Play Date

Yesterday’s corner time: 2 Minutes.

I had a play date with Emily yesterday. Things have moved on quite a bit since she ordered her lawyers to drop the restraining order.

I was determined not to make the same mistakes as before and resolved that this time, I would play it cool.

On arrival at her house, we parked in the drive and then walked up to the house. As the front door swung open, Emily was revealed standing at the foot of the stairs and she said hello. Well, I didn’t need asking twice, I raced in and pounced on her.

My ardour was interrupted by Mum hauling me off. Emily clambered up and immediately started to leaf through the phone book for her lawyer’s number. I decided that I needed to perhaps play things even cooler.

However, I may then have appeared slightly too disinterested as she was soon accusing me of not loving her any more. I seem to be struggling to find a happy medium between solitude and legal action.

My friend's sister seems like an easier proposition altogether. She only has to get partially wet and she starts to strip off all her clothes. Living in England as we do with our damp climate, this is a personality trait that can’t easily be ignored.

It’s fortunate for her that I’m a gentleman and would never consider dousing her with my water pistol. Well, not again anyway – I was in a enough trouble after the first three times.

It's a good thing you and my daughter are on seperate continents Mathew. I'm sure that if you were within play date distance of eachother, there would be trouble in spades.

I think quite a few of the parents who live near to me wish they lived on another continent too!

Here through BE. This is a cute concept!
