The radio comes on loudly, waking us up the way it does every morning.
DB sits up and looks across at the dog (C) we’re looking after, who’s sleeping on the floor next to his side of the bed.
DB: (excited) Good morning C! It’s time to get up! Yup yup yup! It really is! (Hugs dog.) Now I’m going to get up! And then you can have breakfast! That means I have to get dressed! And you’re standing on my socks! (Starts howl-singing so that the dog joins in. Starts getting dressed, interrupting both his monologue and his dressing himself every couple of seconds to pat/hug/sing to the dog). (Ad infinitum)
Me: Good morning DB.
DB: Good morning Jesska. Come on C! Let’s go downstairs and get some breakfast!

{I really liked the way you wrote that piece! Thanks.}
According to the kids rhyme (and they are obviously the ultimate source of reliable knowledge): first the worst, second the best, third the one with the hairy chest…………
And yes, I could be a whole lot further down the list..
{And I really like how you write comments – thank YOU! :)}
