Oh man I am going to have soooo much fun with this.
Sorry, is that insulting?
Can I apologize for breathing?
What about as we pass a stranger on the street can I say, "I'm sorry for that fart" ?
the general rule of thumb is that if someone runs into you, you say sorry. You know, for being in their way |

OK but what if it's my noxious gasiness that bumps into them?

Yeah I think I am going to try and work in as many stereotypes as possible. All while wearing a red white and blue crown that has sparklers going off.
I went to Toronto when I was 6ish but I only remember being up in some restaurant up high that spins. I've been to Windsor many times. Also Montreal with my hubby.
So really all of this stuff is just about messing with you. |

| I figured it was the tower but wasn't sure. No idea what else we did while we were there, maybe I'll ask my mom. But clearly I need to do it again since I don't remember. I'm pretty sure we didn't do a milkbag field trip. |

Toronto lesson #1. No one calls it the tower :)
Well Annie pants, you know there will be a milkbag field trip this time! The excitment keeps you up at night, doesnt it? Are there any other ridiculous Canadian things that I need to show you that Ive been mocked aboooooot over the years?

| Will we see any of those weird rock figures that no one knows about outside of Canada? If not can we build one out of sugar packets or pieces of curd from the poutine? |

Inukshuks.
Those are one thing you shouldnt actually mock. They are actually of cultural signifigance. And you will likely see them if you go in any souviner shop. |

Inukshuks, I have never heard of those (though I do not know that much about Canada :S ). Is it something to do with religion or whomever founded Canada?! Sorry if I seem a little stupid I am just curious... |
