Hold your applause

Two weeks and one extended stay after leaving North America America for North America Canada, I decided it was time to return home. This decision was questioned several times by my Canadian counterparts; specifically, YumYummy’s youngest son.

“Did you get a job?” he asked me as I wheeled my suitcase to the door.

“Not yet,” I replied.

“Then why are you leaving?” was his follow up question, coupled with a little bit of judgment.

“Well I probably need to start working a little harder on getting a job,” I advised.

“Why? You can just keep living in our basement,” he kindly offered.

As much as I would love to continue living in the basement of YumYummy, her beau and her kids, I feel is probably in my best interest to actually secure gainful, legal employment…just as soon as I return from my next vacation.

So, for now, please hold your applause.
