Snapshots Of A Roadtrip
“Oh, look! Another Greek place: ‘Athena’s Dessert By The Sea.’”
“Umm…”
“Oh, wait. ‘Athena’s Desert Day Spa.’”
“I’m sure they would sever you dessert by the sea if you asked nicely.”

On the phone with our doggy day care, where Iggy has been apparently being a little too friendly with the other dogs.
“He’s doing well, and he’s so good-natured, but we’re really working with him to keep him from humping the other dogs.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, once he gets going, he just doesn’t seem to want to stop.”

Driving out of Abbotsford on Highway 1 we see an electronic flashing traffic billboard that reads:
Seat belts save lives. And then:
Are you buckled up?
“Even the SIGNS in Canada are nice!”
“I was just thinking the same thing!”
“It’s definitely a different tone than the U.S.’ CLICK IT OR TICKET! campaign.”
“Are you buckled up? Would you like a bottle of water? Or maybe a back massage? What’s your favorite color? Can I make you some spaghetti? How’s your mother?”
Fantastic. I particularly love the Canadian sign one. Isn’t that so awesome? Their loving, gentle way? Maybe they can bottle some and send it on down!
Why yes, I would like a massage! ;-)
Oh, Iggy, you’re growing up too fast! (I’m assuming you’ve had THE TALK with him, right?)
Also, I’m trying to remember what the sign said, but we were on the way to Bill’s parents house and there was a HILARIOUS buckle up sign. I shall ask him and report back.
Girl… I love your little dialogues. You crack me up. And Canada loves you too :)
Canada ROCKS. MOVE HERE!!
Have you seen Canadian Bacon? Where Dan Akroyd pulls the truck over and tickets them for not having graffiti in French and English? Classic movie about Canada–
That’s so true! We’re so mean on our signs! Like calling people losers!
Oh wait, that’s for people who drink and drive. I guess they are kind of losers.
