There’s one thing everyone in the world should know about the CN Tower. It’s very, very high. I know towers are normally not short, but this one is HUGE. I stand at the bottom of it and look up.
“Are we going up there?” I ask.
“Oh, you’re not just going up!” Cindy shouts. “You’re going to hang off the edge.”
“Yeah, of course we are!” I laugh. I hope Canadians get sarcasm.
“I’ve read about this,” Mum blurts excitedly.
I have not read about it, and I go very pale indeed.
“Mum, I can’t do heights. You know I can’t. Plus, I’m too young!”
“Oh no, you’re not, honey,” Cindy squeals excitedly. “You’ve just made the age limit. See how you feel when you get to the top!”
When we get to the top, I don’t feel any different. We agree that Mum is going to hang off the edge, Cindy is going to film her, and I will concentrate on the words.
Hello, Millie here in Canada and Hashtag Help! We are up the CN Tower. I am going to level with you. I just can’t do what Mum is about to do, as my anxiety level even being up here is just stupid, BUT the view is incredible! Look!
Cindy spins the phone around. Toronto is STUNNING VON DER STUNNING!
I am now going to watch as my mum hangs off the edge of this tower. It’s 553 meters up in the air. She will be attached by some ropes and other hopefully very strong stuff.
I look out and Mum hangs off the edge and waves. She’s all rigged up and looks incredible. She looks into the camera and says, “I LOVE CANADA!!”
If you want to come to Canada and you want Hashtag Help to hang off an incredibly high building, you can find it here. I mean, you might die!
Mum shouts, “You won’t! It’s completely safe and totally exhilarating!”
You won’t die! In fact, I bet if Dave fell from here, she’d still land the right way up! Don’t worry, she’s not here, we won’t try it!
Cindy puts her thumb up. “Great! That’s a wrap on the tower!”
When my mum comes back in, she gives me a huge hug. She is buzzing with excitement. “What’s next?!” she yells.
Cindy’s eyes go wide. “Niagara Falls!”
