Lemon in ice water is one of my favorite beverages. I usually ask for it when we are out to eat. It's what I prefer when I'm even at a party if its available. I love infused water.
The drink is refreshing and thirst quenching. A couple of a lemon slices squeezed into a large 12-16 oz. glass is perfection, and I don't care if the lemons have seeds or not. If I happen to encounter a seed, I just remove it and put it onto the bread plate.
Mr. Man prefers his water plain and clear and rarely drinks any when we are out and about - So I am surprised when he reaches over for my large glass and takes a big drink out of it. That's okay. I share. We have swapped drinks and bites of food for decades.
I turn to retrieve my glass just in time to catch Mr. Man spitting seeds back into it. I'm appalled. "Why are you spitting into my lemon water sir?"!
He shrugs." I was thirsty and I didn't want to swallow seeds. I'm just putting them back where they came from."
Now I have trust issues about letting him eat from my plate and drink from my glass. Has this behavior been ongoing since we met in 1974?!! How many second hand spit outs have I ingested over the years?
I argue with him that its as gross as taking a bite of food , changing your mind about it and returning the unswallowed portion back to my plate. He scoffs at me! I think he may have called me a hysterical woman and said its not going to kill me. I'm not even sure he is remorseful....something about- 'it's no big deal and everyone does it'.
He has been warned there will be serious punitive action if this is ever repeated.
Emily Post has been consulted and I believe she is going to side with me!
This has left a Sour taste in my mouth and its not the lemon water!
