Two nights ago, something happened that I have never experienced before.
My house got appled.
What is this you say? It's when someone throws apples at your house.
I was sitting in my living room reading, after the children were in bed, when suddenly there was a loud "Smack" on my window. I looked over and saw a big wet mark on m window. My first thought was it was a snowball, but there is no snow on the ground. I jumped up and ran outside to yell at the kids doing it, but they were gone before I got outside.
They have a word here for these children running around in adult bodies obvious products of their upbringing by parents who themselves are not worth public consumption. They are called NEDs, which stands for Non Educated Delinquent, and they have a uniform.
A tracksuit and baseball cap with headphones draped around their necks. It's usually a white track suit.
I myself have never owned a track suit, but I bought a couple for Isaac when he was a baby. I saw them on sale at Wal-Mart in America and bought them before we moved over here. There was a really cute yellow and blue one that came with a little racing car t-shirt, and a red and blue one that had a baseball t shirt. Once I moved over here Paul would get annoyed when I would dress Isaac in them, saying people here don't wear track suits unless you're a NED. It took me a while but now... but when I look around... I see them everywhere, and two nights ago they were outside my window, throwing apples at my house.
Two years ago I met the love of my life, my soul mate, my other half, my complete opposite. I'm American, he is Scottish, I am a devoted Christian, Paul is an athiest, I'm a coffee drinker, he likes Tea, He doesn't believe man has landed on the moon, I don't even have a response for that one. I am 27, he is 40, and he challenges me in every way possible, to be the best person I know how to be. Our lives have been turned upside down by each other...Lets see how this turns out, shall we??
