It's all fun and games until someone farts. Well that's not exactly what happened…. but it's still relevant. Last night a group of friends and I went to a birthday dinner for our friend Katie. Now you have to understand, Katie is an outspoken 110 pound hockey-player from Connecticut. So it goes without saying that Katie is hilarious. She's a wisecracking sass machine. Needless to say, a lot of jokes were said throughout the night. Some of my favorite moments, however, were after dinner. We decided to get sweet frog after dinner and were sitting at the table all telling stories about our parents getting drunk when we were kids. Katie starts to describe her father drinking, but her exact words were, "He was going slam-a-jam-a on those margaritas". None of us knew exactly how to respond to that so we all broke out laughing, especially when she finished by saying he passed out in the lobby of the hotel they were staying at. In her next story she described her mother's drinking experience as her going "ham biscuits" We all just stared at her laughing because who says things like that?? It only works for Katie.
After these fits of laughter we had finished our ice cream and it was time to go. At P.F. Chang's we had all gotten to-go boxes and left them in Jordan's car while we got ice cream (naturally). Now to preface, Jordan's car has a distinct smell, similar to the new car smell, pleasant, but different. So when we returned to the car after sweet frog, the scent of Jordan's car had mixed into a deadly concoction with the asian food. Opening the doors was like a one way ticket for our nostrils to unpleasantville. At first we couldn't understand what smelled so bad, and then we figured out it was the asian food and the whole drive home we could NOT stop laughing because Katie described the smell as asian farts (because of the asian food). She also told people we went to dinner at P.F. Wangs. By the end of the car ride we were all in tears and clutching our stomachs (and noses) because of laughing so hard. It was the kind of laughter that makes you never want to leave because it doesn't even matter what you say at that point- EVERYTHING is hilarious. It was a wonderful moment because all the endorphins were rushing and everyone was just in the best mood. I'm sure we all added a couple years to our lives on that car ride.
This post made me laugh, well chuckle, while reading it! I have to say I can agree with all of these things. I have a good friend whose from Minnesota who sounds pretty similar to your friend Katie (thought she's more like 6 feet tall). Taylor, my friend, always is laughing and always is laughing at things all of us don't understand. She has many sayings that none of understand. We also constantly laugh at the way she says her words, of course we are laughing with her not at her on this. No negative humor there. I have to say I can relate to that smell as well, I do hate the smell of leftovers once you get back into a car. Ewww is all I need to say. Thanks for writing this blog post Kira, it defiantly made me chuckle and I enjoyed that I could relate to it!
