Conversations with Gracie



Regarding a technical shirt I was wearing yesterday: "Wool?" sucks lip and scowls. "You're going to get a rash."

Regarding taking a walk around Boulevard Lake with Marjie: "Around the LAKE?" sucks lip and scowls. "You're lucky somebody didn't jump you."

Regarding mailing two rifles to Didi: "Guns?" sucks lip and scowls. "The RCMP are going to throw you both in jail."

Regarding a tentative spring trip to Serbia: "Serbia?" sucks lip and scowls. "You do realize that they're all crazy over there.  They kill foreigners for no reason.  Crazy Muslims."

Regarding an unusually high water bill: "$205?" sucks lip and scowls.  "Those guys are crooks.  Or your neighbour is stealing your water."

Regarding a trip to the border to pick up a package: "You went down there again?" sucks lip and scowls.  "One of these days they're going to arrest you because you're back and forth from there too much."
