She said dark roast is too bitter and too strong and she can't stand it.

She was very firm about this, so I always bought light roast for the house.

About eight years ago, I accidentally bought a bag of dark roast.

Didn't realize it until I got home and saw the label.

I figured I'd just drink it myself and get her the right one next time, but I was lazy and I made a pot that morning anyways.

She drank it.

She said nothing, didn't notice at all, said it was good, actually.

So the next time I went to the store, I bought dark roast again, on purpose this time.

She drank it every morning for a week and never said a word, so I just kept buying it.

for eight years.

Every morning, this woman drinks dark roast coffee and tells me how good it is.

Meanwhile, if we go to a coffee shop and they ask what roast she wants, she says light because she doesn't like dark.

She has sent back coffee at restaurants for being too dark.

She has told friends she can't drink dark roast.

all while drinking it at home every single day.

Last month, she was putting groceries away and actually looked at the coffee bag for the first time in apparently eight years.

This is crazy.

She held it up and said, is this dark roast?

I said, yep.

She said, since when?
