Fish
Thursday, 18 October 2007 Filed in: heads and
tails
Every week while my son does his Karate, my daughter
and I wait outside the hall. Most weeks she fishes in
a large puddle for sharks. His week she caught a two
pink fish, three yellow fish and a pink shark. We
then went to get some stamps for Daddy. The post
office is in the parade of shops next to the hall /
library at the back of a corner shop. So we queue up
next to the freezers, which my daughter knows they
contain frozen food. So she started a chant of
catching frozen fish. I agreed if we had enough coins
after getting Daddy's stamps. Which we did, so she
carried, very proudly, ten fish fingers and four
pound coins to the till at the front of the shop. She
was marching right up to the front when I said "Stop,
you must wait behind the gentleman." "Ok Mummy." and
she stands at the end of the queue, waiting patiently
for her turn. He person in front said "Wow me a
gentleman" and then bought her a chocolate reindeer
with a bell for being so good. She did say thank you
for the rabbit!. I guess with those large brown eyes
of hers this is the start of getting away with loads.
