Questions and answers

I enjoyed a long lie-in this morning which was very welcome.

Callum has been very restless, and has decided that the best way to distract me from doing absolutely anything today is by constantly hugging me. This, he says, is the best way to distract me from anything, apart from him!

He is bored. (This is typical après Christmas behaviour now that all new toys have been played with at least once.)

In addition to his “distracting hug” tactic, he has added the “awkward and impossible to answer in once sentence” questions.

So far we have had:-

A. If God watches us all the time……………is he is a pervert ‘cause

1. He sees me have a poo?
2. He sees you having sex? (If only)………..(not someone seeing me, just having it)

B Why have we only got one sun/moon?

C Why can’t men have babies?

D Why do men need hair? (He is asking a bald bloke!!)

I am quite proud that not only did I manage to answer all the questions, but that in addition he actually understood that

1. God, if he exists, has better things to do than be omnipresent in toilets and during grown up sex sessions.
2. Referred him to Doctor Who re Moon and Sun question
3. Men don’t have wombs
4. To keep warm when we were cave-men, or latterly to attract the ladies, (which explains why God has no worries regarding dad.), See A(2)

Been a good day overall. Won a bit playing pretend poker on facebook :)

Got the washing done and housework completed, beds changed, paperwork sorted, and ready for the working week. Mundane but satisfying to get it all done.

Callum also randomly announced today that he likes crosswords and I am directed to buy crossword books forthwith. He is also pleased he will see his sister and Nan tomorrow.

Last day off tomorrow before our corner of Earth gets back to normal. It has been an odd Christmas, blighted by illness, and just as we were getting festive it’s over!

So, the year starts tomorrow. Lots to do, places to go and people to see.
