Half DelightedNess
Part 2
Introducing My Dear Friend Katie
My friend (and neighbour) Katie is entirely uninformed about Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. And it's funny.
Katie: (Peaks her head through the door) Vanessa!
Vanessa: Katie!
K: Guess what?! There's a Starbucks two blocks away!
V: Shut up!!
K: That's what I said!
V: Wanna go right now?
K: Yes!
V: What's the weather like?
K: AAHH! It's FREEZING!
V: (who had been looking away, turns her head slowly to face Katie and gives her a "get real" look) And by 'freezing', you mean, 'not sweltering?'
K: (laughs) No, it really is cold out.
FYI, it was not cold out. I walked there in a tank top. Katie wore a long-sleeved shirt.
----------------
During the walk, I mentioned something about the Saskatchewan prairies.
Katie: (sung goofily) The hills are alive!!!
Vanessa: What are you doing?
K: Well, every time you mention Saskatchewan, I picture the beautiful rolling hills, and it makes me think of that song.
V: (turns and gives same look as described in first story) Uh... Katie... There's no hills on the prairies.
K: Yes there are.
V: (LMAO) No. There's not. Trust me.
---------------
I have no idea if these stories are things you had to be present for to find funny, but I sincerely wish you could all meet Katie, cuz she's an uninformed blast! But at least she knows she doesn't know anything about Canada. I told her I used to take the PDTS to school. You know, the Public Dogsled Transportation System. She believed me.
Yesterday she asked me if our traffic lights are the same three colours. I said yes, but in Canada, red means go and green means stop. She didn't believe me. Oooohhh!!! The girl's catching on.
I love Katie. She's fantastic.

P.S. I'm playing at Common Grounds tonight:
*LM ("Miss You")
*Alone (new song)
*Babe of Mine
*Coffee Shop Song (with two djembe players, plus MJ on harmonies and shaking an egg!)
