Okay, so I have apparently forgotten to tell a couple
stories containing very important background information regarding this trip.
Much of the humor to come depends on this information!
1. My killer Heidi Klum impersonation: prior to our trip, I joined Sony and Deb at the Lockwood's for a rousing night of 31. As everyone knows, my favorite show these days is Project Runway, and whilst playing, I was in full Heidi Klum mode, saying "You're out!" in my best German fashionista accent. Well, little David, being ever so clever, mistook my accent for a British accent (they are so very similar, are they not??), and said, "Girl, why you talking all British?" Classic. So, I have been saying even more so, ever since that night, "You're out! Auf weidersen!" at every moment that I get.
2. As you may or may not know, I am a hummer. And a whistler. It is my musically-inclined nature, I guess. I'm always singing/whistling/humming some sort of jolly tune. Somehow, on one of the first days of our trip, I had the "Baby Elephant Walk" song in my head (if you've seen the episode of The Simpsons when Homer is the baseball mascot, this is the song he dances to) and was whistling/humming it somewhere. Betsi picked up on this, but thought it was the theme song for Sanford and Son, so she starts in with the, "Ya ta da dah!" and a theme song for our trip was born. Since then, I've set this song as my ring tone for my cell phone whenever Deb, Sony, or Betsi call.
