To preface this post, I must tell you that I just finished a book called Ahab's Wife, which had a heavy theme throughout of cannibalism. So it was on my mind. I've always been grossly fascinated by cannibalism. So much so that when I was 17, my two friends Nate and Andrew rented "Ravenous" for me and we watched it in my very dark, very creepy basement. I couldn't stand up straight after watching it because it made me feel weak and dizzy. I stopped being interested in cannibalism. Now this book got me thinking about it again, which is gross.
If anyone wants to borrow "Ravenous" I totally own it now. That's kind of sick in the head, right?
ANYWAY!
Justin and I are sitting on the couch watching Tosh.O which I love dearly. Commercial break.
Me: Hey, Justin?
Justin: Yeah?
Me: Would you ever be a cannibal?
Justin: What do you mean.
Me: I mean like, if you were dying of hunger, and the only way to survive was to eat someone else, would you?
Justin: Hm.... probably.
Me: Really? I don't think I could.
Justin: Huh.
Me: I think, if put in the position, I'd rather be eaten than eat someone else.
Justin: I'd probably rather eat someone else.
SILENCE.
Justin: Well... that works out.
I'd like to point out that if something ever happens where we are foodless and I SUDDENLY go missing, it's because Justin has chopped me up and made me into Jae Jerky (see what I did that? Hilar.)

I did decide that I would absolutely eat our dog if I had to, but I haven't yet discussed if Derek will be eating me or if I'll be eating him. We'll have to schedule that talk.
That is really quite funny. Hilar. haha.
You know, I always wonder why you two ended up together. Maybe this is why.
Also I should note that while I was reading this post I laughed so hard that Chance asked why I was laughing. I wasn't sure if this was too weird of a thing to talk about with my 13 year old son, so I didn't reply.
