A Month in the Life

So I get an e-mail Friday saying that everyone is going ice skating at the local mall that night since our Canadian friend is in town. Now, I don't skate. The nearest ice skating rink to my house when I was growing up was over an hour away. I have only been ice skating once in my life. I was 19 and was being escorted around the rink by an 8-year old and 9-year old. I made it around once before pride set in and I went to sit down! So when I received that e-mail, I automatically thought this is the Canadian's way of getting back at us for making fun of the way they talk. They don't know how to say "pasta" among other things and we have mocked them for the last couple of weeks (or the last however many years we have known the) and so now they are getting revenge by choosing to go ice skating. This just doesn't work with my plan and since ten years later, I still have some pride in me, I was just too tired to go and be made fun of!
