I have a horrible confession to make. In fact, it’s so bad, you might just drop me from your blogroll. I know! That would be traigic. But hang on and give me a chance to explain myself.
See, it’s newly summer here in the Maritimes. The weather can change at any given moment. Even knowing that, I set off across the province with one pair of sandals. That’s why last Sunday my feet were cold, what with the rain and single digit overnight temps. And yes, I *am* sorry in retrospect that I stole Ron’s extra pair of socks, and I honestly didn’t think I would really go out in public when I put my sandals on over top.
It was around about then I made a horrible realization. My feet were exceptionally comfortable. Covered, yet somehow cool.
I know, I know. Socks and sandals. In public. And I *liked* it and kept on doing it.
I am so ashamed.
Were they dark socks, and did you pull them up as far as they could go? Only then can you properly claim “old”.
How far behind you do your kids stay? When I wear something that’s not fashion appropriate, mine are usually no closer than cell phone range. I’ve had them demand to take a separate car before, because I wore an “Iron Maiden” t-shirt.
Were they fun socks?
You and Sarah need to see this article: Presidential Crocs. The column was also carried in my local newspaper, without the photo. I liked it better that way.
Also, the term “single digits” does not mean for me what it means for you. Google helped me adjust. Below 50 F is still cold for summer, even in the Great White North.
My 9 F degrees is your -12 C, which would really be a summer shocker.
You guys are killin’ me…
, it got down to 9 C that night and we hadn’t turned on the heat because the rest of my little family were all born in a barn and like sleeping in cold air.
1. They were grey socks and I was thankfully wearing pants.
2. The bigger kids are within hollering or visual distance, but with an air of “we don’t know these people”.
3. Meaghan cried at that picture. *shudders* Emma refused to look.
4. Oh sorry
Hilarious!!! I can’t believe he wears socks with the Presidential seal on them!!! I wonder about his boxers . . .
That picture is just so sad. Even sadder is the video I saw where this guy was asking Americans questions about Canada, and President Bush was very happy that Prime Minister Jacques Poutine (Yes, Poutine) was supporting his candidacy. I just shuddered.
I saw that Rick Mercer Across America show, and I thought it was hilarious!
He was tricking everyone with that poutine line, even at ivy league schools.
I am just glad we finally got rid of Cretien who couldn’t pronounce ANYTHING right.
I thought the funniest part of that Mercer show was the Peter Mansbridge part.
The crocs on the President made me laugh – almost makes the crocs respectable.
oh the sacralidge(spelling on that one) you remind me of my father..haha.
as for rick mercer. he rocks.
