My Crazy Plant Lady

It's not easy being a single, gorgeous, 25 year old girl working in an office full of crazies, which is why girls should always have a fake boyfriend! I learned this valuable lesson when my company's plant lady asked me if I was single last summer. Since I WAS in fact single, I said I was, and then the worst thing ever happened: She asked me if I wanted to be set up with her son. Being set up by your plant lady is not like being set up by one of your gal pals, it's much much worse. CPL (crazy plant lady) asked me if I would like to come to her house for wine and appetizers, and meet her 21 year old son. As soon as she was serious about setting us up, I knew I had to get a fake bf ASAP. The next time I saw CPL, she asked me when would be a good time for me to come over to her house and meet her son, I very quickly said I had just started dating someone. The look in my plant lady's face was priceless, it looked as though I had just told her I set fire to all her precious plants (which she talks to daily). Ever since I told CPL I'm a taken woman, she asks me when I'm going to dump him and meet her son.

Lesson I've learned from this experience:  Do not tell crazy people you're single, and assume everyone is crazy, or else you could be put in endless awkward conversations! I think eventually I'm going to have to tell her me and my fake boyfriend are married so she stops pestering me to break up with him!
