Backseat Driver

Daddy, do you know the roads here? ‘Cos they are a bit different to the ones back home. 

I will watch out for the tricky ones.

Our loaner car seat didn’t offer much slumber support, leaving Boy slumped over in an ‘L’ shape when he dozed off, so we bought him a little travel pillow. Which meant he was slumped over with a little pillow behind his neck.

Anyway, he thought it was a pretty neat headset – grabbing one end and speaking (loudly of course) into it.

"Um, yes, we just on the way to Dunedin now. Yes, we just coming up to the intersection now, we just going that way. Ok Daddy? That alright?"

No, I can’t read. I can only read maps.

Songs of Praise

Boy was ecstatic to be home after a whole month away. He rushed around very busily reacquainting himself with his toys and the house. Then he dragged out an old busted up guitar and proceeded to serenade us with some very entertaining lyrics. By the time I got the video out he had moved on to less interesting stuff – you’ve missed the one about someone getting their head bitten off and neck pooed down, for instance – but we got in just before his exhausted, jet-lagged mind succumbed to incoherent jibberish.

Well almost.

If you really want to know.... -

There was a little....

There was a little, little bee and it was very busy

Fying high

On the way back from our holiday, Boy and his fearless sidekick Nut were invited to assist the captain in the cockpit. He showed Boy the controls and explained that was how you moved the plane.

So, he asked Boy, do you think you can fly the plane now?

Um.... well... I don't have my driver's licence yet.

Maintaining structural integrity

I made that wall. The wall is there so the wind doesn't come in and blow me out the window.

The mystery revealed

Because everyone is dying to know the answer to the Quiz

It was a fireman's kit... of course!

Green foam = the hose
Goggles = Gas mask (that's an easy one)
Dummy = An air blower to help the fire
Brush = To scrub the dust off the walls (fires make lots of dust)
Hair brush = 'To fix your hair up' (I suppose helmet head is an ocupational hazard after all)

Master and Commander

You're not the boss in this house Granma, you know.

We're uncertain at this point exactly who is.

Magical Mystery Tour....

.... into the mind of Boy.
