A strange man…

         

     The man was laughing out loud at the joke that only he had heard. I found that man very weird to be honest. He used to crack up on the lamest joke of all. Usually his laughs were soft and gentle but this time the situation was different. This time he was laughing really loud. He was practically on the floor. The person sitting next to him had whispered something to Mr. Watson and then on he started laughing.

     His name was Mr. Watson. He is a Professor in Math at the University of Mississippi. Actually he is a friend of my mom since my mom also teaches in the same University. He had invited me and my family for dinner. At the moment my dad is in Dubai for some business deal, so it wasn’t possible for him to come. Only me my mom and my brother went. It was the first time we were going to a dinner as a family after we have moved in Mississippi. For some reason my mom was really dressed up and told me and my brother to be the same way. Anyway, we went to there house and as we entered the house I was completely shocked. For a second I couldn’t move because the house was enormous and beautifully furnished. One of the servants named Mark opened the door and then another servant led us to a dining table. As I saw the dinning table I was even more stunned because it was beautiful. Other than that it had so many delicious appetizers, Sweets, and best of all the main dishes. I looked around to see what my brother and mom’s reaction was but they were acting as very sophisticated people. So I decided to discontinue acting barbaric and followed the way my mom and brother were acting.

           We sat down at the dining table and then we heard a bell. After the bell was ringed Mr. and Mrs. Watson appeared. They greeted everyone and told the parents to introduce the children. When it came to introduce my name Mr. Watson made this hideous face. Well I wouldn’t blame him because my name is so old fashioned. My name is Rosabell. So I am called Rosy at school.

           Well, as I said Mr. Watson would laugh at everything which we all would find very lame. I guess he was doing that to show that he is very humorous person. Well, we all begin eating and all of a sudden Mr. Watson started laughing really hard. To be honest he was on the floor and nobody besides the man sitting beside him had any clue why he was laughing. The man beside him had this weird face since he didn’t say anything hilarious. He just said a mean joke about a lady wearing men shoes. Finally he quit laughing and people begin to ask, including my mom “What happened?”, “Are you Ok?” and “Are you sure you don’t need any help?” Mr. Watson stood up and told everyone that the reason of why he was laughing was that he had remembered one of the scenes of Tom & Jerry!
