Cooking With Dragon And Lucy

Jul 20, 2006 13:32

Teaching Eng-a-lish-ee to foreigners is odd work. You might, for example, find yourself going "What is it? It is a toy car." 30 times a day for 5 days in the mornings, and in the afternoons teaching another group of litlets the difference between a gerund and a continuous tense verb ( Read more... )

Ag madam... they really do come up with ridiculous things to fill your time. You should probably be grateful, since the traffic that you would otherwise be playing in is, as you say, treacherous. Perhaps a weekly 'Bold' recap would be helpful to the Taiwaneses?

But, you stingy bitch, if they should ever require a cleaning course, don't even think about dragging me along to demonstrate, because a) you know I can't clean worth a damn, and 2) I'll be too busy testing the new massage chair I bought with money I stole from your purse and d) I'll spit in your papaya milk.

Love,
Mavis

Mavis, go back to Bapetikosweti, your people need you. Foolish servant, I wouldn't ask you to demo anything, not even how much Ricoffy you've stolen out the Ricoffy jar, or how you've replaced the Cremora with cake flour.
And Mavis...a) I've employed a Phillipino and b) I spit in your massage chair, anc c) that papaya milk WAS your Christmas bonus pansella. Sorry for you...

You're too smart for me, truly. That's why you're the madam and I'm the ex-maid.

I hope you're happy with your Filipino, and all the extra Ricoffy you'll now have in your cupboard.

But remember: no-one will ever be able to forget to tape Days for you quite like I did.

My Filipino is lovely. She cleans like nobody's business.
It's true about the taping of my soapies. She does do it - but she does it IN CHINESE, which presents a problem, when Stefano turns Marlena into a serial killer so she can kill of his mortal enemies (ie half of Salem) who just happen to be her friends and family. Sigh, stuff gets a little lost in the translation. Still, being a fickle madam, no doubt I'll miss your cheeky attitude and bad body odour soon enough and will have to re-hire you for a week or so till you start to annoy the crepes out of the master again.

You give me hope again... I'm sure its just so that you can snatch it away in short order. But I appreciate the hope nonetheless, however fleeting it may be.

The hope I so cruelly offer you is as fleeting as a wet woman's blouse from PEP blowing on the washing line on a blustery day.
