The Soprano

Yesterday’s corner time: 4 Minutes.

It appears that Dad has a highly sensitive region between his legs. I discovered this when my head inadvertently connected with the aforementioned area during a game of soccer in the garden yesterday evening.

Initially, he pretended that nothing was wrong but the watery eyes and the soprano-like pitch of his voice betrayed him.

It was when I deliberately whacked him there again to see if the first time was a one-off that I think it really began to upset him, because he dropped to his knees and burst into tears.

I was going in for a third time, when Mum intervened. She had tears in her eyes too but she said that they were from laughter.

He dropped to his knees and burst into tears ?

He was probably thanking God that you took the time to play with him.

Fathers are very emotional that way.

Yes, I think he may have been praying for something but I'm not sure it was that!

Well... I'd laugh too...

Thanks Dawn, I'm glad that you like it!.

Peter, I just don't know - they have a warped sense of humour I guess :-)
