Really? A Classic Story of Miscommunication

Background Information: Dalan has a hard time sitting for large amounts of time on hard chairs. It hurts his behind, since he is lacking some junk in the trunk. Also, his knees bother him sometimes too if he sits too long, because of his injury.

Here is a picture of Dalan's classic stand up and stretch move.

Setting: Buca Di Beppo last Saturday night.

Characters: Jessi and Dalan

Really?
A Classic Story of Miscommunication
By: Jessi

Dalan stands up for the second time during the meal.

Dalan (quietly): I have to use the bathroom.

Jessi (not hearing what he said, but seeing him stand up): Really? (Meaning do you really need to stand up again? People are going to think you are being rude, and want to leave. Sit down and deal with it the uncomfortableness.)

Dalan: It is what it is.

Jessi: Well, can you at least take pictures then? (handing him the camera.)

Dalan: YOU WANT PICTURES OF ME PEEING? (thinking, wow! She is taking this getting pictures for the blog to the extreme!)

Jessi (turning bright red): Oh! You got up to go to the bathroom. Gotcha!

I have laughed about this little miscommunication all week.
