What I actually wrote on the note to my crush

  • What I actually wrote on the note to my crush was "Meet you on Saturdsday". Little did I know that she would
  • -n't live past Friday. My crush was an explosively feminine version of
  • George Lopez. She was Hispanic and had no neck, but she had a thing for bathing in hydrangea juice just to prove how ladylike she was. Still, I was strangely attracted to her and I
  • kicked myself again for not paying attention in my high school Spanish class. Now I had no way to ask her out except by gesturing. I smiled, pointed to her, then pointed to me.
  • "Te quieres casar conmigo?" she said excitedly. "Mañana te presento a mis padres y después podemos discutir los detalles". I nodded, pretty sure we were going on a date.
  • But in this rural corner of Chile, a kiss was as good as an engagement and when Marias father turned up for our "date" with a Padre and a posse of in-laws I learned spanish pronto
  • with the help of Rosetta Stone. My accent was forced, and my words were a crude, broken spanglish at best. Maria wanted a fancy honeymoon, so I tried out for a testimonial spot
  • On the shopping channel.
  • It was the gondolier. With the deluxe Veg-O-Matic.
  • Yes.. the gondolier in the study with the Veg-O-Matic! I rest my case.

    Balloon ride honeymoon turns out to be a mistake.

    Yes. Now I focus on new stories where its easier to create a better sentence or two. The old stories were good practise.
