So that happened

My younger brother and I are very close. That being said, he doesn’t have much of a filter around me. Here’s a snippet of the conversation we had at my uncle’s wedding next to the buffet before God and everyone.

lil bro: Okay so let me just get this straight.  Sexuality is kind of like making a salad, right? 

me: What?

lil bro:  Homosexual is when you only want to be with vegetables like you. Other vegetables are okay, but you only want that vegetable in your salad. Bisexual is when you’re okay with either in your salad.

me: Yeah

lil bro: Pansexual is like “hey we’re all one big vegetable party” And asexual is when you don’t want any salad. You like the salad’s personality. You want to spend time with the salad. You could eat the salad, but you don’t really feel like it. 

me: Yep, you’ve got it.

lil bro:  So, um, what does that make you?

me: Hungry.
