Jonsta - Unfiltered

Jonsta (viewing the pictures of the dear friends they miss from NZ from this blog post http://containyourexcitement.blogspot.com/2010/01/missing-as.html) - Jonsta begins listing off the people and families he knows from the pictures...

Jonsta - that's Eric!

Me - Impressive that you remember him son

Jonsta - that's OUR family! Hey, that's Jared's family! Annnnd...Matthew's family! Annnnd...oh! That's Nicholas' family - I KNOW that family! And that's Haki and I don't have any idea who's family.....!

Me (hoping for an interesting response) - Haki's family? Does Haki have a family? (also cos I knew Jonsta prob had NO idea who exactly made up Haki's family)

Jonsta (not one to be caught out in an error) JUST KIDDING!!

Me - It's Ange son. Haki and Ange. Ange is married to Haki.

Jonsta - Oh! (the Oh! of realisation). Haki and Ange's family...I don't see ME in OUR family's picture...

Me - That's right - that's because you and Monk were probably at school Jonts...

Jonsta - who's THAT guy?

Me - Which one?

Jonsta - THAT one (pointing)

Me - (enlarging the picture) You know who THAT is...

Jonsta - Oh! It's Eric! Eric's in this picture too. And the picture of OUR family....Oh, and who is THIS girl again...? (pointing to Sherry)

Me - THIS girl? You mean the one holding Joe?

Jonsta - (incredulous) I didn't know Joe was in this picture!!!!

JonSTAR moment

Scene: I'm chatting on the phone with Kate. JonSTAR is being his usual raucous self. The raucous-ness gets too much. I halt the conversation temporarily.

Me: YOU! ("pinning him to the spot" from across the room with my pointed finger. I pick up a cushion) THIS cushion (pointing at the cushion). YOUR name on it!! (I then throw the cushion at him in a typically awkward girly fashion). STOP!!! (with accompanying glare, to be interpreted as 'STOP doing all that naughty stuff NOW, cos Mummy SAYS SO!').

Pause.

I continue my chat with Kate on the phone. Next thing you know JonSTAR has retrieved the thrown cushion from the floor and begins examining it intensely. Silence, while he thinks things over intensely then...

JonSTAR: Wait a minute!! This cushion doesn't have my name on it AT ALL!

Classic.
