larph one another

I've been helping to host a youth group for the past week here in Vancouver for some urban outreach exposure.
They're all originally from themiddleofnowhere Saskatchewan, and so far seem to be wonderfully friendly people.

As part of their exposure, we send them to help in various drop-ins and also take them to a variety of ethnic restaurants.
We already had them do Indian and Ethiopian (both using only their hands to eat), and lunchtime today the lucky blighters had Ryan and myself whisk them off for Korean/Japanese.

So we turn up at the restaurant.
Ryan: "Hi there, we have a reservation for 11:30 under Ralph.:
Rest: "Wrath? No... no Wrath."
Ryan: "Yeah, should be in there... Ralph."
Rest: "Not here. Not here..."
Ryan: "No Ralph? R-A-L-P-H?"
Rest: "Oh! Larph! Come in!"
Ryan: "Yes! Larph! Larph! Larph!"

Other amusing moments included them tackle sushi for the first time. And man did the leader get a taste for wasabi.
I thought for sure that I'd see someone pass out under the influence of wasabi. Didn't happen, unfortunately.
