Pink Milkshake

Any other milkshake except a strawberry one I call it by the flavour, so when I want a chocolate one I call it a chocolate one, when I want a vanilla one I call it a vanilla one, but when I want a strawberry milkshake, I call it a pink one, I ask ‘can I have a pink milkshake’ and those people selling pink milkshakes to me ask if I mean a strawberry milkshake, and of course I do, but I just say yeah at them, pretty unimpressed with their translation of my milkshake request, because it didn’t matter how accurate the translation of what I asked for and what they understood it to be was, by them changing my description of a pink milkshake into a strawberry milkshake they also sold me the idea that sometimes I did things all wrong; but because I’m stubborn, I don’t change, and because I’m nice, I let them keep the change, and because I have favourites, I always drink milkshake that’s pink.
