Dad's Fantasy Teeny-Tiny House
So, this past Sunday on our walk (sorry I'm still harpin' on that), Dad & I walked by the lil house he's been slobberin' abt 4, like, ever. This was rite after he finished tellin' me he & Mom R practical & have plenty saved 4 their retirement. Funny university 4 me didn't come up, eh? Then Dad was all starin' @ this teeny-tiny house & tellin' me how he's "alwayz loved" it. I pted out how tiny it is, & he sed, "Yes, but it's on a huge piece of property! Just imagine the model train layout I cd put back there!" I was all, "Cd U live in a house that small?" & Dad was all, "Sure! It has everything I need!" I was, like, "& Mom?" Dad was, like, "U're rite. I'd need her 2." LOL! Tho Dad's been going on & on abt that st00pid house in his monthly letterz, this was the first time I'd seen which house he actually meant. That house is mad small, peeps! I don't know how he'd even fit Mom's arse in there, let alone him and me. I'm really starting 2 wonder where he planz 2 put me if he gets this place B4 I grad hi-school. & funny thing how, if Mike an' Dee buy the fam house, Mom & Dad will B in close meddling distance, eh?
So, V-day yesterday. The concert Jeremy's dad gave was fun as a way 4 us all 2 get 2gether & have our V-day d8's (otherwise, his music's like the old-fashioned kinda country like "My Pick-up Truck Left Me & My Woman Gave Me the Clap & I Wanna Die"). Afterwards, we went backstage, & Mr. Jones had insults 4 all of us. @ least we cd tell this was just his way & it wasn't like singling NE1 out. & Ger sed sum really cube stuff abt B-ing touched by luv. He got seriously rewarded after, peeps!
BTW, our hockey boyz defeated I C Gens Morts Secondary, 6-3!

April,
Boozhoo (Hello).
The Valentine’s Day evening with your sister did not turn out exactly as I had expected. We spent the time watching The Aristocats on TV and taking turns petting Shiimsa. I thought for a moment your sister was going to invite me to sleep with her and Shiimsa, so we could keep on petting Shiimsa through the night. However, your sister changed her mind and said I should sleep on the chesterfield as usual, so “Shiimsa wouldn’t get any ideas.”
Your sister did read your writings this morning and at first she told me to write to you that if your parents did buy the small house and there was no space for you, then you could live with her in Mtigwaki (Land of Trees). Then she changed her mind and said, “No. Don’t write her that. If April was here, there would be less room for Shiimsa.”
Your sister is at the school now teaching. I may have to give Shiimsa a bath. That red kool-aid is getting all over everything.

April,
Becky and I were talking this morning before she went to school. She may tell you this herself or may have already told you. In any case, there is enough room for you to stay at Becky’s bungalow, if your parents change houses and you need a place to stay.
Marjee has been telling us at the salon about her Valentine’s Day date with that Senegalese guy, Hamidou M'Baye. It sounded very Senegalesish. I think she was very happy to reschedule it from Monday to Tuesday. Sugar came up to me and said, “Well Howard. Don’t be too sad, Marjee is seeing other guys and talking to you about it. You should consider it an inspiration to try harder with her.”

Dearest April flower,
Never fear, my love! If your parents do not have adequate room to house you in the special little Teeny Tiny Train House on the Prairie, we can move into our wedding house early. It is quite spacious, with four bedrooms, a finished basement, a three car garage, et cetera.
Mater says she can evict the current tenants with only 30 days' notice.
Just let me know!

April,
I decided to write so you could wish uncle John and aunt Elly a happy anniversary for me. I saw your Blog entry and it doesn’t look like my aunt and uncle are letting you in on all their plans for you. My mom and dad have talked with your mom and dad about you moving in with them, probably for your grade 11 and 12 years. There is plenty of room for you at the farm, and my mom thinks that she can get you started on learning veterinary medicine with her before you go to University to get your degree. You can get some real hands-on experience with mom. It will help a lot. I know because it is helping me working for the same degree at University right now.
Also, my mom is concerned that your dad hasn’t seen grandpa since July, 2004 and she thinks it is because they had a fight over the idea of retiring before you are 65 when your dad last visited. She thinks if you are living here, your dad might come up to visit more often. Grandpa and grandma are getting old and you have to spend time with them while you still have a chance. When grandpa is dead, you’re going to miss those fart jokes he likes to tell.
Anyway, happy anniversary to your mom and dad. I hope to see you again over the summer.

Dearest April,
I heartily concur with Becky's assessment, although not with her whimsical geographical references. I do not believe in long-distance relationships. Being apart from you last summer was very difficult for me. I am the kind of boy who needs a strong girlfriend around. I do not want to be parted from you, my lady love.

You’re welcome for the tip. I hate it when my parents don’t include me in their plans. I’m a little surprised you wouldn’t want to go, but I guess you would miss your boyfriend you e-mailed over last summer. You are still with the same guy, right? I remember cleaning off that computer screen. He must be hot.
After last summer, I could tell you really, really liked being around the horses. Remember when I took you to the vet hospital in Carman, where I was working last summer before going back to University? You got to watch the “spay" operation, and you seemed very interested in veterinary medicine. It’s still early for you to choose a career, but my impression from last summer was you were definitely considering being a vet.
If your mom and dad mention it, you might want to think about it instead of getting mad at them for not including you. If you do decide to pursue being a vet, you can learn a lot here, which you wouldn’t be able to learn in Milborough.

Dearest April flower,
I am so proud of you for having already picked out not just one career path and course of study, but two. I personally am confused about what I should study in college. I am currently trying to decide between modern dance, music, and women's studies. It is hard to make up my mind, especially since Mater gets mad every time I bring it up.
Since I have decided to be your househusband, though, I am thinking a home ec degree would be the most practical thing. When we go to Guelph, I am thinking of double-majoring in applied human nutrition and child, youth, and family. I can always minor in those other subjects. It is more important that I be prepared to take care of our family. Right now, the only things I know how to cook are celery soup and grapefruit compote.

April,
Because there are only 4 veterinary medicine programs in Canada, they are very difficult to get into. Even with my mom being an alum of Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, I had to apply a few times before I got in. In the interim I spent a few years teaching at the local college. I did my Pre-Veterinary Medicine in Agriculture at the University of Manitoba, close to mom so I could get her to help me if I needed it. She would do the same for you too, if you decided to go to Manitoba.
If you decide to choose veterinary medicine, then you should apply to all 4 universities once you finish your pre-vet degree. The advantage you will have for Western is that by the time you finish high school and get a pre-vet degree, then I and mom can both recommend you as alums of the school. I hate to break it to you, but there is no such thing as a singing veterinary degree in the College of Veterinary Medicine.

April,
Boozhoo (Hello).
It was an interesting afternoon with Shiimsa. Shiimsa did not want a bath (she hates water), but that red koolaid colouring had to go. She gave me several good scratches, but she is back to her normal colour.
When your sister came back from school, she seemed to be of 2 minds. When she saw Shiimsa she said, “Oh I am glad you gave Shiimsa a bath.” Then she said, “You destroyed your Valentine!? How could you?!” Then she said, “Well, it isn’t Valentine’s Day any more, so I guess it’s all right.” Then she said, “You better watch your back, Mountie, or I will be bathing you.” I said, “You want to give me a bath? I like that idea.” Then she said, “I think it would be fun if we took a bath together.” Then she said, “No. That would lead to improper behaviour. We should stay dirty.”
I suggested some snowshoeing during the daylight hours we had before supper, but your sister wanted to watch That Darn Cat instead. I still enjoy spending time with your sister, even if I don’t understand her all the time.

April,
I'm so glad I read those cat psychology books! Shiimsa and I have such a close bond now. I love that we can write these little jokes together that only she and I really understand. She's got such a good sense of humor. That's one of the best surprises about cats. I now know that dogs do not have a sense of humor, because they are not as smart as cats. Shiimsa taught me that.
Wow, it's very exciting that you're planning for your future. I wish I could give you some advice as a big sister. Well, I'll try, even though it is hard to make up my mind exactly what to tell you.
First, about where to go to school. It is hard to know where to tell you to go. Guelph would be good in some ways because it is not far from home. But, on the other hand, it can be good to go off and experience new things. Nipissing University was far away from home. I liked that sometimes, because I could do things without Mom knowing or having too much say in them. But then again, I sometimes get really lonely being away from home.
One thing I do recommend is going to college with some friends you already know from home. It sounds like Becky might not go to college but if you could get Gerald or even Duncan to go with you, that's good. It's hard to meet new people. They tend to disappoint you. In fact, the most important "new people" I met after high school (Eric, Warren) were very disappointing. I recommend sticking with old friends from home, or with trying to make Native friends, who are not disappointing.
It sounds like Gerald wants you to get married during college. That is an interesting possibility. On one hand, you would be "stuck" with a person from Milborough, and I know you want adventure. But, on the other hand, I sometimes wish I had just married Anthony after Grade 13. I would have avoided years of humiliating dateless spinsterhood and of course that whole debacle with Eric. I don't want you to ever have to beat up your boyfriend with a frying pan.
Plus, Gerald seems to worship you and would probably do anything you wanted him to. This is a very underrated quality in a man I think. Anthony felt that way about me but I broke up with him because of distance and a desire to try new things. But the new things I tried (Eric, Warren) were not very good. They did things I didn't want them to do. It has taken me years to find another man who acts the way I want my man to act. Paul is very loyal and attentive. You should recognize how valuable it is to have those qualities in Gerald.
I do not recommend the "living in sin" approach though. That is OK if you do not mind your boyfriend cheating, or if you are gay, or if you have nose piercings and a weird haircut. But it doesn't work well for more traditional people.
Then again, Gerald is kind of annoying. That could be a drawback. But, maybe it is better to have a sometimes annoying husband locked in than to wait to find a perfect one. I think maybe all men are sometimes annoying. Mom is annoyed at Dad a lot. Also, Paul gets on my nerves sometimes. Maybe this is the natural way for men to be.
As for being a vet, that could be good or bad. On one hand, you love animals and it's good to do something you love. Also, it is a nurturing/caretaking profession, just like teaching and counseling and pharmacying and assisting a photographer and running a small children's bookstore and cooking/catering. Those professions are good for women. I have noticed that women with technical or non-nurturing jobs have a hard time getting and staying married. Therese and Connie Poirier, for example. Mrs. Sobinski doesn't have a nuturing job (helps w/ hardware store) and I think maybe this is why she tries to be too nurturing at home. Whereas women with caretaking and nurturing jobs can make even hard marriages work out. Look at Deanna and Mrs. Nichols!
On the other hand, being a vet is very time-consuming and hard. You will not have much time for having kids. This is bad for a woman. Women who spend a lot of time on their careers do not usually have happy marriages and families. Look at Therese for example. And I know you want a marriage and a family. If you want to be a vet anyway, it is very important to consider Gerald's offer to be a househusband again. It is important that a busy spouse has a stay-at-home spouse to pick up the slack and make a nice home life. Sometimes they can get away with having a less driven working spouse to do that, but not always. I think it is harder to make that work the more busy the busy spouse is. And vets are very busy. Again, think about Therese and Anthony.
I do not know how being musical as a vet fits in. I do not know about that talent sort of stuff. My only talent is for teaching. (Oh, and Shiimsa says my other talent is for attracting "weak-minded men." Isn't she a riot?)
Liz
P.S.--Wow, as I read my letter over, it is very pro-Gerald. That is interesting. You should probably try to hang on to that relationship. Have you thought about pre-engagement? What does a locket swap mean? I don't know about all the teenage customs these days!

I had planned on going out with Phil Harmonic tonight, but Becky said I should postpone all those dates until I do the class in Tantric celibacy with Yogi Noseks at the Sadhana Institute she signed me up as a Valentine’s Day gift. She signed up Marjee too, but she is still going out on her date with that really good-looking guy, Beau Dacious. I postponed my dates. I can’t wait for that Tantric celibacy class. Becky has a pile of English homework to do tonight, which she did not want to do. I said, “Either you do the homework or I go out with Phil.” She’s doing the homework, while I lift weights. Neither of us is very happy.

Sorry it took me so long to write in about last night's date with Hamidou M'Baye. He's very cute and attentive, too! At first, I felt a little funny about having the date on Valentine's Day. That's an awful lot of pressure when you're going out with someone for the first time. But it worked out very well.
Hamidou took me to a great Senegalese restaurant in Toronto, Fatou & Fama. We started our meal with Avocat aux Crevettes (avocado stuffed with shrimp). For the entrees, we both had the chicken yassa. After that, we had la salade cote cape vert, which is a salad with chopped eggs. We had a drink called Senegali Sunshine. For dessert, we had the banana glace, and then we had coffee, Dakar demitasse.
After the dinner, we went to a nightclub specializing in "World Beat" music, and they were having a special Senegalese night. The highlights were music by Youssou Ndour, Baaba Maal, and Ismael Lo. We danced to one song after another, and Hamidou taught me some funky African dances. You really have to put your hips and tush into it, and you move your head a lot. He had so much energy, and luckily I did, too!
Uh-oh, I'd better get ready for my date with Beau Dacious--I meet him at Lulu's Tutu in an hour!

Dear Becky,
Mater says that since I look like a young Adonis, and my parents are both from Edmonton, I will probably not be afflicted with the Milborough aging curse, or at least not very badly afflicted. I might retire and start talking about death at age 50, for instance, but I probably won't age and wither as badly as Anthony and Jeremy. They were already showing signs of rapid aging in Grade 9, whereas I am still as babelicious as Hayden Christensen.

I had not planned to write you anymore tonight, but after you called your sister and asked to speak to me personally, I thought I would let you know that I did exercise Shiimsa. She was getting a little flabby from all that tuna in her Valentine’s Day cake.
We took a nice walk through Mtigwaki(Land of Trees) and neither your sister nor I carried Shiimsa the entire way, so Shiimsa would get, what did you call it, the exercism, I think it was. I think your sister liked walking too, but I was not sure. She kept saying things like, “I'm going to scratch you Mountie for making me do this. Oh, isn’t the moon unspeakably beautiful.” I love being with your sister, even when she confuses me.

April,
Please excuse Becky’s comment about how you should marry Gerald for his money. She just finished her English assignment on that Jane Austen book, and she also had to endure a long lecture from her mother on how to land and keep a rich man. I am afraid one of those two or both influenced what she wrote you.
I am not feeling very well at the moment. Dr. McCauley was on the verge of leaving to go clean out his mother’s old house (fool around), and I was walking by Krystle (Becky’s mother) in my Belfrieda Batsize costume (the old lady that Dr. McCauley mistakes for his mother), when I swear Krystle tripped me and I went crashing over the chesterfield. Then she said, “Mom! Mom! Are you hurt? Ted, come quick. I think your mother is injured.” I did have a nasty bruise on my leg. So, Dr. McCauley has been tending to me, and whenever he tries to sneak off, Krystle catches him and says, “Don’t desert your mother. She may die again.” That phrase is a little disconcerting; however, it works on Dr. McCauley. It was after this incident that Becky got the lecture from her mother.
I am afraid the other thing influencing Becky’s mood is her total lack of scheduled singing gigs. Her father, who is also her manager, is totally wrapped up in trying to impregnate Thora, his new “wife.” They come over to Becky’s house every day, so Becky and I can witness the peeing on the stick. It sounds gross, and it is. Becky is determined her father is her manager, but I fear if she goes too long without the musical release of performance, we may see more behaviour that is not what you and I would associate with Becky.
My leg hurts like the devil.

Dear April,
Your sister Elizabeth asked me to post to this blog to help to calm your fears about her cat Shiimsa. I can assure you, I know a great deal about cats, and none of what is happening between them is dangerous or abnormal. In fact, it is all just part of the beautiful and natural process of a first-time cat owner discovering the true nature of felines.
I hope you will come visit Mtigwaki in March after all. We were so looking forward to meeting you!
