Cheap / Not Cheap ...

So - once in a while Chris and I would drive up to NYC and work remote from my parent's place. We would work downstairs and have homemade breakfast :) This is one of those weeks.

This morning - Chris came down stairs and told me about a dream that he has:

Chris: "So I was dreaming that I was shopping w/ you , and a friend of yours. Don't remember who it was. We were in a store and she came out with two huge shopping bags - on each hand. "

"She asked : should I buy this cheap things or should I buy this not cheap thing ?"

"She goes on : cheap / not cheap , cheap / not cheap , cheap / not cheap ..."

(by this time I couldn't figure out where this was going)

"So I woke up, and found a bird chirping outside - cheap ... cheap .. cheap ... cheap ... "
"Stupid bird made me have a shopping dream"

HA.

I re-told this story to my mom in Chinese later on the day, and before we got to the punch line, particularly at the cheap part, she quickly said - oh that's Yen....

Probably something lost in translation....

Dog booty ?

My dog is getting really old... and one of the problem of getting old is the fact her hind legs is really weak, and causing issues when she want to stand up - especially right after she wakes up.

So... I decided that she needs help - to get a grip. I wanted to look for things I've seen that covers the dog's feet up - w/ a little bit of robber padding to help with the grip.

So I searched: "Dog booty" in google.
Not getting too many results (and some weird results) I complained to Chris.

Chris : why are you looking for dog booty ?

me: Well - b/c Brandy needs it.

Chris : huh ?

me: you know - those things that wraps around her paws to give her grip.

Chris: Oh you mean booties !

me : ... then - what's a booty ?

Chris: That's butt. Why are you looking for dog butt ?

me < --- speechless.

and proceeds to complain about the English language... and look for dog booties.

Brandy will get her booties while I am in town :)
