SMall boys' games

[Nick]

 

1. Dismantle picnic table and haul bits into tree to construct platform. Trample half garden flat in process.

Get yelled at.

2. Get mad Another Boy and the Two Teenagers from next door and commence wheely bin racing. Small Boys INSIDE wheely bins.

Hear trundling and screaming and go to investigate.

"Have you taken the rubbish out of the bins?"

"No, we didn't bother."

 

3.Let'splay football. Shall we use the expensively acquired goalpost?No, let us use the garden fence as a target.

Oh.We didn't mean to break the fence

 

[Snoopy]

Such a shame they have to grow up really isn't it. 

[TG]

It all sounds good to me.

Apart from the fact we didnt have wheelie bins back then I did most of that.

But we had GAT's. me and a friend had a GAT gunfight in his back yard and a policeman came around and shouted at us a lot.

Them were the days.

If we had wheelie bins I would have considered it an honour to trundled round the streets at high speed in it.

They'll have come from the old carpet. Woodlice like old carpets. They are closey related to shrimps. You could boil a handful and have them on toast for tea. I saw Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall do that once, on TV.

[Nick]

Do they breed in cars? 

[Snoopy]

Oh yes. 

A visit to your friendly garden centre is called for ~ they will have a product to spray in the carpets of the car that should kill the woodlice off.

[Nick]

Oh no 

[Snoopy]

All you ever wanted to know (and more) about woodlice.

The car problem is that they will take up residence under the carpets and seats as they will be unable to get out.

[Snoopy]

Then call the council and pay the £3 ~ you know it makes sense.
