And the saga continues...

We were on our way to buy shoes for the kids yesterday when we passed the scene of our earlier cake-gobbling escapade. I was kind of sinking down in the passenger seat, trying to look inconspicuous when M looks out the window at the innocent coffee drinkers on the terrace and says:

"Hey! Isn't that the same customer who was there yesterday? Ha ha, he must not have anything better to do than bend the ear of every other customer out there!"

And then he laughed: "Hey, he must recognize us because he's waving! People are so friendly here!"

And M leans out the window and waves back cheerfully as we drive past.

It was only about 50 meters down the road that he realized that we were driving the wrong-way down a one-way street and that the chatty customer was trying to warn us and get us to turn around!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don't think we'll be able to go back to that town for a while....

Maybe you could all somehow modify your appearances and start over??? Nah...then the townspeople would have no one to amuse them anymore.

I've thought of that, but seeing our track record so far I doubt our follies will end here.

So everyone will probably just think that new crazy people have moved in to replace the old ones... ;-)
