A Conversation with DS

me: what's with all these cops out tonight?

  ds: not sure.. maybe it's a response to all these flash mobs that have been roaming the streets?

  me: what?!? we had flash mobs and i missed it???

  ds: yeah, it's kind of nuts

  me: man, that's awesome. i'd love to see that!  why would the cops care about that? were they disrupting traffic or something?

 ds: what? no man, it's scary. they're like twenty 16 year old running around and knifing people

  me: oh. yeah, i don't think you know what a flash mob is

  me: a flash mob is where people show up like it's random and then do a dance routine

 ds: oh.  what kind of mob is this?

  me: that'd just be a regular mob.

I'm not posting this to make fun of DS, though I did laugh a lot at the time.  Mostly, I think it really illustrates how different our brains are.  And it's funny.
