Many blue flood lights have been marking the low lying gray clouds. This signals the upcoming great pumpkin event and the field where these powerful spot lights contain lots of pumpkins for the picking. This has been going after sunset.
The night wore on and Paw came upstairs and startled me by knocking on the wall leading to my computer room. The time was 06:35PM and he told me we were late for the dinner at the house of Brat and Twit. I was already stuffed full of Vietnamese soup (or pho) from lunch today. The soup was saltier from the ginger – yum.
I hurriedly got dressed and we arrived around 06:45PM to discover their new table was already set for us five. This was the first time the couple had used the table and I am surprised at the two to sharing that even with us.
Twit cooked the meal of roast beef with small potatoes and cut carrots, boiled mushrooms, large amount of curly pasta with green beans and yellow corns, and the tomato soup with tofu and white noodles. Paw ate most of the broccoli while I claimed the mushrooms.
The dinner and conversation were normal enough and later both seemed to have their disagreements in front of us like any normal airheads. I believe Brat is quite a joker (from Paws side) and tends to let his behavior annoy certain people, especially Twit. He joked he wanted tea when Twit came back without his share. She told him to get his own and probably for him being a brat. Wow!
She is a good cook and I have been well fed by her cooking because I wouldn’t stop burping (as a sign of respect after eating their meals). I have to admit my ‘prayer’ was for Brat to love someone understanding enough and I distinctly requested someone with a Buddhist background. And sure enough Twit came into our lives. I thank the whole night went well.
However, as a joke, our Maw joked by winking her eyes at Brat and started to scold Brat loud enough; so Twit could hear the disciplinary actions. Brat likes to take frequent and long naps and buy toys of models that seem to clutter up his rooms. Twit, however, has other ideas and Maw tried to even the playing field by ‘taking’ Twits side.
We bid our farewells and we truly enjoyed the evening. In spite of my misgivings and unfair ranting about the negative aspects of anyone via my blogs, these two were meant for each other in special ways. I have further to learn the meaning of this ‘love’ between two people.
