Grape and other gummies.

Because she knows that I like them, my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker at the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now brought in several free sample packs of gummies that she got somewhere, one of grape gummies shaped like little dark purple grape bunches, and one of peach gummies shaped like little pinkish-orange peaches.

And, like I always do, I made sure to put some on a plate and share them with the (Guatemalan) kitchen workers in the back.

In fact, they enjoyed the peach gummies so much and ate them so quickly, that I poured out some more on another plate and brought that back as a second round of gummies, only this time I turned them all around in the same direction so that when you looked at them, they all looked like a plateful of little ass-cheeks.

"Quieres culo?" ("You want ass?"), I was like, pointing to the little candies, "Hay rico culo" ("Here's some tasty ass").

Later, too, when the one dishwater stepped outside to deliver a rack of clean glasses, after he did that, he paused and was like, "Dame mas culo, quiero mas culo" ("Give me more ass, I want more ass").

That day the coconut ice cream was incredibly frustrating, too, since someone had made the batch up wrong and it was almost impossible to scoop -- it'd take you five minutes to get out one scoop of ice cream, even if you let the metal scooper sit in very hot water before you tried to scoop it -- and so, after digging at that in the basement freezer, I told the kitchen workers about it, knocking my head with my fist theatrically and being like, "Hoy el helado es muy duro, como mi cabeza" ("Today the ice-cream is very hard, like my head") -- at which the one dishwasher immediately said something like, "Si, no es suave, como tu culito" ("Yes, it's not soft, like your asshole"), and just chuckled at what he had said very delightedly, since he had gotten me.
