To and Greg were in almost every way your average colllege room mates. They differed in everything and shared nthing. Which is why it was a surprise to Tom when he saw Greg shopping in the same grocery store he shopped. Tom walked over to Greg who is looking at a row of cereals. To joins him and picks out Captian Crunch.
“No”
Greg says
“Not Captian Crunch, I want this”
Greg points to a box of cereal with an old man smilling as the cover and a bunch of words which look french. It's not as animated as Tom's captain crrunch but it serves it appeal to Greg who reluctanly agrees. It's not Tom's choice of cereal. But it was Gregs turn to pick the groceries he wanted this week. It shouldn't effect me much, thinks Tom. Tom walks away from Greg grabs his cart and starts moving around the store. An hour an half later Tom walks out the store with his groceries. When Greg spots him about to leave the store. Greg's shopping cart is equaly filled as Tom's. Greg takes a glance at Tom's cart and says.
“You know I never understood your choice of food”
“My choice of food?” responds Tom
“What's wrong with my choice of food?”
“Nothing, it's just it looks so old and rotten.”
“so.....I'd take a red delicious over an old mans cereal any day”
“It's not an old man's.” cereal barks Greg
Greg snatches Tom's recipt from him and reads the list.
2 apples, 1 box of bazooka gum, 4 pairs Brady socks, 1 small box of Carvel doughnuts, 1 box of blue ribbon oatmeal. 4 Dutch quaker breads,
“That's it, That's all you brought. Don't you like variety? responds Greg. Greg gives Tom his reciet which reads
3 boxes of Le shiek cereal, 1 chicken gyro box, 1 oriental chicken wrap, 3 cases of hieneken, 5 cases of Columbian coffee and a small Indian rug.
Greg gives Tom back his list. Greg clearly doesn't like Tom's list but he doesn't fight it. He just gives Tom a friendly bow courtesy before parting with Tom. Tom pulls out a hand shake and the two leave. There dorm is only a few blocks away. Tom clearly won't change his habits thinks Greg. But the two are good room mates. So he smiles and keeps walking.
