Two Things at Once

Crystal: "Are you trying to sleep while you're drinking?"

I just happened to be closing my eyes while I was drinking a glass of water. She was serious.

Well...

Crystal and I were on the couch last night talking about languages. At one point, she began to wax poetically...

Crystal: It's crazy that I still automatically know my Cantonese conjugations.
Aw Hoay, I go
Nay Hoay, You go
Aw-day hoay, We go
Aw hoy-joah, I went
Aw-day hoy-joah, We went
Nay-day hoay-joah, You guys went
Aw you hoay yee-gah, I need to go now
Nay you hoy yee-gah, You need to go now
You-goah nay mm-hoay yee-gah, aw wooay sahtsay nay-lah, If you don't go now, I will kill you

While driving home from church:

Crystal: Oh, it must be that the trees have leaves.
