This is too sweet. I told you about my wife’s friend who has started the trend amongst the other foreigners her to refer to my painting toy soldiers to “painting dolls”. It just goes to show that even if you are in your late twenties and thirties, you still have to fall for peer pressure. lol
Anyway; another friend of ours came to visit from a neighboring city here. We went out for dinner and we were all talking. Every time I told a story everyone would stop and listen and laugh. My wife’s friend would interject, “great story grandpa” or “are you still talking?”. Before it could leave my lips our friend got annoyed and asked, “What do you do? He has interesting stories to tell. But what do you have to offer?” My wife’s friend was silent. He didn’t say anything. He was actually quiet. Everyone was. Then my wife’s friend says, ‘Did you paint any dolls today?” Everyone starts to cackle like hens when they hear this. Our visiting friend looks baffled and I tell him I paint toy soldiers. It has been my hobby for years. Then I turned to my wife’s friend and said, “Did you do any needle point today?” Our friend laughed, ‘YOU NEEDLE POINT?!?!?!’ He realized he was being rude and covered his mouth. Someone changed to subject to end the unease. But you could tell my wife’s friend was pissed. Especially since I had this big grin on my face.
Karma is a bitch. lol
