A little bit of humour ....

[asy]

Funny thing happened on the way home tonight.

Had to pick my Son up from Gymnastics at 6pm (well, didn't HAVE to, but they get cranky if you leave the kids there...). I'd said the kids could have Fish and Chips tonight, and had ordered them on the way to Gym, and stopped to pick them up on the way home.

Now, I usually ring and order the F&C and send one of the kids on a bike to fetch them (they're on the same street as we are, and we don't do it very often), but tonight I went into the store.

I haven't been in there since I started the programme.

The lady who owns the store came out and was shocked. She's a funny person, her english is not too hot, but she makes the best Fish and Chips for a Chinese woman. And her Daughter is at school with mine.

Aaaaaaaanyway...

She came out and said "oooh, you lost weight" I said, "Yes, thank you for noticing", she asked "How did you do it?!" (patting her stomach) I said, I stopped eating Fish and Chips (I wasn't explaining the system to her since there's no way she'd do the programme and anyway, I didn't really have time.

Then she asked "How much weight you lost? 20kg??"

I said, "Well, no, a little more than that".

She said "Nooooooo, How much? You tell me!"

I said "nearly 75kg".

She said "No, you didn't understand, Not "How much do you weigh", but "How much did you LOSE"...

I said, "Um, yes, almost 75kg. That's what I've lost. "

It was really funny, I said my goodbyes and ran outta there, for fear of getting stuck there...

Then she turned to the other woman in the shop and proceeded to explain (translate) to her what was said. She was making all the appropriate shocked sounds, but the FUNNIEST thing was when she was trying to explain what I looked like before... She held her arms around her like she was hugging an imaginary barrell, and blew her cheeks out trumpeter style and waddled up and down. It was HILLARIOUS.

Thankfully we were already getting into my car out the front, and they didn't see us roaring with laughter.

So, that was my evening. Then I came home and cooked chook and veg for me, it was yum.
