The Morning 'Routine'

[Nick]

While Mrs Nick was running around yelling The Boy was playing Scott Joplin rags on the piano. It seemed strangely appropriate

No screaming this morning ...did it all go well today then 

[Nick]

Mrs Nick had to be at work very early so I made sure that The Boy was ready on time

Having heard The Boy's ragtime version of "She'll be coming round the mountain" I can imagine the scene. He is really very good at it too.

See it can be done .....

Just rearrange with her place of employment her starting time and relax

A new variation today. 

It's called 'Delivering letters of apology to all the neighbours' 

For what?

Slipping out after dark (The Boy, not me  ), ringing doorbells and running away. Three times for each of three neighbours 

Angry posse of neighbours arrive at back door at about 9 last night

[Miss Demeanour]

Ducks ?
Pigeons?
Seagulls?
Pheasants?
Sparrows?

[Barman]

Badgers?

[Nick]

No you dolt, neighbours













I am surrounded by idiots 

[Miss Demeanour]

Only the ones that come to the back door though 

[Mr Happy]

You disciplined him for that, either you're a hypocrite or you had a dull childhood.

His shame should be that he got caught, the boy needs to learn to

run faster 

or

 

better.

Now what kind of person may have a spare paper bag...?

[Nick]

He hid badly and got caught. They were incandescent with rage
