A high school you can't graduate from

A high school you can't graduate from

Krabucket is obviously not the real name of my hometown. I came up with the name when my then boyfriend explained me the expression "crab mentality" (i.e. if I can't have it, nobody else can). Put one crab in a bucket and he'll get out easily. Put two, three, four and they'll fight each other non stop and they all end up on the stove.

The rest, the sign on the road announcing a reality tv star from 2003 (it was still there when I got there last christmas!), the driving up and down mains street, the Tim Hortons at the traffic light.... and the economic misery...and the alcoholism...and the racism...

***

Non, mon village d'origine s'appelle pas Krabucket. J'ai trouvé l'expression quand mon chum de l'époque m'a expliqué l'expression "crabs in a bucket", soit une communautée toxique. "Si je peut pas l'avoir, tu l'aura pas toi non plus": mets un crabe dans un seau, il va s'en sortir assez facilement. Mets-en deux, trois ou quatres ils vont se battre jusqu'a ce que tout le monde finisse dans le chaudron.

Tout le reste est vrai: la pancarte qui annonce encore que c'est la ville d'origine d'une vedette de téléréalité de 2003, les un and downs sur la rue principale, le Tim Horton plus gros que le village...et la misère économique...et l'alcoolisme rempant...et le racisme....

Like many a kid who moved from a conservative countryside to a liberal city, I can go from hating to loving my hometown about 30 times in a day.

Comme bien du monde qui est né dans une petite ville de droite et a déménagé dans une grande ville de gauche, je peut passer de détester
à adorer mon village 30 fois par jours...
