le sens d'orientation, je n'ai pas!
cher e-diary (hehe, corny...),
Koko will be turning 15 tomorrow. As a gift, my husband suggested that I take him to Parinor and let him choose what he wants, but of course with a certain amount limit (nous somme pas riche, non?). I said "non, je ne peux pas car je ne connais pas trop la route.", never gone there alone. The first and the last time I was there was during my x-mas shopping (3 years ago) with his cousin and it wasn't me who was driving. Although Parinor is only about 15 kms. from where we live, getting there seems to be a bit complicated for me. I'd say, I have good driving skills but I don't have a good sense of direction, voilà le problem. So I said, "no I don't wanna get lost and I have not much gas in my car!" But he insisted and even 'drew' a map.
Since it's not very easy to go shopping with Cléms, hubby insisted that I go alone with Koko and he'll stay home with her. We couldn't do it the other way around since he's got no car license, he's been driving a moto for fifteen years now and he said he's been and still so busy to acquire a car license (bien sûr, il a juste peur de le rater, hehe, ssshh!)
Voilà ... despite heavy rains and fear of getting lost, Koko and I found ourselves on the route national 17 heading north. C'est juste qu'il y avait un gros problème, the map didn't help us as most part of the highway is under construction! Et merde alors! Il y avait beaucoup de detours! So, what do you expect? It took us an hour and a half to get to the centre commercial for we got lost! Oh, j'étais super énervée, tu ne peux même pas imaginer!
Ok, on a fait les magasins... acheté ceci, acheté cela... allé mangé au resto chinois (hmmm, c'étais pas mal) but all this time, I was thinking of how to get home, on which way to take. So when it was time to leave, I told Koko to help me read or pay attention to road signs. But another problem came, the parking lot had two exits and there were no panneaux of directions where they'll be heading us. So I had no choice but to take n'importe laquelle car je n'avais pas l'intérêt de dormir dans la centre commercial. So to make this story not too long (as it already is), we again got lost and found ourselves in Paris. Grrrr... Paris is 35 kms. away from our place and my gas wasn't enough. Then ...
Oh, I'm sure you know how this story ended ... am already getting dizzy, got to get some sleep now ...
à demain!
