Last night sitting in a Chinese restaurant celebrating the Chinese new year, I look up and smile at the blond kid who is just about to take a mouthful of cake:

TheBlondeKid: What are you smiling at?

Me: Just you.

TBK: I know what that smile means..

Me: What?

TBK: That I’m going to eat this and it tastes nasty and your going to laugh at me.

Me: No I was just smiling at you.

TBK: So YOU eat it…

Me: I’ve just had one, I was really just smiling at you. Eat it.

TBK: No you eat it…

Me: (through a mouthful of the blonde ones cake) I told you there was nothing wrong with it…

(pauses to swallow)

…You don’t trust me do you?

TBK: Do you think I’m crazy??
