Little Valentin

Today was a pretty uneventful day. Everything around town was closed, since it was a Sunday and everything. Kelsey sat inside reading and going through her stuff, while I went outside to goof off with Valentin.

He tried to get me to try out his skateboard, and I kept falling off and landing on my ass. We ended up getting into a huge water-gun fight later, and we both were drenched from head to toe. Marie-Jean refused to let us back into the house until we stopped dripping. While we were waiting, he had me try to skateboard again. It doesn't get any easier when the ground is wet and your clothes are sagging from the water weight.

Once we had gotten back inside and changed into dry clothing, we spent the rest of the day in front of the TV playing video games. Eventually, the “grown-ups” came in and kicked us off the TV. There was supposed to be some big TV special for Johnny Hallyday’s birthday or something, and so there was going to be a several hours long concert. I decided to pass on that.

Valentin had to go home early to go to bed, because his school started up again the next day. He was so pissed because he wanted to stay and socialize, especially since tomorrow was going to be our last full day before we left to return home. He told his parents he wanted my dad to borrow the car tomorrow to pick him up for school, and refused to leave until we all promised to be there tomorrow to pick him up.
