Internet Dating

Kim couldn't believe her luck meeting someone as fabulous as David over the internet. After talking online for weeks, sending each other emails and IMs, they had finally met in person and really hit it off. He was good looking and wordly, full of stories of adventures he'd been on all around the world. It was exciting for a small-town girl like Kim to hear such tales.

"It's so nice to finally get to talk to you face to face," Kim beamed as she took David's hand. She melted at the sight of his chiseled face in the candlelight. She was too nervous to eat the dinner she had prepared for them and obviously so was David. He hadn't touched his plate. "You know, men are usually scared off by the fact that I have a baby." She looked over at her son in his high chair. He looked back at her, cooing happily.

"Why would someone be scared off by that adorable baby?" David asked.

Kim sighed as she watched David smile at her little boy, who grinned back at him to reveal his two little teeth. "I think he may be the ONE," she thought to herself. "I wonder what he's thinking right now..."

"That baby really is adorable," David thought. "His little legs are so plump and juicy. You know, I really don't understand why this country frowns down upon cannibalism so much..."

What's with this internet dating business? I know that I always better decisions on a girl's character and judgment while sitting in smoke-filled bars, lol. I like how u stir it.

That's really funny. The ending is so unexpected, but it makes perfect sense. One thing... I think the line "frowns down upon" is repetitive. "looks down on" or "frowns upon" would probably suffice. Good work.
