A funny story told by a funny girl
I forgot to post this funny conversation with Alexa:
____________________
...and so then joy invited them into our pretty living roomwhere everyone lied about moving and they were confused about us moving, because they didn't know and then joy clarified that we weren't moving, but moving around
so they came in and sat down
joy, allen, and i entertained while mom refused to stop cooking for like 20 minutesi fed them juice and one of them picked up the chinese newspaper and pretended to read it
oh and we didn't have enough apple juice for 2 glasses, so i poured one grape and one apple
he knew the word "ren" (like man) and he kept pointing and going, "man!...man!...man!...hey, it's everywhere!"hahaand then once we finally got the lesson, when mom stopped cooking and everyone was kind of loopy because we'd already visited the cooks earlier in the afternoon
we had already had our external-family people fix, we weren't expecting more!
and mommy kept interrupting with nonrelated questions like "why do people not understand? why do they do bad things?"
i told her it was like wanting a hamburger even though you knew it was bad for you and the missionary agreed
and then allen had to hold back his southern drawal when he was reading things out loud
aaaand oh and then we got into a discussion about what "galvanize" means because joy thought it meant "to gut out"and at that thought allen and i were like-no way man!
and then mom and allen would get into discussions in chinese, excluding everybody
anyway, by the end i think they were weirded outand one of the elders asked joy to pray, and then mom goes, "yeah, you pray elder"and we laughed, but she had no idea
then they tried to leave, but mom chased them out with fortune cookies
yep, that almost covers it all
