So I was at this bubble tea shop, having ordered a drink and standing there waiting to be served (no pun intended).
Along comes two kids, and they squeezed in front of me, trying to get served as well. I stepped aside to get some breathing space for myself, slightly peeved at having my comfort zone intruded upon.
While still waiting, the two kids were chattering between themselves, and suddenly one of them opens his mouth and says "Sir...".
I didn't really think that was for me, but as the shopkeeper was a woman (and there wasn't a single soul around us except for the four of us) , I turned my head over casually and glared at the two kids, wondering what @#$%^&* games were they playing now. One of them was looking at me.
Kid (seeing the glare I gave) goes, "... uh, can I know the time please?"
I looked at my watch, it said 4.57pm. So I told the kid the time, and turned my wrist to let him take a look at it. (This is usually done so as to deal with those who don't believe me when they ask me the time).
Kid hears the time, and his jaw drops. He tells his friend, "I gotta go home!" And off he scoots, away with his schoolbag like a turtle with a shell.
I took a quick glance and noticed that they both weren't wearing watches.
His friend stayed on and ordered a bubble milk tea. With pearls.
