Dinner in Chinatown. (Rama is a fan of noodle soup). Waiter comes over, setting down my plate of VEGGIE spring rolls. In a strong Chinese accent, "Here's yo' WE-GGIE..." Meaning, VEGGIE, of course.
Rama: He's giving you a wedgie?!
(Rama knows wedgie as underwear that gets stuck between butt-cheeks. Something that one has to fix pronto. Once, she also worried about how some girls wear thongs - wedgie always!)
As we segue into lessons on diversity and political correctness ("Some people just happen to make different sounds for words. But, we know what they mean.")

Good ol' wedgies! I remember those childhood days when those annoying boys used to run around the school playground, trying to give people wedgies!
I presume Rama's Toronto school experience is similar to a Sydneysider's school experience - gauging from her knowledge of wedgies and all...
Thank Zsa Zsa Zaturnah for our wedgie (and thong) exposure. And, that she's growing out of her pants so fast - they're all riding up her butt! I think she hangs out with good girls and boys - no wedgie-givers, as far as i know.
Who is Zsa Zsa Zaturnah?! Yes she really is growing fast! Hey thank you for your supportive email! The experience has been a blast - will write you about it soon. x
OMG. ZZZ. Where do I start? Basically, she is one of Rama's superheroes. :-) ZZZ started as a graphic novel. Then it was staged as a muzicale. Then made into a movie. Graphic novel pa lang, fan na si Rama. ZZZ is gay parlorista who swallows a rock and turns into a wonderwoman of sorts, doing battle with giant frogs, zombies and amazon aliens. There's stuff on youtube. And Rama has a vid doing ZZZ, too. We love.
