Post your "American Moments" here.

I bet it's apple juice.

They'll never fess up to it though.

2nd most likely is pear juice, my guess.

You're both right, but wouldn't that make it 5 juices?

I want this, so that I can wander around trying to sell people a bridge for real.

The older one seems a bit intelligent, but even she has no attention span whatsoever, and can't describe simple things to me.  And is it normal not to know your own birthday at six?

Noooooo

not normal! Not normal at all!

[Jasper]

I didn't think so.

Poor kids are being raised on computers and teevee.  They are unable to entertain themselves.  Sad.

At the dentist, sitting in the chair. Hispanic dentist, whitebread assistant.

[discussing the name of a new assistant]
Assistant: Rhona. Is that a Spanish name?
Dentist: No, but it sounds like "rana", which is "frog" in Spanish.
Assistant: Do names change in Spanish much?
Dentist: Some. Like, my name wouldn't. "Wendy" is still Wendy. But yours would be "Cyntia" instead of Cynthia.
Assistant: I don't think I can even pronounce that!
Dentist: Cyn-ti-a
Assistant: I won't even try!

I know so many people who are like that.  I don't get them.

I found 'pizza sauce' in a squeeze bottle at the grocery store last night.

[Rumckle]

Eh, we got that here. And considering what you Americans do to pizza sometimes, well that's probably the least of your Italian culinary faux pas.

[Requia ☣]

Is pizza really Italian?  I always figured they just pretended it was Italian to sell more of it.

[Rumckle]

Well, not any more.

[Jenne]

It is Italian, but what we call pizza and what they call pizza...so is not the same.  It's good, but not the same.

[Requia ☣]

The last pizza sauce I had had pineapple and barbeque sauce.  There was no Italian of any kind involved.

Come to think, that's a pretty American moment.

ORANGE STRAWBERRY PINEAPPLE JUICE

A BLEND OF FOUR JUICES.

No, no, it's orange, strawberry, pine, and apple. A blend of four juices.
