Je t’aime, me neither
To mark this freezing Valentine’s Day, I thought I would offer you the
Top ten things that act as daily reminders that you are sharing your life with a true anglo
(that is, an english-canadian man submerged in a sea of francophones)
# 10 He thinks you are cute and exotic even when you swear.
# 9 He dated every anglo girl in town or closely knows somebody who dated them.
# 8 You hear him whisper the words « devil talk » every time you’re chatting on the phone with a member of your family.
# 7 You find yourself saying strange things like « Baby, we only have dep wine left ».
# 6 You see him turn red like the canadian flag when somebody says that canadians are just americans with a funny accent.
# 5 He didn’t watch La Vie la vie, even though he’s a young urban professional who lives on the Plateau.
# 4 He’s never been to a cabane � sucre and he’s never heard of drinking maple water straight from the bucket hanging from a tree.
# 3 He doesn’t know who Daniel B�langer or St�phane Bourguignon are and you have to explain to him the title of this post (Je t’aime, me neither).
# 2 No matter how good his French may get over time, he will never, ever understand a word of what Louis-Jos� Houde says.
And the number one reminder that you are sharing your life with a true anglo:
# 1 You wake up one morning and you find this box of Kleenex in his bathroom…
Awwwwh, but nothing beats them canadian boys, hey?
