…. YESTERDAY VINNIE CALLED TO TELL US THAT HE HAS FINALLY HAD HIS LETTER TO CONFIRM THAT HE WILL BE AN OFFICIAL GAMESMAKER AT THE LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS …. HOW BRILLIANT IS THAT? WE ARE SOOOOOOOOO PROUD …. AND GOT VERY EMOTIONAL. HE HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO SWIMMING, AND AS PART OF THAT WILL BE WORKING AT THE POOL, THE OLYMPIC VILLAGE AND THE SWIMMING TRAINING AREA, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTED AND HAS WORKED SO TIRELESSLY FOR!
HE IS ALREADY LEARNING HOW TO SAY “NO BOMBING, NO PETTING AND NO DUCKING” IN AS MANY FOREIGN LANGUAGES AS HE CAN AND SAYS HE WILL MAKE SURE THAT NO OLYMPIC SWIMMER OR DIVER, NO MATTER HOW GOOD, WILL BE ALLOWED IN “HIS” OLYMPIC POOL WITH A VERRUCA OR ATHLETES FOOT, PLASTER OR NO PLASTER! WE CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW VINNIE MUST BE FEELING …BUT WE ARE BESIDE OURSELVES ….. IT’S A FLIP FLOPS AND RUBBER SWIMMING HAT AKIMBO MOMENT! ...... OH AND HE IS SAVING ALL HIS SMALL CHANGE JUST IN CASE SOME OF THE SWIMMERS WANT A HOT CHOCOLATE FROM THE MACHINE ON THEIR WAY OUT!
How brilliant to be able to say we know someone volunteering at the Olympics. I hope we get lots of inside information.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Vinnie! I always wondered about no petting as a child.
