Sam us a very funny little bloke but some days he just can’t stop talking.
Driving home from Cairns last night after a very long day we were both weary so put some music on and settled in for the drive.
Sam wanted to ask questions talk and argue… Here are 3 of our conversations abbreviated to help preserve your sanity.
Sam: ‘mum…? If you dropped your handbag on the road and a racoon started to eat it what would you do?’
Dad: ‘mate that’s a great question. I bet mums never considered that!’
Sam: (missing the sarcasm) oh yeah! Mate you need to watch out!
Dad: (under his breath to himself) hmmm coz there are a lot of handbag grabbing racoons in Queensland…
5 minutes later…
Sam: did you know I can put my the round bits of my ears in the hole?
Mum: your earlobes?
Sam: yeah!
Mum: that’s nice
Sam: oh yeah! It’s very cool!!
5 mins later…
Sam: mum – the moon is following us!
Mum: no it just looks that way honey
Sam: NO! It is following us. Look!
Mum: no Sam – we are just a long way away and that’s how it seems.
Sam: (indignant) Mum. It is. You just don’t get it!
And so the next 90 minutes ticked by oh so slowly…
gotta watch those bag snatching racoons in FNQ ;-))
btw, i’ve got these great earplugs, they block about 75% noise, and i have spare pair
want ’em?
It’s interesting that you mention that… I once had a quokka dive completely into my backpack on Rottnest… I’d only left it on the ground for a minute but he was straight into it head first!! Seriously. Maybe Sam’s onto something – it pays to be prepared and have a contingency plan! ehehehe.
And that’s what I’ve got to look forward to in years to come.
I remember having that ‘moon’ chat with my folks.
They didn’t get it either…
