The Little Mermaid

Interesting things continue to happen! The other day, Mary K and one of our friends from the backpackers were hanging out down at the harbor. They were sitting down there for a probably half an hour, and to get to the exact spot where they were, Mary K had to step over a gap in the beams that seperated her from the ice cold water about ten feet below. All was well when they arrived; however, the problem occured when Mary K failed to remember half an hour later to step over the gap in the beams so as to not fall in. Needless to say, our friend said that they heard a "bloop" sound, turned around and Mary K was nowhere to be found. They looked over and so her head bobbing out of the water, laughing. Yes, she fell about ten feet, through a space about one cubic foot or less, into ice cold Wellington harbor water. RIDICULOUS. She had to doggy paddle to the closest ladder to get out of the water. She is completely soaking wet, freezing cold, loses everything in her pockets, including her wallet, and has to take a taxi back to the backpackers, where the cab driver tries to charge them an outrageous amount because Mary K got his cab all wet...She arrives and Fred and I just could not believe our eyes or are ears, the story was just too outrageous to believe at first. Eventually word spread through Rosemere and Mary K is now known as Wellington's Mermaid. Now we have S***-face Khoury, Wellington's Mermaid, let's see what's going to happen to Fred; she's had a good laugh at our expense and what goes around comes around :-) Alright, I'm running out of internet time, so I will continue this again!
