Boy: Would you like a Whopper?

Mom: No, thanks. I’m not a fan of malt balls.

Boy: You’re not?

Mom: They taste like chocolate covered puke.

Starbucks Customer #1: They should serve beer here. It would be so much better. It would be a whole new experience!

Starbucks Customer #2: Yeah, okay hun, I want a latte.

Starbucks Customer #1: They could set up a bar over there. It would be so much fun to come to Starbucks if they served beer.

Starbucks Customer #2: Were you even listening to me?

********************************

Girl #1: How do you turn an iPod off?

Girl #2: Mine just turns off by itself.

Girl #1: I tried that yesterday, but it took like 9 hours before it shut off.

Girl #2: Hmm….yeah I guess mine did too….

Girl #1: And when I tried to turn it back on, it was all out of power so I had to recharge it.

Me: Yeah your battery died, and if you press and hold the play/pause button it turns off.

Girl #2: You can press a button to turn it off?

“Hey Helmand, who’s this?” The Evil Teacher pointed an accusing finger at me and my beautifully hip cowboy hat.

“This is Alisa, sir.”

I waved and grinned.

“Alisa, you wanna keep your hat?” The Evil Teacher thundered. He was obviously very jealous of my hat. Behind him gym students peeked out to see what the commotion was.

“Yes.” I grinned again. He was too concerned with my hat that he didn’t notice that I did not have any form of ID on.

“You better take it off!”

I removed the hat like a cowgirl should–with a slight bow.

“Uh, Mr. Keiser sir, we have to go,” Helmand broke in.

We turned down another hall and broke out in a run.

“No running in the halls!” Boomed The Evil Teacher’s voice behind us. Helmand threw back his head and laughed. I smashed my hat back on my head.

Our Family Ties

Isn’t it interesting how the London bombings got so much attention and the Egyptian bombing barely got media coverage? We are still very much attached to our comrades (ok, maybe that’s the wrong term to use considering…nevermind, and go read your history books).

Even though the bombs in Egypt killed 31 more people than the bombs in London, we were still very much more concerned with those who speak our language.

“It’s the Middle East. Aren’t they always blowing each other up?”
