picnic2

Well, when we settle down at last, it was time for lunch. We had chicken sliced for us, so the only thing to do was to barbecue them… (We call this food JOOJEHKABAB which means chicken barbecue in English.) The guys start cooking while the girls make other things ready.
Lollypop & Mr. President did most of the cooking & Teddy helped them too. It must have been very delicious, but to be honest I didn’t feel anything when I was eating! ‘Cos Teddy & Mr. President kept telling stories about dirty way of eating & they wanted to make me sick like that. (I’m the hygienist in the band!) These 2 guys are at odds with each other but when it comes to making fun of others, God, they make a united party….
Hadn’t I told you that Pat had music class that day? Well, he wanted to leave as soon as possible, I offered him to pay for the class if he would stay longer but he rejected it…. (However he could not manage to get to the class that day.) As the lunch was over, I guess the Poetess started AB BAZI. (It’s a kind of game; I didn’t know what you may call it in English, the rule is you have to soak others with water until they would be dripping….) I always hated this part of picnics, you know, being soaked is the last thing I want in my life! They didn’t pour water on me ‘cos I couldn’t escape! (One must not be drenched to claim she was the best.) Any way they went on playing, meanwhile Mr. President picked a bottle, filled it with dirty water, mud, drinks &… so no one had the chance to pour water on him! (He threatened us to pour the bottle on anyone who soaks him!) I gathered that Ava was the one who soaked the most & that’s because the Poetess betrayed her! She took Ava to waterfall to pour water on Teddy I guess, but then she & Pat started pushing her through water… I could hear her shouting: Help me! Help me Teddy! Then Teddy told her that he was going to help; he took her up & put her right through the water!!! She was dripping when she comes down. I wonder how come she didn’t catch cold!
Although he missed the class, Pat heads home as soon as we gave the poetess her gifts. He didn’t even wait to have the cake! (That was really strange though.) Mr. President & Lollypop went away with him. As a matter of fact we didn’t feel like getting back so we sat ourselves down over tea & cake & we played cards till it was I think, 5:30… it was getting late so we packed up & drove back to town! Mat dropped Mooshi & the Southerner in one of the main squares of Tehran; & we went to a carwash. I think it was 8’oclock or so when at last I got home! The day was great, but left us so exhausted that when we were offered a trip to KASHAN (a city in the middle of Iran which is famous for it’s Rose Water) to watch GOLABGIRI (making of rose water, the roses are picked up & they’re be boiled to extract the essence), we refused!
well the picnic story is over so you see what we do to have fun!
