*** feeling very "bloggy" today... so today i will have two entries! :) ***
I know that I don't have the best grammar. I am sure some of you know that my tenses are always all messed up. Yet, I still managed to correct people when I hear bad grammar. I know... I am annoying like that. Anyway, here is the little exchange that I have with the customs officer when I was entering Canada:
Officer: So... why are you coming to Canada today?
Me: My grandmother just passed away so I am here to attend her funeral this afternoon.
O: So that means that you have other relatives, right?
M: Yeah, I have a few uncles and aunts here.
O: This means that your grandmother lives with your uncles or aunts?
M: Well, she passed away already, so yeah, she lived with them when she was alive.
Awkward pause. (At this point, I was thinking, crap, crap, crap, why can't I keep my month shut.)
O: Yeah, that would make sense huh. So she lived with them.
M: Eh.. yeah... I am here for the funeral that's why it's a short trip.
At this point, she prompty stamped my passport and told me to move along.
...yeah... I am pretty obnoxious, huh? :-P

obnoxious is good... although everyone at work is rebelling against me today... seems that obnoxious is not always appreciated...
