CP #5 Jordan Quaffing Lattes a second time

Husain and I while at Starbucks the other day had a "back in the day" type of chat. We reminisced about our childhood and even though we were supposed to be speaking English he taught me a few new Arabic phrases. We then spoke about the semi-holidays that we celebrate in America. In particular we spoke about "Black Friday". I told him that it is the biggest shopping day of the year and how people camp outside of stores on Thanksgiving just to get good deals. He was very interested in this and asked where in Tallahassee they have these sales. He is looking for a new TAB and will wait until Black Friday. I rode my bike to the Starbucks and he asked me how much it cost. He was genuinely surprised when I said $500. This is how we entered into a conversation about seedy pawn shops. Anything can be bought their but it might be stolen I said. We departed from Starbucks and talked about words in English that have many different definitions. I will not mention any due to their unsavoryness.
