one. We were all happy when we heard this. Later we tried to catch small sharks (鲨鱼). My grandpa caught one, but it snapped the line (咬断绳子). My uncle caught one, but it also snapped the line. My dad caught one at last. It didn’t look so scary but was a little funny....
I got home late tonight with my two children. As they rushed upstairs, I cleaned the cat litter and went to check the downstairs back door. My back door is always locked – and I have a metal bar jamming it so it can’t be jimmied open. Funny, I thought. The metal bar is not ...
Don’t get me wrong – I still giggle when I think of how I stopped dating someone for his gawd-awful pronunciation of aficionado (I know my story of his being “an aff-eh-KON-dee-oh” has ruined the word for at least a few friends), and while death is very seldom funny, gettin...

We hadn’t even noticed Ntima sitting there looking at us as if to say “Hello, most elusive member of the Big Five over here! Wake-up humans!” (That would be a pretty funny TikTok.) If I didn’t know better I might have thought he was hunting us! You may remember that Ntima ...
And really, it’s not funny. But something about my daughter’s sweet earnestness, and something about how all those years my mother was trying to do something good but was essentially crippling the object of her affection—gave me a taste of how powerless we can be as we make our ways...
