Dunc channels.... my dad?
As U mighta guessed, on that day when we were discussing our plans of the future (or lack of plans), Eva had 2 have her turn after Dunc and I had had ours. So, while we walked back 2 the school bldg from the bleachers, I dutifully asked her, "What abt U, Eva?" And Eva decided 2 do the whole "Whoa" thing, too, and went, "Whoa. Future career. That's tuff. I can't give up singing. I'm not planning 2 B a professional singer... but I HAFTA sing! So I guess I'll take, like, general arts an' C where I go from there." I sed, "Yeah... U gotta start sumwhere." Then Duncan was all, "An' who knows! We cd all end up doing sumthing completely different from NEthing we ever imagined!" Then 4 no reason, Eva and I traded places (I had been 2 Dunc's left, w/Eva 2 his rite). And then Dunc sed, "Exciting, hum?" He actually sed "HUM." Just like my DAD does. Y doesn't he just say "Eh"? We R Canadians, after all! NEway, Eva and I got these terrified-gobsmacked looks on our faces and Eva went, "Yeah." And I was like, "Totally."

Duncan,
If you really think you might be special needs, I can help you get evaluated. RP Boire has a great program for special needs!
April, I hope that tomorrow or Saturday you tell everyone about how when you got into the school, I told you about my plans for the future and how lucky you are to have the options that you do. I think I was very comforting!
Love,
Shannon Lake

then u sed we shud nevah mention this again. & i haven’t till now. & then u thot we needed 2 sumthin’ like ur dad wud nevah do & thass wen we…um…ok…i’m not gonna write that up in ur blog.

"kinda sick"? if that's how u describe it when i puke my guts out, yeah, i felt "kinda sick" when that happened.
actually, eva tried 2 do a pun. she thot that wd impress dunc, i guess. when he sed, "hum?" she sed, "what tune wd u like me 2 hum?" then she laffed w/her tung stickin' out. and dunc sed, "u r scaring me, crazee, get away!" then she cried a lil bit.
