We pretty much ordered out the whole late-night menu: ice cream (2 flavors), something called watkin wynne pudding, éclairs, Pringles (because they’re my favourite), onion rings (god knows why), and fruit (because we needed something that wouldn’t kill us).
We stayed up all night nattering on and on. We couldn’t stop laughing, first at Burbank’s impressions of famous movie characters, then when the fruit hit the floor. That’s when Burbank noticed his next big thing: Fruit hitting the floor is hilarious. This is probably due to parents telling their kids to be careful with the fruit from the shopping centre. Don’t juggle the oranges. Mind the peaches so they don’t bruise. Dropping fruit as adults taps into that, making us feel like we’re getting away with something. This makes us giggle. It probably also has to do with the sound it makes.
Dear Burbank,
ReplyDeleteI would never use the expression OMG.
