With the big “garden gate” on her birthday cake perhaps one should have expected that conversation would rise to a whole new level, but how could one expect this on the morning before her birthday?
Me (in enthusiastic description of the proposed new car): “And it’s got a gadget that will make it impossible to hit anything in reverse. Even if we don’t see it, the car will and it will stop before it hits.”
Miss Eight, (with a somewhat quizzical countenance): “Well that’s no good. What if we want to rob a jewellery store?”
Any hope of she and I becoming a modern day Bonnie and Clyde lies dashed, apparently.
There goes the retirement career.
ReplyDelete@Jack, I can't be sure if she's thinking that we might steal a car without that function before setting out! I can't be sure of anything these days!
