Today, at Nicastro's, my favorite deli, picking up diner for myself & the children.
Me
-I will take three meatballs, please! Oh, and do you have any rice left?
The Italian lady behind the counter
-Do I what? (with a very strong Italian accent!)
Me
-Is there any rice left?
The Italian lady behind the counter
- ???Er..
Me
(Waiting for an answer to a simple question, looking at the hesitant lady putting my three meatballs in a container)
The Italian lady behind the counter
-oh, no, no....
Another lady behind the counter, budding in
-What did you say?
Me
-RICE! Do you have any rice left that I can buy and take out!
The same lady
-OH!!! RICE! Rice...She thought you said "rats"...
Me
-Oh....kay...Thank God the answer was no....
Note to self : Why would she think of rats while serving the meatballs? And why would she think I would enquire about RATS??? Things that make you go hum....

4 people had something to say:
Oh, jeez! Yuck! You're right -- good thing she said "no!" :)
Exactly - But I could sense some hesitation there - which is the worrying part ! I love this place so I will ignore this whole event even took place!!!

I wonder if you read / heard abt the rats in a Ney York City area TacoBell recently. :)
oh, yuck #0....no, I try to stay as far away as I can from any type of rodent-involving stories...I have major freaking out issues when it comes to mice/rats/or anything that looks like one...please don't creep me out!!!!
