCH! What the hell!! I immediately stop eating. What the …! This isn’t a cake pop! I know my face was screwed up in disgust. Alexus, Chris (another co-worker), and my boss are laughing. Alexus offered me the trash can and I throw the rest of the “truffle” away and wonder what to do with whatever was in my mouth. I hate spitting, especially in public. I mumble to them, “What is this?” It was a chocolate covered Brussel sprout. Yikes! At least it wasn’t a pickle or hot pepper like I was thinking. So I finished eating what was in my mouth rather than spit it out, partially to show off. You can’t get me! Ha ha! Even though they did. But actually, that chocolate covered Brussel sprout wasn’t half bad.
