Random day today. I was expecting to do eleven hours of service. Well, not really expecting it, but it was scheduled. I was expecting to get done early, like we’ve been during previous duck-selling projects.
OK, let me back up a little bit. Woke up early, got ready for the project. I even stopped at the bank to get lots of $5 bills, since we always need change to sell ducks. Went over to Will Oh’s, and Peggy came shortly after. Will drove, and we were off. Got to Old Sac and called up Laurie, the contact. Apparently Special Olympics didn’t remember we were scheduled to go out there today. So they told us to go home. We did so, after wandering around Old Sac and Downtown Plaza for a bit.
Found on on the way back home that there was a road trip to Frisco commencing, so Peggy and I went along on that. It was three cars’ worth, too… Ian drove Aiza, Peggy, and me; Joe drove Sheena and Vi; Paul drove Claire, Michelle J, and Chanda.
First we stopped at IKEA. Then off to Millbrae to drop of Claire and get some sandwiches from a deli called Lucca. They were pretty good. Ate them at a nearby park. Then off to Frisco proper to pick up Clayton. We hung out for a bit at his parents’ restaurant. Michelle J asked me to talk to them in Viet because they love it, apparently. That conversation is today’s quote.
“What has Clayton been eating in Davis? He’s hella fat now.”
- Clayton’s mom.
“Uh, I couldn’t tell you, really…”
- Me.
“Yeah, before Davis, he was all muscle. Now he’s fat. Actually, you’re kinda fat, too.”
- Clayton’s mom.
“…”
- Me, not sure how to reply.
“But you’re also handsome.”
- Clayton’s mom.
Yeah. That whole conversation was… odd. We covered the usual Asian parent stuff… school, work, girlfriends… Damn you, Michelle, for just leaving me there!
After that, dropped of Chanda, and we went to the mall. Wandered around for a while. Then we decided to go home. With a quick stop by Ian’s car at Wonderful Foods Co.
Now I’m back in Davis. And I have service at 6:45 in the morning. Yay!
EDIT: Will’s friend brought a puppy over to my place, and it wants to play with me because everyone else is watching a movie. But I have to be up in five hours! 
AHAHAHAHAHAHA… Man, that cracks me up with Clayton’s parents… That’s also very random… If I was there, I coulda helped you out… But I think Clayton’s mom would’ve liked you better, cause you’re handsome.
