Oooo...I was just listening to my mp3 player, so right now all I want to do is get up and dance. And sing. And dance. And boogie. mrgreen
Anyway, I must stay on topic to the title of this journal entry. I know, my journal entries aren't really about my actual life, but what I find interesting in life. Okay, yeah, some of it is about my life, but most will be about the interests in life.
Anyhoo, so my dad's college classmates I mentioned a couple of journal entries ago left the next day (which was, I think, Thursday?), so that was cool. My dad said that he didn't really like them, and that they were all stupid and bad-mannered which made me think, well then, why invite them in the first place??? But I know, its Asian courtesy. You must always be polite. It seems that the only thing more important in a Asian's mind frame than manners is grades, but I won't get into that right now. xp
Anyway, so they left, thank god, but not before making my mom make this whole fancy dinner for them and everything (one that I didn't even get to enjoy that much because, remember, I was sick). When they left, they left a little gift behind for us that they brought here from China (another Asian thing, you can't come empty handed and blah blah blah). It came in a really pretty dark red box with the Chinese dragon print on it (I hope you know what I'm talking about, because its hard to explain). Anyway, I asked my mom what that box was on the table (because at the time I didn't know what it was). Well we opened it and everything and the thing inside was this old pipe that ancient Chinese people used to smoke through (of course, it was only for decoration, not for real smoking!). I didn't really like what was inside the box; I liked the box itself. So we took all the styrofoam out of it and my mom said I got to keep it.
Then I thought up something absolutely random (fitting for me, no?) and funny. I asked my mom, "Wouldn't it be funny if this burglar came in the middle of the night and stole this box, but it had nothing but a fork or something in it?" She started laughing right away (she is easy to make laugh). I went on with my joke. "I'd be all the next morning, 'Oh no! They took my precious plastic-ware forks!'" She laughed harder.
But then more I thought about it, the more ideas I got until I finally settled on this one: what I should do is get a lot of Monolopy money and write stuff on the back of them. The stuff on the back would say stuff like:
"April Fools!"
"What kind of burglar are you? You stole a bunch of PAPER!"
"YOU COWARD! Stand up and fight! Next time in broad daylight, see if you can steal something from me."
"YOU LOSER!!!"
"Take this to the pawn shop and see how much you get for it."
"The box was pretty, no?"
"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!"
"You are really slipping in this profession. Maybe you should get a new occupation, you know, one that actually served the society for the better."
"I'm getting a kick out of this. Can you tell?"
"I would pay money to see your face right now."
"Are you okay? You look like you are a wilting rose. An ugly wilting rose."
"My friends say, 'You suck!'"
"You better not show your face to your burglar buddies for a while, unless you want them to know what a complete idiot you are."
"You are the saddest burglar that has ever tried to steal something from me."
"You're fired."
biggrin mrgreen biggrin mrgreen biggrin mrgreen I would love to hear anyone's opinion about this, even if you think this is completely bogus. I know it almost could never happen, but just thinking about it is the thought that counts, right? And if you have any other ideas for little witty remarks to get your thoughts across to the burglar, by all means say it or tell me. If I do do this, I'm going to have all my friends write a little something to put in the box, you know, to get their once-in-a-lifetime chance to communicate with a really, really bad burglar.
