It's the afternoon in Montreal and the rain seems to be making everyone down. Not me, I just finished my last exam for this year. I am feeling so happy, it just sucks that I have to work.
With the rain, I decide to take the bus home. All of a sudden, about 10 kids walk on to the bus. All you hear is the bus driver telling them: "hold your school bags in your hands". The little boys make their way into the back next to where I am sitting. They are puzzled as to why the bus driver would request such a thing.
The young ones were speaking in French and started to ask each other: "Est-ce-que toi t'a des ami ou des ami (e)"? Of course, none admitted that they had female friends and that was cute. But the cutest was yet to come. One of them stated his outrage with GMOs. "Moi je trouve sa degeulasse les OMG! Tu sait qu'il mettent de l'ADN de scorpion dans le mais?" I actually felt like turning over to him and start discussing the subject. He knew more about it than most adults a have to deal with on a daily basis. His outrage, for whatever the reason, gave me hope that the future generation will react negatively to GMOs. This made my day.

I think I would laugh if I knew what half of your post said.
Oh, I am sad over my nonbilingualism.
