Night Shift ....

Hi Folks

Here I am at 04:30am - 10.5 hours into my shift and only 1.5 hours to go. Starting to get a bit weary.

This week I have had one very nice conversation with LGR, and Mrs G and I had one very interesting conversation with him.

The nice one first:

We were discussing the weather while I was pushing him on the swing at the park. He asked me why it wasn't raining - he could see clouds and even informed me that the TV Lady said it would rain. I told him that the lady on TV made a mistake. This is still a bit of unknown concept (mistake) and I had to assure LGR that making a mistake is different to being naughty; and that everyone makes mistakes.

His reply? "Not Mummy". When asked if Daddy makes mistakes I was met with a giggle and the single word reply of "Yes"

Now the interesting conversation.

Mrs G, myself and LGR were discussing the upcoming birthday parties over dinner when he suddenly piped up with "The funny girls will come to the party!". We thought this was cute; until he followed it up with "We will give them beer!"

I have no idea where this came from or exactly what he meant - but I'm sure everyone has their own interpretation. Those who've eaten with LGR will understand his interpretation of beer ....
