Today I am grateful for the TikToks Sam shared with me last night. I don’t look at TikTok on my own so the only ones I’ve seen are via Sam or my nephew Andrew (who is 23) . Sam and I disagreed about 1 of them being funny (love the insight into different senses of humor) but the other 4 were agreeably hilarious. This is one thing I’m not sure I would’ve shared as much with Sam without leukemia — he lets me into his world a bit more as we’re just hanging out.

Also, he told us of his adventure at a Mongolian BBQ place yesterday — he was there with some friends for lunch after the WC game. They were there last week too and I guess the other wait person had readily offered him a box to take home his leftovers (last week). Yesterday, however, it was a different person and she called over her manager and spoke to him/her in Mandarin. Sam said you should’ve seen the look on her face when he both translated what she’d said to her manager in Mandarin *and* asked her for a box in Mandarin too. He wasn’t rude but he made his point. 

She gave him the box.

My teen surprises. 😂
