Positive though of the day
Conversations with the child
These days, Bean is a chatterbox on the way to school. Some gems from this morning:
– daddy, you need to get a real job.
– but I already have a job
– no, not work, a job. Like a cook, or a seller.
– do you mean a sailor?
– no, a seller, with a shop. Like a wine seller, that would be good.
– but then mummy would drink all our wine and we wouldn’t have any to sell.
– oh… How about a wine restaurant then, and you could tell mummy that she can only have one bottle a day.
– yeah, the world work.
– OK. When you finish your work, do that. That’s a good plan.
And my favourite :
– daddy, you need to take mummy out on a date.
– ??? OK, but we’ll need to wait until she feels better.
– all right. But you’ll need to buy her some nice flowers.
– OK.
– and some chocolate. And some candy. And take her to see a super duper duper super scary movie called werewolf zombies eat your brains with a headless king in it (!!! I kid you not). And you can even kiss her on the lips!
– Riiiiiight.
So yeah, a very good but very random moment. He also had me thank his teacher for teaching him French, because he’s really starting to want to pick it up.

My sausage got me in trouble at work…

Something I look forward to say to Bean (*)
Work BBQ
Today was the work bbq, on Preverenges beach. The weather was great, and everybody seemed to have a good time, with the food and beverages being more than plentiful.
I played grill master (a role I love) but, unexpectedly, that role had an unusual consequence today. I spent so much time standing on the same side of that grill that only half of my face got sun burnt from the sun reflecting off the lake.
