boss: so.. how old are you getting? 35?
me: *doesn't answer*
boss: why are you looking at me like this, seriously, 35?
me: no, it's 25, unlike some other people I'm still young.
boss: baba! (means old woman, it's rather offensive)
me: who's baba?! jiji! (grandpa)
boss: after 22, all women are baba.
me: ...huh?

boss: I guess you'd have to date someone at least half a year to get married, right?
me: ...huh? eee... I guess, at least
boss: Say, do you have omiai in Poland?
me: no
boss: ...if we got married everyday would be tough. *some Japanese word*
me: ...huh?
boss: it means "evil wife"
me:...how do you say "evil husband"?

***

boss: baba!
me: jiji!
boss: say, let's call each other "baba" and "jiji".
me: huh?
boss: *continues* round up and down and we're practically the same age!
me: HUH?
boss: you know, you'll be rounding up starting Friday, and I'm 33 so I round down. So, practically, we're both 30.
me: boss, I don't like your rounding.

*I'm playing with a number of round magnets on the side of drinks fridge*
boss: what's this? a virus?
me: no
boss: then what? it looks like a pinworm
me: *kinda wanting to say "huh" again* it's a lone pine tree on the top of a mountain
boss: ...
boss: can't you say something more Polish?
me: HUH?

***

boss, totally out of blue: hey, let's get married when my hair's this long! *shows around his chin, give or take a year from now unless he cuts it on regular basis*
me: HUUUH?

***

guest (boss' friend): where are you from?
me: Po...
boss: *cuts in* Higashi Kasai
guest: oh, so you're a half?
me: ...no, I'm from Poland
guest: Poland?.. Poland... ah, I know, you have great soccer team, right?
me: no, actually, as far as I know we suck big time
guest: but some of your players are very good!
me: are they? I'm sorry, I don't know...
boss: of course she doesn't know, she's from Kasai!

and this is how my boss makes me speechless on Tuesdays, when there's no other baito girls for him to tease
