Give me some dialogue from your day

[simon the viking]

I'm working at home doing code stuff, so I've put on my over-ear headphones and shut the study door so I can concentrate. I took the headphones off for a moment and ventured out into the house, I heard my wife say to my two-year-old

'but now there's poo everywhere'

so I went back into the study and put the headphones back on.

Isnt the correct phrase for the above "plausible deniability" ?

Ha, very much so!

'Shall i do it then ?' asks the wife..
'Do it, go on, or we'll never get it done'

And so she pressed return....and we're off to Kefalonia this summer
A whole week looking at Tenerife, Lanzarote, Corfu, Greece, Turkey, Mexico, Cape Verde, Zakinthos, Madeira, the Algarve....we overanalyse it all, find a hotel that looks good only to reject it on location or the beaches(must be sandy).
TBH, i'm sick of going over and over them all...but Kefalonia looks good and fills (hopefully) all our requirements.
We've not had a disappointing holiday in years, we do the homework to make sure...but its hard work.

Dad's got a new ukulele. He asked me to look up Jake Shimabukuro on Youtube. I did. Amazing talent.

"See that? That'll be me someday! People will be asking, "Jake, who?"
"Sure, Dad. But that's only because they can't pronounce his name right, not because you've outdone him!"

Tell him to look at : https://www.youtube.com/user/simpletunes2?feature=watch

It may be better for starters Tell me your father can sing. Remember each voice is unique.

He can't sing, actually! Not IMO!

Resident walking by: Oh, you'll be busy today!
Me: Yes, we are.

Another resident walking by: Busy time for you!
Me: <gritted teeth> Yes, it is.

Another resident walking by: You've got a lot to do then!
Me: <teeth so gritted they are on the edge of falling out> Yes, yes, we have.

Old Lady coming to door as I pick up recycling box: Hello..
Me: <thinks> Grrrrrrrrrrr, if she tells me how busy I am....
Old lady: Here, have this, you all work so hard!
Me: Oh! Oh, that's very kind, thank you! Happy New Year!

We've measured up to fabricate some guiderails on a machine..they're here now with the engineering manager who says..
'We'll fit em now, turn that machine off Col'
'Done'
Within seconds, a line leader skips through..
'Whats going on ?'
'Two minutes, we're just fitting these rails' (two minutes, haha, more like 15..)
'Oh, ok'
Two minutes later, packing manager comes through..
'Paul, whatcha stopped the lines for ?'
'We're fitting these'
'But Paul, I need to know when you re doing stuff like this, how long are you going to be ?'
'Im telling you now then, we'll be half an hour'

Packing manager submits, we carry on, I snigger to myself..engineering manager (very much hands on type) doesnt bat an eyelid and carries on.
I like his style. They've complained long enough about the lack of rails...now they're going to have them.

My 2yr old daughter's latest 'thing' is to open things, peer into them & sadly say , 'Oh no! Someone's done a poo in there!"

 

[Andrew_Culture]

Well it was bound to happen, last night my lass started with, "Oh no, daddy has pooed himself". Which is only true occasionally.

 

[Lullabelle]

After last night, we are mostly just grunting at each other, still feeling a bit fragile from the late night/early morning putting the world to rights.

General banter in the kitchen at work re. a crabbit Scotsman...
' Calypso can you use your mystic powers on Carl please?'
'I haven't got any...'
'Everyone has mystic powers'

Dad: "I think that people who work in tanning salons should have the moral obligation to say - whenever someone comes in who even vaguely resembles an orange - to say, "NO! STOP. You look like a tangerine. Go home."

That's one scatalogical kid you've got there!
