cut short, mother calls

5 little ducks went out one day

over the hills and far away

mother duck said 'quack quack quack quack'

but only 4 little ducks came back again...

this is wat is in my head right now...over and over and over again

some of the other things been in my head for the last couple of days include the evil but comical laugh of damon wayans [sp?] in the movie 'majoy payne', the police academy theme song and the song from primary skool year 6; sinconstipation...or atleast, i think that's wat it's called..

i just remember the tune and made up the words for 2 lines...that i sang over and over and over again yesterday

at the wedding btw

sinconstipation...acrosss the nation...

except i think across the nation is right....

yup i worked outside last nite

first in the afternoon me and another waiter worked in the garden for the ceremony part where we just served soft drinks and finger food

ppl were itching for some alchohol

but all we could give was colld soft drink on a glum windy afternoon

but everyone appreciated the warm finger food ^_________^

and then after that i came in to the reception to find everyone in chaos

the wedding, like usual, had been planned down to the seating arrangements but even then, somehow, everything stuffed up

the table numbers were wrong, the number of tables were off, and people were confused as to where to sit

so, the waiters were in a flurry to bring out more tables, chairs and grabbing the settings from one table and transferred to another table on the other side of the room

i, having just come in, found it hard to keep up with which tables i waas supposed to pack up and move and the tables i was to set up

in the end it was ok

i had two kids tables

which turned out better than i thought it would

the kids would run around and muck around butthey always came back to eat

one table was of the boys and another was for the girls

the boys were the coolest

...not in a pedophile way

they were super cute and would put their hands up and yell 'excuse me!' to get my attention and ask me wat was next or wen the dessert was coming of even just to tell me that they didn't want to eat the rest of their share so i could pack it up..

it was good

the ones in the hard to reach corner handed me their bowls so i didn't haveto go squishing into cramped spots

and since it was hard to count exactly how many kids were out there i first brought out serves for 10 each table and slowly reduced the number till less servings were left untouched, although alot of the time, if there were left overs i would offer to the boys the left overs and they would gasp with excitement and grab it....
