A little background: beers and gambling=two of Australia's national pasttimes.
Gus and his bestie are making big plans to meet up after high school for a gap year in Europe. They're planning to check out all the castles (hmmm, yeah - I'm sure a couple of 18-yr old boys will be keen on checking out castles).
The other day he was telling me all about his plans for his gap year, and then he stopped mid-sentence, with a look of realization on his face.
Gus: You're going to have to fly with me on the plane, because I won't be able to go on my own.
Me: Sure you will, you'll be 18 by then.
Gus: Woh! 18! Does that mean I'll get to drink beer and play the lotto?!
Me: Yep
Gus: Maaaad.
...and then the topper. We were in the car the other day, driving to Gus' art lessons, and out of nowhere:
Gus: Is there such thing as snowsuits?
Vic and I: in our heads: WTF?!; out loud: Uh, yeah.
Gus: I mean, snowsuits for kids and for adults too?
Vic and I: We need to get you back to Canada, stat.

I really like that Dana, snowsuits. What kind of suits are Australians familiar with?
Hi Dad, wetsuits or springsuits (wetsuits with short legs and short sleeves) would be the thing to have on this side of the world!
