A few firsts and then a quick rant.
Dear Son,
we had our first bath together last Friday and on Sunday you went swimming with me for the first time. You’ve been swimming with your mother, but this was the first time that I came with you two.
Jamesy P is in the charts with Nookie. This is an old song for you as you first heard it last February in Trinidad when you were still in the womb. Hearing it on the radio isn’t quite the same as the sound system you followed around Port of Spain or the ones that drove past when we watched from Tragarete Road.
Hopefully we’ll be out in Trinidad for carnival on the 19th and 20th February 2007. 20th February 2007 will be Shrove Tuesday. The French name for Shrove Tuesday is “Fat Tuesday” or Mardi Gras. The next time your hear someone talking about having a “Mardi Gras” and it’s not on Shrove Tuesday, point out that they are an idiot and then explain why.
