“I laughed. Partly at the joke, partly at how Afghan humor never changed. Wars were waged, the Internet was invented, and a robot had rolled on the surface of Mars, and in Afghanistan we were still telling Mullah Nasruddin jokes.”
“God? Nope." requel's smile told me she was joking around to make this easier for me "santa clause? No again.”
“Then she smiled and told me I was cute, and that I should be careful, and I asked her why, then she said that she might fall for me, but I know she was joking, because who would want to fall for me? I'm a mess.”
“If you tell a joke in the forest, but nobody laughs, was it a joke?”
“She's got a smile that it seems to me remind me of the childhood memories when everything was fresh as a bright blue sky.”
