You see, he suffers from a cultural kickback I like to call his <em>latin drama<\/em>. It&#8217;s a peculiarity that occurs at least once a day. An otherwise calm soul, with a heavy lean toward pragmatism and the commonsensical, his <em>latin drama <\/em> comes unexpected &#8211; everytime &#8211; and while only lasts for a moment or two, it&#8217;s enough to catch witnesses off guard and result in making me belly laugh &#8211; everytime. <\/p>\n<p>And this morning&#8217;s scenario is one such example&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>All was going smoothly. As he leaves the boat, he flashes a big happy smile my way and blows me a French kiss from the other side of the bridge. Off he walks to catch his tram to Centraal Station. About 10 minutes later, I get a call. My ear is instantly assaulted by the very loud music of the buskers that I immediately recognise  to be those at Centraal. Then, with a calmish voice French Boy says to me &#8220;can you please hurry and look on the clothes basket for my visa card and pin card.&#8221; A question mark lights up above my head. So I look and I see nothing. &#8220;There is nothing here babe&#8221; I reply. Enter, <em>latin drama<\/em>, stage one: &#8220;What? Are you sure, are you sure? Can you look again, look around!&#8221; &#8220;Babe, there is nothing here, I promise you, do you think they have slipped out of your pocket?&#8221; &#8220;Oh shit, oh shit!!&#8221; Enter, <em>latin drama<\/em>, stage two: sheer, irrational, uncontrollable panic: &#8220;They were in the back pocket of my pants, they were there! Now they are not here!&#8221; The buskers are getting louder, and the panic in his voice is writhe. And this time, he has even managed to pass it on to me: &#8220;Shit, are you sure babe, are you sure? Hang on, let me think&#8230;&#8221;. By this time I can feel the drama peak over the phone, and I imagine his eyes suddenly firey and vacant while he undergoes the &#8216;spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch&#8217; check at triple speed, over and over again. The buskers are loud and unrelenting. &#8220;Babe&#8221; I say, &#8220;did you check your rucksack?&#8221; &#8220;YESSSS!&#8221; he shouts and then silence. Except for the buskers. &#8220;Babe?&#8221; &#8220;Oh&#8221; he says, &#8220;they are right here, in the rucksack.&#8221; Enter stage three of <em>latin drama<\/em>: firey eyes turn back to twinkling jewels, he smiles, he chuckles at his own expense, and carries on with his day. <\/p>\n<p>Curtains close. <\/p>\n<p>I go back to sipping my tea, wondering what tomorrow will bring. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a little tidbit about French Boy.
