Speakin' My Language

The Lakers are playing tonight which means this evening's conversations with Honk will be about as stimulating as a Will Farrell movie. Here's one that took place five minutes ago:

From the kitchen I yell to Honk who's eating dinner in front of the TV, "How are they (Lakers) doing?"

him: "It's great, Hon! Thanks so much!"

me: "Whaaaat?... No, not the food! The Lakers! What's the SCORE?"

him: "Ohhhh..." (Still no answer to my question.)

me: "So, exactly how much of what I say do you hear when the game's on?"

him: "Not bad. How are you?"
