One of Those, “Did I hear that right?” Moments
I was reading at a coffee shop when I heard a mother say this to her child, who had just come out of the restroom.
“Ian. Ian. Did you get your ass cleaned?”
What?
She repeated,
“Did you get you ass cleaned?”
Really? How weirdly crass and grossly over-mothering are you?
She turned to her husband and said,
“Yeah, he got his ice cream.”
Oh. That makes more sense.

Haha, that is totally a classic joke about people who speak bad english in Asia, experienced in real life! Awesome.

Really? These people weren’t even asian. What if they knew it was a joke and said it on purpose? What if I wasn’t even mis-hearing? That’d be crazy!

That would be amazing! We should do that, go out and get ice cream and you can ask me really loudly. See what happens, if we get rude stares. Haha!
