More adventures in miming

[lydy]

I sent David an email last night suggesting that for my birthday, he take me to the new Mad Max movie. This morning, we "talked" about this. I was able to successfully convey that yes, I wanted that movie in particular, not just a movie in general. Then we "talked" about lunch. I successfully managed to mime "give me a multiple choice question," and "yes, I don't like Chinese in general, although there are exceptions." However, I completely failed to convey, "But there's a SmashBurger right there, in the mall!"

David said, "I know there isn't one right here, unless there's one under your bed."

I had to resort to typing on my computer and showing it to him, at which point he said, "Well, why didn't you just say so?"

So, I yelled at him with my duck hands.

"Peking duck? But you don't like Chinese." And then he made his escape.
