To make sure I didn’t forget her for the rest of my trip, Mandee managed to cram in some hilariously typical Mandee moments on our final day in Puerto Rico. Let me share some highlights:
1. 6pm: Mandee falls off the stage as we exit after our performance. Yes falls. Completely. Lands on her knee and nearly brings Carlos down with her as well. Which would have toppled all of us (could our performance get any more embarrassing after the complete choreo fuckup? well yes, possibly if we all collapsed down the stairs like dominos!)
2. 11pm: Mandee, Sonia and I are leaving our room and walking down the hallway to the elevator. Mandee (not wearing her glasses and thinking we were alone in the hallway) prounounces loudly: “Look, my nipples are out!” Meanwhile, the guy two doors down from us is also walking down the hall, and he can’t help but look up and laugh at this statement. His response as we all got in the elevator together: “Come on? Where are the nipples? You said they were out!”
3. 2am: We’re sitting at the bar in the local Trattoria, having late night gelati from the hot “Gelati Boy” (also known as Jimmy) when Mandee says loudly, “does it snow here in wintertime?” Now remember readers, we are currently sitting on a tropical island in the Carribbean. Snow? Hmmmm! I think I laughed so hard I might have wet myself in public.
4. 2:15am As if this all hadn’t been enough, we’re walking back to our hotel room, discussing the hotness of the gelati boy, when Mandee prounounces loudly “Nah, he’s too skinny for me anyway, I like them nice and cuddly so you can really get a hold of them” the punchline? At that exact moment, the same guy from two doors down leaves him room, just in time to overhear Mandee’s comment. Needless to say, I think we were his free entertainment for the night.
But the real quote of the trip remains the very first, and very classic Mandee comment:
“Hi, I’m Mandee, do you dance salsa?”
She’s never, ever going to live that one down.
