I like to be humor
Understanding my first joke in Chinese…
On my way home tonight, I stopped at 7-Eleven to buy some water. The cashier was an older guy, around age 55.
Except where noted, the following conversation took place in Chinese.
My lines are on the left:
🙂
Can I use Apple Pay?
We have Orange Pay.

Sorry, I missed that.

What did you say?

Banana Pay.

Pear Pay.

Also Apple Pay!

🤣
Ohhhhh, I do not have Orange Pay.
🤣
I only have Apple Pay!
OK, you can use Apple Pay!

It wasn’t the best joke.
But it was the first one I heard—and understood—in Chinese.
This feels like a moment.
And besides, I like to be humor!
