Boy: “Hey Nono, look at the Xbox father gave
me!”
Grandpa:
“Don’t you have enough money to buy a dozen eggs? They’re truly cheap!”
Boy: “No,
Nono! It’s an Xbox, not an ‘Eggs box’! Do you want to play with me?”
Grandpa: "Of course! Let's get some spoons and race who will arrive at the backyard first without letting the spoon with the egg fall from our mouths!”
Boy: “Uh,
Grandpa, I’ve already said it’s an Xbox, not an eggs box. We play it with a
sensor and with the TV.”
Grandpa:
“Well, in my time TVs didn’t use to carry a spoon, but if yours can do it, it’s
ok, it can take part of the race too.”
Boy: “Noooo,
Nono, forget it, I’ll show you something in my MacBook from Apple.”
Grandpa: “How
did an apple do a book about McDonald’s?”
Boy: “It’s a
laptop from Apple, you know, Steve Jobs, Macintosh system?”
Grandpa: “Oh
boy, you really don’t know A THING about apples! Let’s go to the market, I’ll
show you what it is!”
Boy: “Nono, I
know what an apple is. I’m talking about the BRAND Apple, whose creator was
Steve Jobs!”
Grandpa: “Oh
my god, what are children learning in school today? They don’t even know what
an apple is! Have you ever heard the quote ‘an apple a day, keeps the doctor
away?’”
Boy: “Yes,
sir, mom always tells me that. That type of apple grows in trees, but my laptop
comes from an Apple factory.”
Grandpa: “Son,
I can certainly tell you people still produce apples in trees not in
factories!”
Boy:”Uh! Ok,
whatever, I’ll get my Blackberry.”
Grandpa: “Do
you have only one? As I remember, we buy thousands of them in the market.”
Boy: “It’s my
cell phone, Grandpa!”
Grandpa: “Do
you call your mobile Blackberry? What a strange name for such a thing!”
Boy: “No, it’s
the cell phone’s brand. Like, the mobile comes from a Blackberry factory.”
Grandpa: “Oh
my, you and this story again! Fruits DO NOT come from factories!”
Boy: “Uh, just
forget it Nono, I’ll talk to Sarah about our date.”
Grandpa:
“What’s wrong with it? Did you have to divide it with her? Such a small thing?
I’ll go and talk to your father, you really need more pocket money! You can’t
even buy some eggs and some dates!”
Boy: “There’s
nothing wrong with my pocket money Nono, Sarah and I, we'll go to the cinema, have a date."
Grandpa: “Wait,
you’ll go to the cinema and then to the market, to buy a date? Can you please
get me some bananas too? I’ll ask your mother to bake a pie!”
Boy:
“Whatever, don’t worry, I’ll buy some bananas. Bye Nono!”
Grandpa: “Bye!
And don’t forget your date! We’re in season now!”
I love the quality of your posts. Keep up the great work.
