End of work day yesterday
Manager: Why have you spread Lego across your desk?
Me: I want to try and get it home on my bike
Manager: Those are Disney Princess Castle's
Me: Yes; I figure if I don't transport the boxes and put the bags in my backpack I might be able to get it home in one go
Manager:
Me: Hey, I need it for my collection
Did you watch that program about lego enthusiasts last week?
I certainly did. It was both informative about the structure of the company and the ideals that it likes to project as well as encompassing the idea of Adult fans like me without focusing too much on the reasons behind our obsession. Are you an Adult Fan Katherine?
I'm really reminiscing now... My parents still have the lego castle in its box with instructions that we sent off for with weetabix vouchers - it's yellow! - In the 70s! It was always kept separate from the other pieces that were all mixed up.
What about you? Do you have a house full?
Just walked the dog and met a woman, her young daughter and their terrier, also young and absolutely thrilled to meet a girl dog. There was lots of attempted humping, all of which was met by much hilarity from me, rather more embarrassed laughter from the woman and a classic line from her daughter:
"Don't worry mummy, he's not got his pencil out!"
We carried on chatting and I asked the girl if she wanted to swap dogs as hers was obviously intelligent but mine is a bit stupid. She politely declined the swap but offered up the information that her dog could be silly at times.
"He hangs his tongue out but then can't pick up his balls."
Guy I used to work with got fed up of his kids arguing about who got most...wahhh, his bits bigger than mine....so he used to give one of them a mars bar, a piece of cake , whatever it happened to be and told him...you cut it in half....your brother then has first choice. See the first one virtually measure it like his life depended on it ..because if he got it wong, his brother inevitably chose the biggest bitI had a house full of grand children.
"Can I have a drink" ". If he has one, can I have one as well?" " if they have a drink, can I have a coke". "Can I have a cup of tea if they are all having one". He had two cakes before and I didn't, so can I have mine now". " I don't like those cakes, can I have something else".
Me looking at Mr WD. "Are you sure were not allowed to tie them to chairs and gag them". Im sure they're parents won't mind".
