we had no idea

when i was a little kid, i voluntarily allowed my older sister to interview me about how much i hated girls and how they were gross.  at one point she had asked if i was ever going to get married, and, having always had been a baby enthusiast, i told her that i would only get married so that i could have kids.  at the time i didn't completely know all the implications of what i had just said.  looking back.. i find it hilarious.

it is an uncle's duty to impede his nephew's/niece's learning by joking around with them and teaching them false or otherwise silly/useless things.  my older brother taught our nephew to say "drop a duke."  i taught him the nerdy internet version of the word "own," also known as "pwn."  my nephew would often talk about dropping dukes, and one day, at the end of one of his little kid monologues, he ended by saying, "and then, we pwned ourselves!"

he had no idea what he was saying.  and it was hilarious.

at the beginning of the semester, a bunch of my roommate's crap was put in the trunk of my car.  for some reason it got everything stuck and the trunk could not open.  one day i was talking with my dear mother, and she had asked about how the car was running, and i told her about how it was good except for that the trunk didn't open.  she didn't know the situation, and so after explaining it to her, she said, "well you should probably get that taken care of.  you don't want all that junk in your trunk."


she had no idea what she was saying.  and it was hilarious.
