“I’m sorry. Could you repeat that?”

“I said that you are getting married. And you’ll meet him tomorrow.”

           “That’s funny. I heard you saying something about a marriage that involves me and another guy.”

               “That’s because I said that. Now Kris, I know that you tend to be rather slow at some points, but what I said is crystal clear. Please don’t make me repeat a third time.”

             “Yah, air head. Stop daydreaming and finish already. What are you? A maiden?”

            “Yes mom. Because that was my dream as a child. To be a maiden when I grow up.”

            “Hmm.. I think Tao will be more fit as the maiden because he is cute… But, if you insist, I guess you can be the girl in the relationship.”

            “Mother!”

            “Ok, ok. Geez. I can’t even make a joke with a prissy son like you.”

            “Very funny mom.”

            “I wonder where you got your sense of humor from... Definitely not from me. And your father is funny too so not from him…”

            “Maybe it was from grandpa. Beside the stupid promises he would make stupid jokes.” *smack* “Stop it with the hitting. I’m serious.”
