well, this has been a little joke among my little circle of friends.

you see, Charlie’s dad is the bishop of West Malaysia. we’re currently staying with a host family right now, in Austin. the patriarch is the retired archbishop of S.E.A, and former bishop of Sabah. His wife is the daughter of the first bishop of West Malaysia. tonight, the daughter’s friends came over, and they are husband and wife, and both are pastors’ kids.

can you see what an awesome gathering this is? XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i’ve always found pastor’s kids fascinating. they are indeed a category of their own. a very eclectic & strange-but-true category. XD undefinable. unfathomable.

and their sense of humor is usually a very elegant waltz on the fine line between divine humor and cheekiness. makes you wonder doesn’t it?

tonight, we were having dinner, and the conversation led to our plans for tomorrow, or tonight. before that, let’s get to know our characters!

Lois – ABK.
Alex – husband.
April – PK (wife)
Mac – PK (husband)

“so what you want to do tonight?”
“6th street…” quipped ABK’s husband. XD 6th street is a notorious street with a popular clubbing scene in Austin.
“ohohohohoho… he wants to corrupt you two!”
“we should all get tattoos!”
“yeah, you should write there ABK!”
“nono, we’ll start with PK, then BK, then ABK! and mom should come along too!” – mom here refers to the matriarch of the host family.
“charlotte should do it too!” XD

another instance, showing how BKs and PKs try to break out of their shells. XD

“Alex and April wants to open their ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ counseling, because they don’t care about people’s feelings…” Lois explained.
“The truth shall set you free!” Alex quipped.
“So when people go to them, they will scold them and then, Mac and I will have our own counseling next door to pick up the broken pieces…” Lois continued. “And send them on their way to a friend’s restaurant, and they’ll eat and get fat, and go back to Alex and April’s.”
“And we’ll tell them, ‘You’re fat! What is wrong with you??” April chimed in. and we all burst into laughter.

wicked humor.

another friend of theirs went out for dinner with the missus, and they left their young child with the family, and the boy was particularly attached to the men, and the men decided to take a picture of the boy being held up close enough to the fan as though his head was going to get cut off and they would send the picture to his parents.

goodness me. and to think Charlie is bad. XD
