Well it is pretty quiet on the forum , so I thought I would share something (this thread may end up in the barrio) Last night while watching TV with our daughter my wife asked me if there were still dinosaurs around of course my answer was "yes" , when asked where they were I antied up and told the truth , in outback Australia of course ! just wondering if anyone else has had such questions ?/
Don't worry Dave , that is fair dinkum ("aussie" = true story), and if I had not have been so tired I would have liked to taken the conversation a lot further , we were actually watching that kids animated movie "Dinosaurs" , I will try and recall a couple of other memorable questions that I have been asked over the years .(apart from ; because we have that little plastic card does that mean we never run out of money)
darling , will you still love me in 30 years? If don't stop asking stupid questions I wont love you tomorrow
Ha Ha oh yes! I guess it must be in the schools curriculum on Negros as we had the same question asked not too long ago, but before i could even muster out of a doze, my Wife was very quick, to answer our Princess (To Bloody quick for my Liking) She shouted from the Kitchen, of course, there are still Dinosaurs, you have one, watching the TV with you. Just have to love them though JP
It wasn't a wife (at least not mine) but it was a Filipina. I went into the local sorry-sorry store for a bag of sugar. The radio was blasting out the usual rap crap, so I just made silent lip movements as if I was talking. That was met with "aaaaahhhh ?" so I did it again. This created the frozen blank stare, blue screen and wait for reboot. A dim light must have twinkled in the thought process and she lowered the volume. "That's better" I said, "now we can both hear and understand each other". "You don't like music ?" said she. "As a matter of fact, I do" I replied "but not so loud in a small store". "What music you like" she asked. "I enjoy a lot of different types of music" I offered. "Tell me a type you like" she persevered. Taking a shot in the dark, I said "I like some classical music". "Say some classical music" she said. Picking a composer at random I said "Tchaikovsky". "Ahh" she said, none the wiser, "who sings that?" Conversation died. Just gimme the sugar, I'm outa here.
"How many helpers in your house in US?" Yeah, right, I don't even know of anyone that has a house helper in US. lol
After we just met my wife was upset when some actor kissed some actress in a movie. When I asked why, she replied, because he's is already together with xxx, referring to another movie. I explained it was two different movies, and two different characters. But, she insisted, the kiss was real!
When my wife asked what a certain Christmas song was about I had to explain it's called oh tannenbaum, not time bomb. Oh boy.
