Yesterday’s corner time: 6 Minutes.
Saturday started off badly for me after I took a dislike to one of our fellow campers, a six year old boy who derived great pleasure in scaring me witless. My dislike eventually manifested itself through a swift blow of my stick to his neck, reducing him to tears.
I stood triumphant or rather, I would have done had I not been dragged off to stand behind a tree for 3 Minutes. I thought that I might have been spared punishment as there were no corners to hand but once again, Dad demonstrated his aptitude for improvisation.
Later in the morning, as it was still raining on and off, we visited a local Aquarium. I was particularly looking forward to seeing the Clown fish but apparently, it was depressed and wasn’t in the mood for entertaining.
The Piranhas were quite interesting and the way they stripped down their prey in a few frenzied seconds reminded me much of Becca eating an ice cream.
There was a pool where you could actually stroke the fish. After patting one slightly too vigorously, I discovered that unlike their feline counterparts, a Catfish appears to have just the one life when it keeled over and floated to the top. I decided that it was best not to mention anything and moved quickly on.
Next on my list were the Conger Eels. I was disappointed not to find them dancing along in a line, holding each other's waists.
Dad explained that it was only the Conga Eels that liked to do that and the Aquarium didn't have any of them. Shame.

- I'm Matthew, I'm 6 years old. I have a Mum, a Dad and an annoying, 4 year old sister, Becca. I started writing this blog when I was two. I had more time on my hands in those days. Becca wasn't even born and I didn't have to attend school for every waking hour. Still, whenever I can, I get up to mischief and I document my adventures here.

I see there was one exception to the friendly rule Matthew, or maybe two if you count yourself.
Matthew, I've been enjoying your blog for a couple of months now and thought I should tell you - you remind me so much of my son when he was your age... only he wasn't so.. restrained. :) He's 16 now, and big enough to put ME in the corner. Just so you know - there's hope.. and paybacks can be such fun. :)
Peter - I was only unfriendly in response to his initial unfriendliness!
Trish - Thanks - I'm glad that you like it. So, there is a light at the end of the tunnel - I can't wait!
