Because it was funny

taylweaverI was sitting at the table with two of my apartment mates. I was eating dinner, as was Apartment mate #1. Apartment mate #2 had a cup of tea and was putting Splenda in it. The following conversation is rather paraphrased:
Apt. mate #1: Did you know that Splenda can cause cancer? (and so on)
Apt. mate #1 then proceeds to lick peanut butter off the sharp knife she was using to spread it.
Apt. mate #2 and me: You're one to talk - you're licking peanut butter off a sharp knife!
Apt. mate #1: I'm not licking the sharp part! And what's the worst that could happen? I cut my tongue?
Me (knowing they have both read Twilight): Just so long as you don't go kissing any vampires...
Apt. mate #2: That is so not funny.
And then she told us that her copy of New Moon (second book in the series for those who don't know) got stolen from her classroom. (She's the owner of the books all three of us read, and teaches 8th grade English.) Apparently kids steal books these days. I am not sure whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.
