Ever been in one of those situations where something happens and you just NEED to immortalize it? Never? Well your life sucks my friend.
I was in one such situation some day earlier this week, can't remember when. It all started when I was at home wondering what I would want to eat that evening. Oh yeah, I shop for like 2, 3 days MAX. I HATE shopping for food. Anyhow, so I decide to jump out quickly and go to the supermarket to pick up a couple things. It is around 8.30 pm.
I put on my iPod and we begin our journey (5 minute walk). As I round the corner leading up to the supermarket I see one of the most disturbing things ever. And I mean in the history of whatever:
*Insert cellphone picture here*
Can you see it? Disturbing eh? Oh no, wait, you can't. Well yeah I know you can't. Because I didn't bring along my cellphone, it was only a short journey and even though I bring my phone EVERYWHERE with me, I just decided to leave it home today. Oh well.
Let me paint a picture with my words. Imagine a middle aged man wearing one of those women's hoodies, but one that stops just above the navel, light pink in colour. And with that a full body spandex suit, except his head was exposed. Add to that a tiny pink hand bag that he tried to keep over his shoulder. And silver ballerina shoes. And what you end up with is a recipe for disaster. Or in my case, a near heart attack. And it just so happened that we were going to the exact same place.
Life in the supermarket literally paused. I was laughing LOUDLY. And my laugh is like a yawn. It's infectious. In the end everyone was laughing. I was saying that maybe he lost a bet or something, but seeing how serious he was about doing his shopping or whatever while constantly walking on his toes, I was thinking to myself that maybe he had lost his mind.
Girls, imagine waking up one day and your father is perfectly normal, and then when you come home from school in the evening you see him prancing around in your ballerina clothes in the street like a fairy. Scary. But funny. To us, not to you.
The only thing I regret in all of this is not having my cellphone with me. Oh well, hopefully God will smile upon me so that him and I cross paths again. I will be ready this time.
I'm out.

ReplyDeleteDude, I done picture myself on the sidewalk infront of Monoprix on the ground crying big tears of laughter. As for you readers out there, the part of the story that my dead cousin Esco has neglected to mention is that directly after purchasing his baquette avec ghey poupon and strawberry shake, said prancing fairly walked straight into the 8:45pm traffic and killed himself.
ReplyDeletelol @ BestYet. Why'd he kill himself? Midlife crisis I suppose.
