eatting tonsils

Well, this place never ceases to amaze me! I was sitting in the local restaurant having a beer and some goolosh with dumplings. There was this family sitting behind me and I couldn't help overhearing the following (I've translated it into English)

Father: What do you mean you don't want no tonsils? You said you wanted tonsils and you got them!

Honzicek: I don't want them, I don't want no tonsils! I don't like them!

Father: I paid for them tonsils and now you have to have them!

(Ok, I was getting confused here. You can buy tonsils? How do you put them back in?)

Honzicek: But dad, I don't like tonsils!

Father: Those are your tonsils, they've been salted and they're warm, so you are going to eat them and eat them now!

(My eyes most near popped out of my head at this point!! He's going to make that kid eat his tonsils!
Now, I've seen some strange things, but this one tops them all! But I don't want to be no ignorant foreigner, so I just sit there and drink my beer and eat my goolosh sandwiches. They are a bit messy though.)

Honzicek: But dad, I don't want to eat no salted tonsils, I wanted my tonsils without salt!

Father: Well, fine, I'll eat your tonsils and you just drink your coughola and shut up!


I'm just spechless and still don't know what to say.
