another doozy

 

ahhhh i must say, the timing of this entry is good. We are at the end of our little xanga revival experiment, I am suddenly reminded of the reasons why I even wrote on xanga to begin with - to share with you (my hundreds and hundreds of fans, eh more like 7 this week) bits and pieces of my thoughts and experiences. This one I am about to share happened about 1 hour ago at lunch.

So I am getting lunch at Real Time Sports Bar and Grill in Itasca with my folks. They wanted to go to this other Chinese place not too far, and when we got there, there was a sign that said, "closed for vacation until July 14th". My parents were a little bummed out because they always prefer Chinese food over anything else. On a side note, I will say however my parents are quite open minded compared to most Asians when it comes to cuisine. They regularly will eat French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, etc....anyways so we ended up at Real Time sports. My dad is looking at the menu, the server comes over to take our orders down, and this is what my dad says:

Mr Wu: yeah what is this sandwich, how you say this? P-O Boy? What does that mean?

Me: uhhh that's actually Po' Boy sandwich

Server: yeah thats Po Boy sandwich

Mr Wu: what does that mean? why it called po boy?

Server: thats just what it's called, i dont know

Me: ill explain later.

I later explained to him that it was either a cajun accent thingy or an ebonics accent thingy. and they were like AHHHH.
