Okay, sorry about lack of interesting posts on my blog lately. Work has been very stressful and every single one of my brain cells have been drained at the end of the day.
Today, I would like to take you back to the time when I was still a young innocent 9 years old boy. My memory may have failed me a bit, I will tried my best to include as much details as possible.
Setting:
Act 1 – Wayne’s Home.
Act 2 – Taipei National City Theatre.
Casts:
Dad
Mom
Sister
Wayne
Wayne: “MOM!”
Mom: “What?!”
Wayne: “I won free tickets to see ‘Little Crayon’s Adventure’ movie!”
Mom: “How many?”
Wayne: “Four!”
Mom: “Let me see.”
Mom took the movie tickets out of Wayne’s hand.
Mom: “This Sunday at three. Sounds good to me. All four of us can go.”
Wayne: “Hao Bon! Hao Bon!!” (Great! Great!)
The scene changes into the area inside of a theatre. People were just entering the theatre from outside. Dad, Mom, Sister and Wayne arrived a bit too early for the movie. They decided to use the time to find good seats as well as getting some snacks from the vendor.
Mom: “Two please.”
The vendor (since he’s an extra, he doesn’t get any lines) hands Mom two lollipops.
Mom hands the lollipops to Sister and Wayne. “Don’t eat too fast.”
The children nod their head.
Dad: “Good Air Conditioner. Cool inside.”
The four of them decided to seat in the center of the theater, proximally on the 18th row. They moved themselves from the side toward the center. As Wayne approaches his seat, he let his left hand to take over the ownership of the lollipop.
Dad took the seat first.
Wayne bends his knees and reaches for the seat. He inserts his right hand into the opening of the folding seat.
A strange sensation hits the tip of Wayne's fingers, then the rest of his hand, as Wayne thrusts his hand deeply into some kind of clay, stuck in between the folding seat.
Wayne: “Ah”
Sister: “What?”
Mom and Sister are yet to sit down. They look at Wayne.
Wayne reached his right hand out of the folding seat.
Mom: “Hurry and sit down!”
Wayne pulls his right hand closer to his nose.
Wayne sniffs twice.
Wayne: “MAMA!!! This is DAH-BIEN!!!!”
Dah-Bien = Shit, in Mandarin.
Wayne screams.
Sister: “Get away from me!”
Wayne screams once more.
Mom: “Go! Go Wash! Go Wash!!”
Wayne keeps on screaming.
Sister: “Go!”
Wayne hands the lollipop to Dad.
Raise his right arm forward. Then rushes to the entrance, where the sign says “Public Restroom.”
Wayne squeezes a bunch of soap onto the center of his palm.
Wayne turns the water on Full-Blast.
Wayne let his right hand sit under the running water.
Wayne watches as the dark brown stains begin to slide from the tip of the finger tip to the bottom of the sink.
Wayne pull his hand out of the sink. And squeeze more soap on his right palm.
Wayne rubs his two hands together. And let the water flush the soap away.
* Repeat the above action 5 times *
Wayne dries his hands with paper towels. Then raise his right hand toward his nose.
Wayne sniffs.
Wayne turn on the water and squeeze more soap on his right hand.
Wayne rubs both hands together aggressively.
Wayne rinses his hands under the running water.
Wayne squeezes some more soap on his hand.
Wayne washes his hands until the skin start to wrinkle.
Wayne dries his hands with paper towel and head out of the restroom.
Wayne bumped into his sister at the entrance of the restroom.
Sister: “I don’t know. But I felt like washing my hands too.”
The two head toward the area where Mom and Dad are standing. Waving their hands.
Dad hands Wayne the lollipop.
Wayne looks at his lollipop. Then put it back in the plastic bag.
Sister puts her lollipop in the plastic bag as well.
There were totally silence during the cartoon movie.
After 40 minutes, the cartoon movie ended.
Dad, Mom, Sister and Wayne walk out of the theater remember nothing about the movie.
Ever since that saga, Wayne and his sister always look and make sure nothing is on the theater seats before sitting their butt down.
