Scene from a Cafe

[mer]

I went to nab a Nutella crepe at Rendez-Vous yesterday (because yesterday was that kind of day, and I'd failed to take my lunch properly, and, and, and).

I sat reading Austenland by Shannon Hale (which I love) and tried not to listen to the chatter around me.

Except there was one young couple I couldn't ignore.

Dude: *takes a bite of banana*
Girl: "That's MY banana!"
Dude: "I gave you a sip of MY coffee."
Girl: "Not at all the same. You have a lot more coffee than I have banana. My sip was small, your bite was big."
Dude: "But... quid pro quo."
Girl: "It's not quid pro quo!"
Dude: "Sure it is. Banana. Coffee. Quid pro quo."
Girl: "Do you even know what that means?"
Dude: "Yeah... It means..." *clearly has a grasp of the concept but can't articulate it* "It means..." *falters* "I want banana."
