Only in China

Just a brief story: 

The other night, I went for dinner and girly shopping with two local gals from school. Since I'm half Chinese, they decided to take me to a Chinese place "because I know." Through a round of appetizers, where they were complimenting me on my chopstick skills, a peanut dish came up.  Think cool peanut with a light dressing and a few extra veggies (not roasted peanuts - more like raw...maybe boiled?).  One of the girls asked if I was allergic. "Nope! No allergies. Just cats."  Cue a very surprised reaction from the gal. "Oh!! You tried before???"


It took a few rounds to figure out she thought I meant eating cats, not cat dander. 


Cue relief face on her part.
