Funny moments with AB

While watching flag football:
AB: How is work going?
Friend: Work is going well.
AB: Oh that's cool, that's nice.  Is this your first game? Been out here before?
Friend: Oh yeah, work isn't as busy, so I've been able to come here more recently.
AB: Oh, that's nice!
Friend: ...But my girlfriend got injured during flag football recently.
AB (absent-mindedly): Oh, that's cool, that's nice.
Friend: *pause...*

In Rome 2017:
Me: How am I supposed to throw the coin into the Trevi Fountain? Right hand over left shoulder?
AB: Don't do it, you're gonna hit someone
Me: It'll be okay, I can do it.
AB: Don't do it, we are too far and it's too crowded.
Me: Here I go! .... [coin hits some random guy's leg]...

2018:
AB (regarding coughing): Are big phlegm balls good?
Me: not particularly.
Ab: today I had a big one and I wanted to send you a picture of it. But I didn't think it was show up on the camera.

Ab: what's the difference between cold and fever and flu?

Ab: *With big eyes* Yes! Do you see this big phlegm ball?! Feels so good to get it out! Now I can breathe!

2019:
AB: AAAAARRRRRRG! (After not doing so well in "overcooked" xbox game)

AB: Why did Josh say "lol"...Hahahaha... lol....lol.... [laughs uncontrollably]

2020:
AB: The way to get your kid ahead is to have them learn something rare, like viola or tuba, and to be in a state with few people, like Louisiana or Idaho.
Me: Does that mean we have to move?...Or you can find a sport/activity that's rare in the state you're in! What would that be for Texas?
AB: Recycling

Ab: it's our first recession together, how romantic.

AB: Are you suuuure? (Quoting SNL jeopardy)

YW during shelter in place: I guess I should appreciate that I still see people everyday. Are you bored that you only get to see me everyday?
AB: I only need one person, you're my favorite (😍). Sometimes I don't see a person until 5p when you come back.

YW: I'm so unlucky, that I got a fortune cookie with no fortune in it!


YW: is your favorite movie legally blond?
AB: maybe it is?
YW: no shame no shame!

Ab: maybe we can go camping on the streets of Austin.
YW: well you already look the part! 
QH: you can save money and earn money


While playing scattergories:
Letter is J
Yw: put down "Jems" for things you save up money for
Put down "ike" for items found in a souvenir shop.
Put down Nintendo xbox for furniture starting with "N"

Ab: what can we do with all our lemons?
YW: lemon pie, lemon curd, lemon chicken...
Ab: lemon grass! 
YW: uh...that's a plant.

YW was out in the garden, AB came out and pretended to be sherlock to find YW: noticed door unlocked to backyard, phone in kitchen, gate had not been opened. 

Ab: predicted correctly sherlock plot: it was a star that wasn't discovered yet.

Playing overcooked: 
AB: press B!

2021
YW: Why are we always staying at a La Quinta? 

Telestrations:


2022:
Ab's idea of a video game about YW: 
Certain things give or decrease YW's happiness level: 
*Decrease happiness points: Throwing out food
*Special ability: able to eat rotten foods.
*Meeting different people will provide different special abilities: 
    -Meet AB: travel reduced 50 percent cost
    -Can make two types of food: normal food or experimental food. Normal food always succeeds. Experimental food may or may not succeed but if it does succeed, will give happiness points. Meeting Mom ensures that all experimental foods succeed
    -you can do home improvement, but success rate is 50%. If you watch a 1 hour YouTube video, success rate increases to 75%. Meeting Dad ensures success of 100%.
