I was in time for the 401, at least. Ended up JUST missing a couple of 25 buses at King Edward, but whatever. I was prepared to walk from 25th to 15th because of Car-Free Day, and there were way too many people walking slowly in front of me. There was even someone at the station who stopped RIGHT IN FRONT of me to check her map! Geez!<br /><br />When I finally got to the restaurant after weaving my way through the crowd of people, Mom said that she'd called me six times. Come on - what's so important that she had to do that?! We couldn't even get a table because Jon and his crew weren't there yet, which is very unusual for Kwong Chow. Since when did they turn into a white place?! Mom just commandeered an empty table because it looked big enough and clean. Dad told her to quit being so impatient, of course. Talked to Ayler, Hiero, Harmony, Beckett, and Jon about Harmony wanting me to help out with the kids in the summer (it IS true!), school ending soon on the 19th, Hiero's origami book, the Oratorio Society concert last week and seeing Auntie Catherine there, Tsim Chai, Holly and Peter buying a house, Myles and Brittney also buying a house, screen time (I know what to do even if I don't follow it...), Alliance and SERVANTS work, ferries, and the Massey Tunnel.<br /><br />We also discussed Saltspring Island, going to Seattle soon, Eric Ho and the 12 Kings Pub hangout for the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors, Eric Ho taking sports losses pretty personally, what takeout was, Mom trying to tell us again about Maria Tam the missionary (we ALL heard about that last week...), and Mom attempting to give Jon $50 to pay for the meal. Nope, that definitely was not happening! Then we walked to Jon's place where Mom and Dad had parked, and gave Jon some stuff. Hiero enthusiastically showed me his origami book and his store of old printer paper to make new creations - he showed me a boat and then I had to leave, so I said he could show me more stuff next time. Then Mom and Dad noticed someone they knew, so we had to spend at least ten minutes talking to them. Turned out to be Jon's neighbors from Prince George and their baby - one of them is named Jill. So after that delay, I finally got home at 9:30 on a 407. Apparently, my parents didn't automatically plan on driving me home - okay, then.<br /><br /><br />Random stuff from Mom and Dad: Lipton chicken noodle soup which expires in 2020, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Gentlemen-Players-Novel-Joanne-Harris/dp/0060559144/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr="><i>Gentlemen and Players: A Novel</i> (Joanne Harris)</a>, a tiny tube of macadamia nut shampoo, a pair of random black socks, and a tiny green shampoo bottle.<br /><br /><br />From Janina: Ladies, you can tell a lot about a man by how dogs react to him. For example, if the police K9 is biting him, he may not be ideal. <br /><br /><img src="https://i.imgur.com/scbKBqu.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=glowing_dragon&ditemid=6242464" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
