You thought I’d just wandered away didn’t you M Kaz but someone should have been yelling “She’s behind you, she’s behind you” – and that way you wouldn’t have almost rolled on to me when you got back into bed this morning. What’s that? I should have been on my blanket and out of the way? Well, you could have taken a little more care when you were building my bus!
Yes, of course I’m grateful that you bought it for me but if any of my friends see it I’m going to be a laughing stock. What? Then I shouldn’t have posted it on FaceBook. You know my friends aren’t on Facebook and I only posted it so your friends would see what a job you’d done. Afterall, you are supposed to be the conscientious one – not the one who turns in projects looking like a dog’s breakfast! All right, maybe it is okay but compared to the one Elly built, it is a bit sad – even you have to admit that. Thank goodness for Elly otherwise we really wouldn’t have believed it could look like the picture on the box.
So who’s this Elly you had build my bus? You’ve never mentioned her before. Where did you meet her? What’s the story? (Pauses for long-winded explanation from M Kaz.) So you’re telling me you found Elly in the cat toy aisle at KMart and she was trying to decide what to buy her 8-year-old lives-inside cat (whose name you neglected to ask or remember) and when you said you were getting me the bus she thought she would too and (very very long story short) you said if her cat didn’t like it once it was assembled, you would buy it off her. What a cunning and devious way to have Elly build it. I hope you at least offered to pay her for her time. No? Well some flowers or something might be the go M Kaz – or a lotto ticket! Or maybe a little treat for our newest friend No-Name!
