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.

Me: Dude, Pumba's a warthog.

Date: 2011-03-26 02:25 am (UTC)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.
