A Fruity Bunch
(A group of Chinese tourists come into our café. They clearly know each other well. When it comes to names:)
Tourist #1: “Mango.”
Tourist #2: “Apple.”
Tourist #3: “Banana.”
Tourist #4: “Grape.”
Tourist #5: “Strawberry.”
Tourist #6: “Peach.”
(My first thought was they decided to have fun, but given all the lists of weird English names of Chinese people I’ve seen, I have to wonder if those are actually their English names, perhaps picked out together?)
