Makes You Want To Bury Your Head In The Sand
(I am talking on the phone with a friend. We both live in California, but I am planning on going to university on Oahu. Previously, I have been to Oahu once, on vacation. I have just gotten a new skateboard and am learning how to ride it.)
Friend: “So, what did you do today?”
Me: “Practiced my skateboard a little. I still don’t really know how to turn it, but at least I didn’t fall.”
Friend: “How are you gonna skateboard in Hawaii?”
Me: “Oh, I’m just going to bring my skateboard in my luggage. It’s small enough to fit.”
Friend: “No, I mean how are you going to actually ride it? Hawaii is all sand!”
Me: “… What?”
Friend: *entirely serious* “It’s an island! It’s all sand!”
