The Vent

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

okay guys, what should I do?

Some Chinese lady keeps calling my house, she doesn't speak English. She's called like 5 times now, all afternoon. An hour will go by, she'll call again. Half an hour more, then again. I feel so bad cause I can't help her.

Little known fact: Marie Antoinette really said "Let them eat fruitcake." Another little known fact: I am quite often full of b.s.

Fruitcake. That's probably why they starved. I wouldn't eat it either.

Oh no... no dishing on fruitcake.. my mum makes a SUPER dark fruit cake, all moist and full of cherries and such.. mmmmmm

She makes a light fruit cake too but i think it's ####### (DON"T TELL HER!!!)

With enough rum anything is palatable. Just kidding, your Mom's fruitcake sounds wonderful. I have had some fruitcake that was pretty good in the past. (stop looking at me like I'm a monster )

tee hee... you crack me up! It's actually called "war cake"- i guess a post -WW2 recipe that included a whole lot of molasses as sugar was to dear at that time.. It's been used by my grandmother since that time, and was passed down.. i'll have to swindle the recipe out of my mum one of these days.. thankfully mum mailed me mine this year mmmmmm

I have heard that really good fruitcake can be good --- as in moist and not so hard you need a chain saw to cut through it --- but I really do not like any kind of dried fruits at all because the texture of them just makes me gag. Even raisins.

Yell som, som, som into the phone and hang up. I'm just kidding, that's the Cantonese word for death. Boy are you in a jam. Does anyone speak Cantonese? Maybe someone in the Chinese forum, might be more help. Try saying no or something. If there was a Cantonese voice board online you could try that but I haven't seen one so I guess you're stuck if you don't have call display or screening. I feel bad that I couldn't be more help to you.

Is that what those things are?

Thanks IR...It's sad. She sounds so upset on the other end. She lets out a big sigh, says something, and sighs again. She has a worried sound to her voice. She knows she keeps calling the same wrong number.

Oh well. it's been 1/2 an hour since she called. I hope she's found the right number.

This reminds me of my old boss.. he used to put on the "fake" accent and terrorize our admin staff.. trying to "speak" english in a very thick Chinese accent. . it was aweful.. and whenever I caught him i bawled him out.. the girls would almost be crying on the other end, trying to be helpful, but he was relentless !!

<---is Chinese, speaks Cantonese.

I totally used to do the fake accent at work. Not because it was funny, but because I used to get customers who thought I didn't speak English or would ask me "OMG WHAR U LERN GUD ENGRISH".

...okay, I also watch a lot of Russell Peters.
