My stomach may explode while I try typing this, at least that will give me a sense of urgency and maybe this won't end up as a draft (never to be completed). I had dinner at my brother's over an hour ago and I am still completely bloated. I did not think I ate that much food. It was enchiladas and rice though so it may have been the rice. I only had 3 enchiladas. Never would I have thought three would have made me so full.
Here it is though: I finished my first plate, two enchiladas with a side of rice, and I was feeling done. However, as I was sitting there, having finished my plate and feeling satisfied, my brother's wife told me there was more. To which my retort was pretty standard, a basic statement of acknowledgement; but neither affirming nor denying that I would be having more. My brother laughed as if I had responded with a strong, possibly enthusiastic affirmation.
The wheels had already been spinning, before he laughed. Would not having a second plate send an unintended message? Would it be rude or inconsiderate? Would it not just be better to just eat more, just in case?
If I wasn't so ready for bed, I could probably sit here and complain about it for another hour. I'll feel better in the morning.
