You Could Have Caught Me

Oh yes, you will have to hear this joke to make what I say make sense :
You know you're a Michigander when you can wear shorts and a parka on the same day.
And
You know you're a Michigander when you know the 4 seasons, Not Winter, Deer Season, Still Winter, and Construction.
Chapter 3
Nice Weather
The Fellowship was now quite aware that I was real. We were now entering Cahadras. I had been having interesting conversations with all of the Fellowship. Especially Boromir, he seemed to think I was crazy or something.
"You do realize that all of us are men except you, right?" he asked
"Ayah."
"What?"
"Yes, I do realize that, but I have grown up around guys all my life, so it's nothing new."
"I see."
"Hey, it's snowing!"
"It will get colder. We should get our furs that Elrond gave us on." Gandalf suggested.
Everyone except me stopped and put on their furs. I just waited patiently in my cloak, which I had been given, by Elrond.
"Pffft. You call yourselves men. It's barely freezing. And you put you're furs on. Michigan we were parkas and shorts on the same day!"
"Is that were you come from?" asked Merry
"Yes, I come from Michigan."
"Is cold all year round there?"
"No, we have 4 seasons."
"Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter?"
No, Not Winter yet, Deer Season, Still Winter, and Construction."
They all gave me funny looks.
"No, we have the normal seasons. It get's really cold in the winter and really hot in the Summer. But we have a saying in Michigan 'If you don't like the weather, wait 5 min. It'll change.' And that's true. One minute it'll be raining, the next it will hail, or snow, or just quit, then start up again."
"You come from a strange land. And I have been to many a strange land." Said Aragorn
"Yup."
"You speak a strange tongue as well."
"Not really."
"I know not of half the words you speak."
"Wouldn't be the first time anyone's said that. I can speak a little Elvish though, and Spanish, and French, and Italian, and I can swear in German. But don't tell my mom."
"You can speak Elvish?"
"Yes, and I know all of your futures as well, and your pasts. And you barely know me. Funny old world isn't it?"
"You, you know what will happen to Minas Tirith? To Gondor? To my Brother and I?"
"Yes, Boromir. I know every single one of your futures. Even who you're gonna marry. Scary huh? Or who you're not I guess."
I smiled.
"Hey Gandalf? Yeah, we may have to go to Moria, just so you know. Okay?"
Everyone stared at me.
"So, does anyone have a ponytail holder?"
Wow, I'm weird aren't I?
