"Hello, can I have a dozen of sugar glazed doughnuts and two cups of black coffee?"
"Ah, yeah sure. I'll prepare the doughnuts but you have to go to Zojee for the coffee."
"Is your husband the one who's hysterically laughing there?"
"What did you say, sir?"
"Your husband--"
"He's not my husband..." Lara said, embarrassed with herself. She turned only to see him on the floor clutching his stomach and laughing.
"Why does he think you're my husband?" she whispered to him in anger.
He shrugged. "I dunno."
"Sir?" she turned back to the customer. "What does Zojee mean?"
"Your husband in Arabic."
