June 2nd: “Take-the-piss-out-of-JulZ” Day

Another struggle at Magdelene Bridge. Jo-Louis and Vero-Andrew showed up right on time for my 2^nd tour of the day (which turned out to be a shit-tour… too many kids in the boat… a lot of self-hires bumping in mine… patience!). So not only was it a bad tour for them, but I was also sad of not being allowed to fool around and say stupid jokes and sing O Soooole miooo!

J'ai donné une visite à une mère américaine et son ti-gars de 8 ans, en fin de journée. Quand j’ai dis “Lady Elizabeth de Clare went through 3 short-lived but wealthy husbands by the age of 27”, elle a rit comme une bonne en disant combien elle aimerait faire ça… Pis son petit gars l’a tellllement descendu en disant: “That’s so superficial, mom… even a half-year old would know that… Money isn’t everything.” J’en croyais pas mes oreilles! J’pouvais pas parler pour un autre 5 minutes.

Today was the “Take-the-piss-out-of-JulZ” Day. I was constantly teased by mobilers AND Scud’s chauffeurs, and I couldn’t help but laugh, which just made it worse. Careful, she bites! At 5pm, I was finally unpacking my boat when someone thought it would be funny to untie it and push it away (without my pole). When I finally managed to paddle back to the side, I was pushed away once more. I felt like crying. I wanted to go home. But I just laughed! We all love each other very much…

Pas de party ce soir! J’ai vérifié mes e-mails à “CB2”, et ça m’a prit tellement de temps que j’ai commandé un “pizza wrap”. Yum…
