Waiter: And our special tonight is a cut of wild boar, served with--
My Father: Wait, boar, like--what's his name, hangs out with the meerkat, tusks, with the song--
Me: You're thinking of Pumba.
Burro: What?
Burrito: Pumba, from the Lion King!
Burro: I thought he was an elephant.
My Mother: No, he was--an elephant? He was a boar, he was definitely a boar.
My Father: Right, so, are you serving Pumba? Is that what you're telling me?
Waiter: Uh, I don't think...it's specifically...Pumba...
My Father: Well, obviously, he is a cartoon character, don't be ridiculous.
Waiter ...
My Mother: I'm sorry about him.
Me: I think we're all sorry about him, really.
My Father: No, wait, you didn't answer my question, it's boar like Pumba, right?
Waiter: Uh. Yes?
My Father: Well, I can't eat that now that you've humanized it for me. I'd feel guilty. Do you have anything on the menu more Hakuna Matata friendly?
Waiter: I...recommend the trout?
Me: Seriously, we're really sorry, he's just like this.
My Father: Hey, but I bet I'm the first person to ask that question tonight, right?
Waiter: The first ever, sir. Rest assured.

ETA, via phonecall after [livejournal.com profile] false_alexis's comment:

Me: Dude, Pumba's a warthog.
My Father: SHIT, I WOULD HAVE ORDERED THE BOAR

Was Burro mixing The Lion King with Tarzan? <--- only thought of this because Tarzan is on tv right now.

SPEAKING OF FAMILIES.

Okay, I am very sad that my phone cannot, will not, DOES NOT let me get pictures from it to the internet. it is just-- not possible. BECAUSE I HAVE THE GREATIES MOST CLASSIEST PICTURE EVER WHICH EXPLAINS MY FAMILY.

So, my family made a store run last night, mostly for ice cream since it was Grey's Anatomy night. For this reason, my dad tagged along to get a beer. A beer. Beer singular. As in a can, a bottle, whatever. ONE BEER. He comes up to us on the ice cream aisle --where my mother is squinting at various small containers at ice cream trying to figure out which one has less calories because she does not understand the concept of ice cream anymore -- and he is holding what has to be the largest beer can I have ever seen. Because, while it is beer in a container that is can shaped, it is in fact a keg. A mini keg-can of beer. Seriously. This is in our fridge right now, right in front of three wine bottles. My family = the classiest.

Did you see Outsourced last night? Because there was a scene where someone impersonated two warthogs having sex - vocally. the impression, I mean, not the sex - and I laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaughed. I feel this information could be useful to you at future dinners :D

Date: 2011-03-26 02:37 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] gyzym.livejournal.com
I did not see that, and now I am afraid to, because I feel like even the knowledge of that existing could somehow lead to a situation where my father imitates warthog sex in public. The man has no shame--when I was a teenager and not yet entirely desensitized to embarrassment, he used to take me with him to the grocery store, hop on the back of the cart, race it down the aisles hooting and hollering, and then point at me and cry "HELLO, YES, YOU, THE LITTLE BLONDE HAIRED ONE WHO IS MY DAUGHTER, YOU ARE MY DAUGHTER, LET IT BE KNOWN TO EVERYONE WHO JUST SAW THAT, THE BLONDE GIRL PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW ME BY THE SALAD DRESSING IS IN FACT MY FIRSTBORN." :D

What I want to know is how Burro thought PUMBA WAS AN ELEPHANT.

BETWEEN THIS AND THE JINGLES THING, I DON'T EVEN KNOW.

DID HE SPROUT UNDER A ROCK?

From: [identity profile] gyzym.livejournal.com
Burro is a very bright guy, but there are...gaps. For example, here is a conversation we had this summer:

Burro: You know what I realized the other day?
Me: What's that?
Burro: All farms have barns, but not all barns are farms.
Me: ...you just realized that the other day?!

GAPS, I TELL YOU. GAPS.
