the unlikeliest fairy
in the 12 years my ex and i were together, we were mostly childish, due to being constantly stoned.
the one time that sticks in my head was when we decided to go to the park at 2 a.m and play on the swings. i was 23 at the time, he was 29.
we sat, swung and smoked for an hour before getting bored. looking outside the park, i noticed the bus shelter.
"paul" i said "i dare you to climb up on the bus shelter and be a chicken."
quick as a flash, he climbed on top of the shelter, flapped his arms and shouted "COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!"
as you can imagine, i found this immensely funny. paul decided that he wanted to climb more things, so he shinned up a tree. after laughing at him for a while, i told him to get down as he had the spliff.
"i'm the fairy at the top of the christmas tree" says he, "what are your 3 wishes?"
"i wish you'd get down, give me the spliff and not climb up again" i replied.
paul declined. he threw me the joint, but refused to give up his perch. this was why, when 2 drunken girls we knew came walking through the park 10 minutes later, they asked me why i was talking to a tree.
"i'm not!" i protested, "paul's up there, he won't come down!"
due to the lateness of the hour and paul's penchant for dark clothes, the girls couldn't see him and refused to believe my tale.
suddenly, with a very loud "WOOOOOOOOOO!" paul started shaking the branches.
the girls almost shat themselves.
we laughed. a lot.
after getting him down from the tree, we decided to smoke a few more joints. attack a bottle of poppers and dance a conga up the main road at 3 a.m.
ahh, the good old days...
