Tssssss, could you not run that by me again? Translation- Reactions.

Of course, there are always times when in a conversation with a person where your responce to one of their many cosen phrases wouldn't even count as a word. It's completly regular to do so, but responding by saying something even odder than what they had said before. Please, stay with me here. What was wrong with saying "T,k,ka,sa."?


It's an original saying that I once used after my friend, Darryn said something that left me frozen. I have used it since then. Alot of other people have found themselves making things up, but then one day I witnesed Darryn tell someone the same thing he told me and that person responded by saying, " Does this Belong to you?"


I mean I dont know about you but thats a little weird. I once found myself saying a sentence after a odd conclusion by a friend of mine. It of course is not someething I'm proud of, but I'll go ahead and tell you what happened. You saw that coming didn't you? It's inedible. Anyway, i was on hike with the youth group at the church I go to and my friend Jacob and i were walking side by side. i believe that we were hiking through a path where at the end of it would be a waterfall. It was Un doubtable that at one point in our conversation we would find ourselves talking about the waterfall. Not surprising enough, 4 minutes into the walk, Jacob mentioned water flowing off a cliff in a very fast pace. I stopped for a minutes and used my right hand to place a 10 dollar bill into my left hand, then started walking again. The right side of my body made a bet with the left side of my body that wouldn't start talking about the falls untill 5 minutes into the hike. Any way I did Jacob a favour by saying, "Speaking of flowing water, the waterfall at the end of this hike."

He said "Thanks, I was hoping you would say that."

I responded by saying, " You owe me big time." Despite what you're think, that's not the weird phrase I mentioned at the beginning of this blog. At the beginning of the hike, the youth pasture mentioned that we were'nt even allowed to put our feet in the water, because of the cold weather and the chance of getting hypo-thermia. I definitly agreed with that rule. Usually I 'm a rebel with that kind of stuff, but when it comes to cold weather, I'm a mother who only has one kid. But, Jacob after being at the Hike last year, knew how much fun the water is, so of course he has to mention how much he hated that rule. I shook my head. Then, he said, "When we get the falls, I'm gonna like lie down in water and jump through the falls."

I responded by saying , "Why don't I just shoot in the head now and get it over with."


It was a little un-called for. Necessary, but un-called for. So, Jacob shot me in the hip. That's a lie.
