How my dad almost embarrassed me to death at the dinner table
- I'm at the dinner table with my dad, my ninong [god father], my 14 year old sister, Julia, and her best friend, "Monkey".
- Dad: "Monkey," would you like some brussel sprouts?
- Monkey: Oh no thanks, I don't like brussel sprouts.
- Me: Really? They're yummy though!
- Monkey: Yeah, but you like asparagus.
- Me: Asparagus is yummy!
- Monkey: No they're not! My dad likes them though.
- Dad: Does he like the white ones or the green ones?
- Monkey: Both.
- Ninong: I only like the canned ones because they're soft.
- Me: Ohhh.. I like mine firm.
- Monkey: *Sniggers*
- (I hit her arm lightly for laughing at my sentence; everyone bursts out laughing)
- Monkey: That's not why I was laughing!!!
- Me: Oh yeah? Why else would you be laughing at that?
- Julia: No she laughs at everything!
- (We all start laughing and teasing at the same time)
- Dad: No, I know how Alex likes hers. White and fi-----
- (We all freeze. My ninong bursts out laughing again)
- Dad: Oh my God... You're grounded.
- Me: I'M grounded?? Go to your room!

- Me (Monkey) Now: ... *snigger snigger*
