I had one of those "you had to be there" and "it was legend" moments last night. Driving to dinner for my friends birthday. Packed into the back of the car was myself, Caroline (the birthday girl) and five helium-filled "Happy Birthday" balloons. Riding shotgun was Ms Louise and our humble driver for the night, Shahil ("The Token") was at the wheel. Winding along a glistening Witkoppen, Shahil calmly cornered the road into a burst water main gushing gloriously. The water cascaded through the only open window (on Shahil's side) spraying our clothes, faces and of course the balloons. Shocked and a little wet we just laughed. Laughed about laughing. Laughed about how our faces and tummies ached from laughing. Caught up in the hilarity of it all.
!BANG! ... delay, the girls screamed, I laughed. A "Happy Birthday" balloon had exploded in the car. Shocked and a little relieved, we just laughed.
It was legend but I guess you had to be there.
