So it never goes to fail there is always a “Really” moment at work. So my girl Jasmine, who sits behind, turns around and starts this lovely convo about one of the techs named Hong that we work with…
Jasmine: “Tiff is Hong Chinese or Japanese”
Me: “he is Korean”
Jasmine: “so is that Chinese or Japanese?”
With this question all I can do is tilt my head slightly to one side, look straight ahead at the wall and take a breath, after I have taken a breath...
Me: “he is Koreeeeeeaaaan”, chuckling at the girl.
Jasmine: “well I ask because my one friend told me that the way to tell the difference between a Chinese person and a Japanese person is that Chinese people speak their words choppy, like bong chong bong. Japanese people sing their words like booooong choooong booooong. Hong sings his words so does that mean he is Chinese or Japanese?”
At this point I am dying with laughter.
Me in between my burst of laughter “he is from Kooooreeeeeea. South Korea. I know this because one day I asked him where he was from and his answer was “I am from south Korea, not north Korea. You can be my friend”. Ha ha ha”
Jasmine: “so he is not Chinese or Japanese?”
Never a dull moment at work... Ha ha ha
