Extraordinary Onion

Mason :Hey Justin, how do you peel an onion? (we're sitting at the dinner table, not eating onions, and Mason asks his brother this question just out of the blue.)

Justin: first you chop, chop chop then you dice it and cut it in half, then you cut it in half some more, then you really just "fwap" it up. Try not to cry though while you are cutting it up.

Mason: Why do you cry? Is it because you cut yourself?

JUstin: No, onions just make you cry when you cut them. ( I don't think he has ever cut up an onion, so I am curious where he gets his info from).

Mom: Hey Justin, how do you know so much about onion cutting? Were you a chef in your last life?

Justin: No, I'm just extraordinary.

Mom: OH, well that makes sense then.
