Goodbye Summer

I apologize for the lack of posts over the summer. To make up for it, I'm going to summarize the highlights of my summer...basically anything I would have blogged about but didn't.

• The funniest moment of the summer is a tie:
  - My boss ordered 3000 of these gelato-sized spoons for our ice cream, and was SO disappointed at how small they were, but we figured they'd at least be ok for kids. How very wrong we were. The first of these tiny spoons we gave out was to these 2 kids, and the one little girl, who was about 6, said "UGH, what a LITTLE spoon!!" It was hilarious. I couldn't help my self from laughing (so hard I had tears in my eyes) in front of the customers.
  - Amanda telling a joke at bingo: "What did the hamburger name his daughter?"
  *Silence in bingo hall*
  Barb (one of the nice bingo ladies): "Relish."
  HOLY FUNNY BATMAN. The answer is, of course, Patty.
• Best inside joke of the summer: Calling Spencer "Calvin" and me thinking it was cuz of his underwear....and then Spencer & Yvonne suggesting names for me after MY underwear. Spencer suggested "Victoria" (after the obvious Victoria's Secret), Yvonne suggested "Edna" (after...what? where the heck did Edna come from?)...
  
• Most unpleasant experience: Upon lifting the box of eggs we use for the kitchen (how many eggs are there in this box? I'm going to say like. 300? It's a lot, anyways.), the bottom (being sopping wet) is no longer structurally sound...Thus, the box gives way and the bottom row of eggs falls on my shorts/ground. Yes, 20 broken eggs splattered all over your shorts and the ground is not fun. Especially when you're the only one in the store and you're left supporting the box with egg dripping down your leg, trying to save as many eggs as possible. Fun.
  
• Most asked (and thus most annoying) question in the store: "Are those REAL?", pointing to the WAX CANDLE sundae and float. At the end of the summer I decided that the next person who asked that, I was going to say "Yes, would you like to try some?" But no one asked me.
  
• Most awesome joke-telling kid: The one who told us "WhatIsASnailASnailIsABoogerInACrashHelmet", all in one sentence and all in one breath. Um, I'm sorry, what?
• Biggest disappointment of the summer: Only seeing the one guitar boy, and the guitar boys not playing at all at the campfire! Letdown.
  
• Andddd last but not least, my biggest pet peeve of the summer: When people would talk amongst themselves about what flavour of ice cream they want, and then just stand there, NOT LOOKING AT ME, and never ordering the ice cream. Sometimes I'd be like "So you'd like the Banana Fudge?" and sometimes I just stood there, because it's like, um, ORDER FROM ME. GAH.

4 summers working at SHP...and no more. I will miss my summers at the cottage!
