I read this as a warning to all other people like me: don’t say maybe to PTSA secretary because next thing you know you’re the President. Don’t say maybe to seem nicer, y’all.

Seriously? I took this to mean not to semi-commit to stuff you don’t want to do, like working late, volunteering, taking a pay cut, etc...lots of people hve trouble saying “no”. Or even a play on “no” to drugs.

Well, the chocolate and vanilla ones are great, the strawberry is just ok and usually just ends up being thrown out.

Maybe she’s so secretive because she’s a woman and heard of the internet?
