Hey, listen dude. There is--or at least used to be--even a chain
called Takee Outee, owned by Chinese Americans. That was to
distinguish Chinese-American take out from more authentic Chinese,
such as this place:

My son WILL eat the food there.

I didn't raise him to be racist, and in fact he's shown no indication
that he even notices such things.

OK, I Googled takee outee. I invite you to do so as well.

He also knows the difference between "real" Mexican food and
Americanized Mexican food.

I'm laughing right now because he's in his bedroom with the girl next
door who is his same age. It's the first time they've hung out
together because they just moved in a few weeks ago. He's playing a
CD of my band, and singing along, and it's a real hoot. He just put
on a song called Welcome to Our World that is about as blatantly
sexual...He has no clue what the words mean.


Welcome to Our World



I do what you let me, girl,
I do what I can
I have to confess that
I'm a yes man

Step on in
Welcome to our world
We're all suckers for pretty girls
Just lay back
And let me . . .
If you ain't bein' kissed now
What a waste!

I don't have no guilt, baby,
I don't give a damn
Just give me the chance and
I'll say, "yes ma'am."

Step on in
Welcome to our world
We're all suckers for pretty girls
Just lay back
And let me . . .
If you ain't bein' kissed now
What a waste!

Who are the myst'ry boys, and,
Which one is where?
It's feelin' too good, you
prob'ly don't care.

Who are the myst'ry boys?
You know how to play. Don't just
Want you to come, we
Want you to stay

Step on in
Welcome to our world
We're all suckers for pretty girls
Just lay back
And let me have a taste
If you ain't bein' kissed now
What a waste!


Now he's playing and singing along to Wash You Like a Cat. I'll let
you guess about those lyrics.
