Minneapolis Adventures

I brought IrishTenor to my parents' home for the first time in the three years we've been dating. I tend to feel a bit more relaxed and attuned to my off-the-wall side when I'm there, which I demonstrated at breakfast time on Saturday.

Me (constructing a banana penguin, with disturbing alacrity): "Did you know you can make a banana into a penguin?"

IrishTenor: ...

MotherCanadian: ...

Me (making my "penguin" hop and squawk, still with disturbing alacrity): "Waaack waaaack waaaack."


Later

IrishTenor: "Earlier, when you said you were going to make a banana into a penguin, I wanted to ask if you were going to put on a tuxedo."

Me: "I might get to go to Chicago again sometime!"

Arbusto: "That's cool, what for?"

Me: "I might need to be the Asian."

Arbusto: "You? You're the least Asian person I know! I'm more Asian than you!"

Me: "How are you Asian?"

Arbusto: "Well, let's see. I play Nintendo - "

Me: "Do you watch anime?"

Arbusto: "Yes, and I play World of Warcraft, so that makes me Korean."

Me: "Okay, fine, you are more Asian."

Me: "I have the National American University jingle in my head."

TestDeveloper: "Please don't sing it. I don't want to know what that is."

Me: "I was hoping you'd know what it was so you could be miserable, too."

TestDeveloper: "No, but I'll think of a different annoying song to put in your head."

Me (whistling): "It's a world of laughter, a world of tears..."

At this point in time, a small foam object came sailing over the wall separating my cube from TestDeveloper's and landed on my keyboard. I can only surmise that said small foam object was aimed at my head.
