You know how people will walk up to you trying sell something and they say "You haven't done such and such till you've done it our way!" Well apparently my parents were thinking something along the lines of "You haven't been to Disney World till you've been nine times in two years." You say "What?" "You've got to be joking." "Give me a break."
Well folks I'm here to you no I'm not joking. We really have been to Disney World nine times in two years, and a couple more after that, but who's counting? We've even been to Universal Studios. And guess what? We're going again this summer! Right about now you're probably thinking "They must either just really like Disney World, or they're bonkers!" It's probably a little touch of both, but more probably because of Daddy's continuing dental education courses that he takes down there. All dentist, and probably doctors for that matter, are required to take continuing education courses. They have to have so many hours a year or so. It just so happens that Dad's favorite course to take just keeps getting held in Orlando. Since Daddy doesn't like to travel by himself, and there's nothing that tops Disney World in Orlando (Trust me we know)... Well you get the idea.
Every time we've been we've noticed different ethnic groups that just seem to swarm. About two times it was predominantly Asians. They took pictures of everything! We watched this older couple eating lunch. The man picked up his hot dog and posed with his mouth open while his wife took a picture, than he did the same thing with a french fry. Than he took the camera and proceeded to do the same thing for his wife and her hot dog. We laughed about it, and than wondered what we'd look like in their country with their food.
Than there were the Hispanics. They were loud! We thought we'd blend in and speak Spanish. Ha! That lasted about thirty minutes as our very limited vocabulary wore out quickly. Mom was pleased when that happened. (She hates when we do that.) Besides Ben and Mom were completely left out, the poor white dears.
So we've got Asians, Hispanics, Aussies, Indians (Who I think are just plain beautiful), and British. The Brits were fun. Everyone could imitate an accent and did for hours at a time. Even Ben and Katie, now that was hilarious. For some reason they thought sticking your nose in the air was a part of the production. I could have watched and listened to those two all day. It was at this time that I discovered I could pass for both a GAP employee, and a Brittan. ( I think it might have had something to do with the T-shirt I was wearing.)
This woman walked up behind me as I was having a conversation with Katie using my accent, and asked me if I had seen her little girl's pink sunglasses. Of course I couldn't just suddenly drop my accent, she might think I was making fun of her or something. So I turned around and said with a straight face "Nooo, I don't believe I have. I'm truly sorry." She said something like that's quite alright and left the store. I was thinking something along the lines of Hallelujah! Than a man asked me if I worked there, and another person asked me if I carried a size four in a pair of a certain pair of jeans. Crazy!
I wonder what ethnic group we'll encounter this time...Hmmm......~Louly
