| The "Lazy River" |
I love learning British-isms. Last week at our Bible study we were talking about going to the "lazy river" together. Agent B. (whose house we meet at) said we'd go there sometime in the afternoon, spend of an hour or two pootling in the river, and then...but that was all I heard.
"What-ing in the river?" I asked. "Poogling?"
"Pootling," Agent said, entertained by my amusement.
For the next few minutes I was dying laughing. Pootling! What a funny word to describe bobbing around in the water and sort of swimming. I repeated it to myself and laughed out loud all the way home.
That was last Wednesday. I think I can finally say it without getting tears in my eyes.
Hahaha, I've never even heard 'pootling' before. How hilar.
ReplyDeleteO, poor Agent B. I hope he wasn't embarrassed being lighted at so.
ReplyDeletelaughed at, I mean.
ReplyDeleteHe thought it was funny, I think.
ReplyDeleteYes he just laughed because he thought it was so funny that Erika loved the word so much
