And This Is Why…
…you can’t have a successful lunch without Kelsey.
Laura’s office is right next to my apartment, so sometimes when she’s feeling like resting a bit she’ll order Sherpa’s to be sent to my place and eat there. Sometimes I join her, and other times she goes solo. Today I couldn’t join her, but I reminded her Becca is there so they could dine together.
Then the following frantic chat conversation happens:
Becca: crap crap crap
Becca: Laura ordered food here, and I have no cash to pay the guy.
Me: Ummm. I just told Laura to hurry. Just tell him to hold on.
Becca: I don’t think he understands what’s going on. What do I do!?
Me: Say “deng deng.” Sounds like “dung” kind of. Dung Dung. But don’t over pronounce the ‘g’. So the offspring of “dung dung” and “dun dun.”
Becca: …What does that mean?
Me: Wait a minute. It means hold on, wait a minute.
Becca: This is hilarious.
Me: Does he seem confused?
Becca: Eh, not really. He’s cool. I just keep saying “uhhhh thanks….I have no money…”
Me: Oh don’t worry about it. He’s fine. It’s China. This isn’t close to the oddest part of his day.
