A/n: This is true crack based on a conversation in my science class. My lovely Mexican friend came to Newfoundland for high school. It was some sort of exchange-learn-English thing. A good handful of Mexicans and a couple Koreans came to the province to improve their English. (Lots of Newfoundlanders go to Korea to teach English as well.)

Dog

The leaders of Mexico, Canada and the United States were attending a very important conference. Meanwhile, the personifications of those nations were also having a conference of their own. Maria and Alfred were discussing something unimportant and, judging from the annoyed look on Maria's face, the conversation was either about cheeseburgers or Alfred being a hero. Matthew was sat in a corner with his polar bear, Kumajiro, and was being invisible again.

Suddenly, the conversation changed and Alfred asked, "Have you ever eaten dog before?"

Maria just looked at Alfred for a minute. That question had been so random. Then she said, point blank and dead serious, "Yes."

Matthew looked over at the woman. He couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or lying.

"Was it a cocker spaniel?" Alfred asked.

"How should I know?" Maria said. "It was dead and looked like meat!"

"Why a cocker spaniel?" Matthew asked. As usual, he was ignored.

They never did find out if Maria was telling the truth or not.

End

A/n: Andrea came to my school when I was in grade 10. So, early in the year, people wanted to get to know her. We're pretty white in Newfoundland, after all. There's more ethnic groups in the main part of St. John's but my school was all white kids and there was a Mexican (Andrea) and Korean attending our school so we asked lots of questions. Then, one day in science class, someone asked Andrea if she had ever eaten dog meat before. I don't remember how it even got brought up. But she said yes… I don't know if she was serious though. And this one girl asked if it was cocker spaniel. Seriously. Crack exists in real life.
