Father walking on pavement with 4/5? yo child: Erica, can you hear me ?
Child: ....
Father; Erica, can you hear me ?
Child: ....
Father: You can't shake your head and say 'No' !
 
the best dialogue of my day was in my head and mainly consisted of...

"stay calm, don't get too excited and definitely don't try and stroke the adder that is just a few feet away"... i went on a snake search this morning and got within reach of some basking adders. amazing to see them so close.

Reminds me of the time one of mine answered the phone while I was in the kitchen, and told me it was Grandpa. I left her having a fine old chat with him while I got the dinner going and then took the phone to find out it was some cold calling salesman!

Earlier this week, young lad in the changing rooms, 8 or 9 at a guess. I've met him before a couple of times - he has lessons every Monday, about the time I swim. It was my SPDs got us chatting...he was very intrigued by the whole idea of clipping into your pedals. This week's chat ended with:

Boy: I've got a new teacher this week
Me: New teacher?
Boy: Yes
Me: You've never had him before?
Boy: Nope. (Getting ready to leave.)
Me: Hope it goes well with your new teacher.
Boy: (earnestly) I'll tell you all about it next week. Bye.

Wife to myself...
'Want a jellybaby ?'
'Oooh yes please'
She shakes TWO jellybabies into my opened palm. TWO :ohmy:..out of a big bag ^_^
'Giz some more :huh:, you tightwad'
'No, you never buy me sweets :dry:'
'WHAT !!!!, no, i don't buy sweets...but i do buy you a Subway when we're out shopping...you spend £1 on a bag of sweets, i spend £5 on your Subway..lets see......:huh: '

All this is done with a grin on both our faces...some of our usual verbal jousting :laugh:..i got my jellybabies :wahhey:
 
New guy just arrived in the next door holiday home tried chatting me up. His road bike is on the roof of the his car and I'm outside cleaning the chains on our 2 road bikes after today's ride.
next line was "I'm doing a 60 miler tomorrow..."
"yeh - so am I" :becool:
Not sure it was the response he was after - he left without saying another word and I'm left wondering what I've said! Think I may have meant to have been more impressed!

In Tesco tonight and there's a table setup with some reduced electrical items. A special edition Olympic Panasonic Lumix S3 caught my eye.

Me to Tech boy standing beside table - that looks good buy.
Tech boy - its got 14 megapixel and 4 x optical zoom.
Me: do you know size of screen?
Tech boy - no. If you take it up to the photolab desk tell them Jonathan sent you and its to be £25 :smile:

Tannoy Announcement towards the end of the Model Railway show today:

"This is to remind the person who left their coat in reception, that their coat is in reception."

There had been a steady stream of amusing lost property announcements, including a single lens from some glasses, a piece of tube, a packet of knife blades and "Could the person who recently purchased some hay bales please return to the stall".

NT: What do you want me to do with your leftover pastry slice? (Too much in one for me, there was a bit left)
Me: Put in on a plate in the fridge please. I'll have it for lunch tomorrow or something.
NT: Oh. Not in my tummy then?
Me: No. I love you, but not that much!
;)

(Chorizo, pepper and sweetcorn, on a base of cream cheese, on a puff pastry slice. Very simple, and lovely!)
