Small Witticisms

Small and witty, just like Woody Allen, but without the 14 year old girlfriend

 



Public Holidays

E-mail Print
The reason that I go to work on public holidays.

I have often pondered the logic involved in staying home on a public holiday. The joy of listening to my neighbour’s kids torment their dog at 7.00 am, the buzz of a chain saw or the guy on the other side of the valley who rides his Harley motorcycle (without a muffler) take some of the shimmer out of those cherished morning lie-ins.

Is it….I…I’m in the highly unusual state of being almost lost for words…The “Before” picture… by implication, the terribly unsexy stomach…I…well… she’s PREGNANT!!!!

The Fail Fairy

E-mail Print
Fail FairySome nights, while you’re sleeping the fail fairies come and sprinkle fail dust in your hair, so no matter how hard you try, everything you do the next day will fail. Epically.

This morning I woke up (late) shouted at the children for not doing something I had told them I would do while they were in bed, stepped on the dog, forgot to feed the cat and drove half way up my street with the hand brake on, while cursing the car for being so crap and unreliable.

Then I got to work, email a Very Important Client apologising for the delay on their impotent issue, and ascribing said delay to the fact that I am so busty at the moment.

So I thought I would escape into Twitter for some light relief. In my first tweet of the day I managed to accidentally suggest to someone that dogs should crap in their ear (which they shouldn’t) because he owns a purple poodle (which he doesn’t). This, mind you, was directed at the most welcoming and friendly of all the tweeple I’ve met on Twitter. Apology attempt implied that it was all his fault for posting such a link (which it wasn’t and he posts lots of very interesting link, which I truly enjoy).

So, realising that interaction with the virtual world was an increasingly bad idea I decided to take myself out for some medicinal muffins.

Some Moments

3 year old son in the back of the car talking about bottoms. “I’ve got a bottom, you’ve got a bottom, baby’s got a bottom, daddy’s got a bottom, that lady’s got a bottom, the bin’s got a bottom…” and etcetera for the entire drive home, until the coup de grâce, as he scrambled out of the car and shrieked “Hello Mr Bottom Man” to the lovely gay man who lived next door. Son then danced merrily into the house leaving me to face the reproachful gaze of Lovely Gay Man and listen meekly to his homily on the evils of indoctrinating children with bigotry and prejudice.
