theladyroseMy old French teacher is engaged! I'm starting to feel...old. And Kerstin sent me a horrendously long Kerstin-like e-mail, no surprise. Oy vey.
In Kerstin's words:
"Oh yes, and Ms. Bordet is engaged! She came over to Mdm. (my insertion: smelly perfume; sorry, this is the nickname that Rekha and I share for her! But she's quite nice, and she's laid off on the perfume lately) during my lessons and starting talking. Apparently it’s very American to have the whole ‘nicecandlelitdinnersurpriseproposalacceptanceringarrangemarriage’ deal. You talk about getting married and…get married. It is kind of American though, while Europe perches atop Stonehenge coyly sipping tea we put on our war paint and feathers and howl around the fire and indulge in other such cheerful barbarisms."
I'm definitely happy for AB; I'm sure that she'll be really happy living with him. I wonder when they're actually getting married. I'm pretty sure that the man in question is her longtime boyfriend, Ram. Baaah. And he's Canadian. Baaah.
Why are all of the younger teachers suddenly marrying and having kids (if they're female) or their wives are having kids (if they're male)? Maybe the admin has been doing funny things to the water in the cafeteria again...
I'm starting to sound like a little old gossiping lady who bakes good cookies and swaps gardening tips with her neighbors. I know of at least two other people who claim that they will share my fate with me so that we can set up a community of gossiping little old ladies. You know who you are
