Banking Crisis

Oh where to begin. I kinda screwed myself by not telling my bank I would be using my ATM card in Ireland. In all fairness, I wasn't planning on using it. I have two. The one I planned to use, I called the bank ahead of time to tell them I would be using it in Ireland. Unfortunately, that card doesn't work here. Don't worry kiddies, I'm not stuck without money, I just needed more to go register with the Garda (police). Cuz I'm an immigrant. (Shut up Sam!) They make you register so they can keep tabs on ya. So. I basically have to wait till next week when my money gets transferred. Bollocks! Which means I can't spend much till then.

In other news, I was in McDonalds, which is now going to be known as my office as stated by Sharon, with a fellow Work in Ireland participant and we noticed this little kid who seemed to be on speed hopping all over the place. His mother, nowhere in sight. He started talking to us. He was so cute. Blond hair, blued eyed, cherub of almost 7 he told us. He said, "I'm six but a little bit 7." He cracked me up and just didn't stop talking. He was an old soul, you could tell. When he spoke he did this chin stroking, in deep thought thing with his hands. Then he told us that his mom said he was cute and everybody wanted him. "It's true, everybody wants me," he said. He was too precious. He just got all comfy and started to sit next to my friend and just would not stop talking. The whole time she and I were like, "does your mom know where you are?" He insisted that she did. From what we saw I don't think she gave a fiddlers fart where he was. Sad really. He went over to his mom and got his school bag and returned to showed us his books. Then he said he was from Poland, and then the Ukraine and now Dublin. I wish I could have taken a picture of his cute little face but that would have been a majorly creepy thing to do. You know Jody love da kids! Lolz. Only if I can give 'em back to their parents. =)

Then he told us he was learning Irish but couldn't tell us any. So he decided to dazzle us with his knowledge of religion. He informed us of a big flood that would wash away everything. That's when I said, "Isn't there supposed to be a boat involved as well?" His little eyes widened in surprise and I swear to you, screamed, "Yeah!!! You know about it too?!" Haha. I was utterly amused. My friend was not. Oh well. My little friend eventually left and so did my other friend. She took the bus home and I stayed. Doing what? Lord knows. Sorry that I haven't done anything exciting yet for you people that keep telling me that you're living vicariously through me. This weekend I shall change that. Going out later. Will bring camera for photographic evidence of the excitement that y'all think I should be having.
