Were lost. Juan my brother is in the back seat, Amanda’s in the passenger seat and I’m driving. I have no clue where I am; it’s the one part of Cambridge I don’t know. After pretending I knew where I was I gave in and admitted that I was lost.

“I told you,” Juan chuckled busting my balls. “Pull over and ask for directions. Amanda, ask that lady right over there”

Juan directed.

I pull up beside some lady, Amanda rolls her window down and I swear one of the funniest “you had to be there moments” occurred. Amanda leans her neck out the window and say’s in her best shy mousey voice, “Eck..cuse me?”

She says it again and then two more times. Finally my brother said, ”Amanda I’m right next to you and I can’t hear you”

Amanda looks embarrassed. The lady never heard a peep from the car. Juan and me are dying hysterically. It was the cutest uncomfortable two words I had ever heard. “Eck..cuse me.” She would never hear the end of it.

From that moment I loved watching her feel embarrassed. She was too cute to be uncomfortable. It makes me smile even thinking about it. 

- Victor

I will never forget the first time Victor’s brother made fun of me considering I am still being teased to this day. Juan had told me to ask a lady for directions while Victor and I were driving him to the airport. I remember sticking my head out of the car window and trying to get this lady’s attention.

“I can’t get her attention,” I said defeated.

The car was dead silent.

“What?” I asked looking over at Victor in the drivers seat.

He was smiling and looked as if he might burst at any second. I turned to Juan in the back seat. His face was bright red.

“What?” I asked again.

That’s when they both lost it. They were dying laughing, tears were even sliding down their faces. It took them forever to finally be able to tell me what was so funny.
