Another woodwork memory, this one from early 2020…
(Reminder here that the names are made up.)
Tan: “Sir, I would like to study technology when I’m older. I think I’ll go to America.”
Mr. Brit: “You could also go to China.”
Tan: “Yeah, I know. But I don’t really like China.”
Mr. Brit: “Why don’t you like China?”
Tan: “Well…”
Pri: “Sir! Haven’t you heard about China? And about the Conora virus?”
(huge explosion of laughter from the rest of us—which was Tan, Jas, and me)
Tan: “Really, Pri? Conora?’
Pri: “Yes! Conora!”
Tan: “Conora?”
Pri: “Conora!”
(this goes on for several moments—then…)
Tan: “Pri! CONORA?!?”
Pri: (pausing) “I mean Corona.”
(by this point Tan, Jas, and I were rolling around in uncontrollable laughter)
Traffic police incident I heard from Eli’s big brother a while ago
Their dad was on his way home from work. There’s a café right next to our dads’ office, so he had stopped by to get bread before going home. Not long after, a lady police officer pulled him over. (We have this theory that the girls are worse than the dudes, but I digress.) She starts asking him these prying questions.
“How do you drive with the steering wheel on the left? Did you just come from work? Are you going home to your family?”
Then she notices the loaf of bread on the passenger seat and asks, “Why did you buy brown bread? Are you diabetic?”
Yeah right. CAN’T I BUY WHATEVER BREAD I WANT?!
I don’t know what my uncle said, but knowing him, it was probably something clever and witty. Now I know: don’t drive around with brown bread. You’re bound to be questioned about it if you get pulled over.
Then again, maybe we should just forgive this lady; it was the end of the day after all.

*Me: Would you feel better if I said yes?*
Just a note here that the __corona__virus should not be confused with the __coroner__virus either.
I won't forgive this police lady. The same thing happened to my mom🤣 though instead of asking if she was diabetic, the police asked if my mom if she was sick or smth😂 srsly, tho... "cOnOrA🤣🤣😂😂 that's too much, i have WAY too many moments like that...
