stand-off

Tonite, we had dinner at Popo's place. Both Jerry & Aaron had napped in the car and arrived refreshed and energetic.

After dinner, as we sat around chatting and watching the Olympics (China vs US volleyball), Aaron put on a show for everyone that had us rolling around in laughter. He staged a stand-off with his dad when Kelvin told him not to play with the remote controls (or something like that) and he "talked back" at his dad for quite a long time, babbling and gesturing with his hands. When he stopped doing both, he stood huffing and puffing thru' his nose at his dad for another half minute! Huffing & puffing angrily is something that some of you may have noticed Kelvin doing when particularly upset and sometimes Jerry does the same. Aaron then resumed talking back some more as his dad continued his disapproving lecture (about how he should not play with things that are not toys and that he should stop when told to stop). Popo, Victor, Ho Yee Jeung & I were sitting behind Aaron, facing Kelvin. All of us were working hard to stifle our laughs and Kelvin almost lost the match by starting to laugh himself. Finally, Aaron huffed and puffed some more before walking away in disgust, leaving us to laugh our heads off.
