Our little bro Chris finally got a job at Taco Bell. He will now have something to do with his time besides sleep. I was ecstatic, so in an attempt to celebrate, I took Chris with Nono and the kids for Bingsoo (Tawainese version of Italian ice).
1st attempt at conversation went like this:
David: "Hooray! free tacos for us!"
Chris: "No dude. They don't even give me free tacos. It's stupid."
David: "Hooray! Free hot sauce for tacos."
Silence.
2nd attempt at conversation:
Nono wants to tease Chris about his lack of a girlfriend. He picks up magazine with a hot chick on the cover.
Nono: "Oooh, looky Chris. Looky here."
Chris: "You're 80 years old looking at young women. That's really creepy."
David and Nono chuckle and say indecipherable things in Spanish that Chris won't understand.
3rd attempt at conversation:
Our server happens to be Chinese, so Nono attempts a joke.
Nono: "Este tiene cara de chino." -laughs at his own joke-
Chris stares at Nono: "Uhhh... OK."
David tries to explain background of joke.
Chris in a really, really serious tone: "It's illogical. It's not funny."
David starts laughing and can't stop.
Want more??
4th attempt at conversation:
David shows everyone how he can bend plastic ice cream spoon with his mind.
David: "Maybe life is all a computer program until you know how to bend the rules."
Aster: "Sometimes I think I'm in a 100-year TV show and everyone is watching me."
David: "Cool! Aliens are watching you on TV? Am I a robot?"
Chris: "They're not watching you on TV, dude. No, they're not. If they were then blah blah blah. The universe blah blah blah and the world blah blah blah. And I hate it when blah blah blah. You think you know every blah blah blah."
David: "Uh, Chris, he's only 12."
