Resignation

Yesterday’s corner time: 15 Minutes.

Mum resigned yesterday.

Apparently, I’ve broken the terms and conditions of the cohabitation agreement under which I’ve been living with my Parents.

This was all news to me. I didn’t realise that we actually had a contract and that Mum could just walk out.

I certainly don’t remember signing anything. Although, when I think about it, Mum was getting me to practice my signature at her desk the other day. I think I need legal advice - my law studies haven’t covered employment legislation.

Mum had seemed to be coping with the day fairly well until she discovered that I had peed in her new handbag.

I was accused of having a fixation and deliberately peeing everywhere except in the toilet itself. She then re-traced my footsteps and demonstrated how I had actually passed the downstairs loo to get to her bag.

Mum then marched upstairs, poked her head into my Dad’s office and handed him her resignation.

Dad didn’t appear to welcome the news and pointed out that her notice period was 18 years.

I didn’t see what happened next but I heard Mum using a few words for which I would normally receive corner time.

Matthew.

hi i must say i love reading about your busy days they are almost identical to my daughters days who is also 2.5 yrs old.

i have a little advice for you to pass on to your mom, which im sure you will agree is fun and is sure to keep mommy happy too. put a table tennis ball down the toilets as this will float and not flush away, providing the perfect object for target practice, failing that a handfull of cheerios wor wonders too as they take forever to flush away and you can have great fun aiming at all the diferent ones :) enjoy
