Today in Learning How To People: Cheese

I was invited to board games tonight, and asked if I could bring anything. The host says “I usually have some hard cheeses out for people!”

Being a Very Neurotypical Person who is Very Good At Reading The Room, I interpreted this to mean “Please bring some cheese.”

Mmmm nope! In this case, it meant “We already have cheese, so go ahead and bring something that you, Dairy Allergy Person, can eat.” Doh!

Anyway, that’s why I usually always get clarification/specify what people are saying/asking. It’s not safe to assume! 😂 🧀
