Last summer I had the phrase "on your left" shouted at me at least 9 million times. That's because that's what speedy hardcore spandex-wearin' bikers say so they don't have to run over you when they pass you on the trail. I've been thinking.... The world would be a better place if people could shout "on your left" on the freeway and the drivers being passed waved and said "thanks" as the speedy hardcore spandex-wearers passed them.
This summer it is the phrase that I can picture Dr. Man & every "be a good pregnant lady" Lady shouting at me as I lay on Tommy's bed (on my right side) watching him play. I worry that NBE has something horrible happening to him because I'm not on my left, as I so clearly should be.
Eh well, maybe next summer.
There's this neat trail by my house I've been taking my crazy kid and puppy for walks on and there are so many bicyclists all the time so I know what you mean by hardcore spandex-wearin' bikers yelling that on their way by. The first time it happened I didn't realize I was walking down the middle and I didn't even hear the girl coming and she yelled it and I just about jumped out of my skin!
