I was having a chat with Hayzey about something rather obscure (as they all are I guess ...) and I asked her why she kept going around in circles.
Answer:
"Because it's fun. It makes me dizzy. Like on a roundabout."
What??? A few minutes later I was lucky enough to learn about kid adults. Apparently these are 8 year old kids. They're still kids, but they're also adults because they are bigger.

A had a pretty good Father's Day yesterday. In the morning I wasn't allowed downstairs and wasn't going to be told why. Eventually (very eventually - about 30 minutes) I was told it was time. There were 21 Mars Bars hidden around the place and I had to find them. It was LGR's idea and he was so excited - to the point where he would hover over a hiding place looking straight at the Mars Bar waiting for me to find it!!
After this it was present time and both kids made me something and presented their made gifts with utmost pride. I was very touched by their sincerity.
The day itself was pretty good. We went into town and watched the Ben10 movie using some VIP tickets (it's nice to work where I do - on occasions) and then meandered around The Entertainment Quarter (as it's called) doing not much. It was a pleasant day and the kids were happy so all was good.

I'm Back
Hi Y'all.
It's been a while. I wont' even attempt to explain what I've been up to - most people will find it trivial, boring, unremarkable - whatever. Suffice to say a combination of business, fatigue and apathy has contributed to the large-ish gap in blog entries.
On to the real stuff ....

I was driving LGR and Hayzey home yesterday and I asked Hayzey a question. Her answer was "Because" ....
Dad: Because why?
Hayzey: Just because.
Dad: Is there a reason why?
Hayzey: Because.
LGR: Because isn't an answer. Because doesn't mean anything. Right Dad?
Dad: That's right. Do you know it doesn't mean anything?
LGR: Because because is .... I can't begin an answer with because can I Dad?
Dad: Not really.
LGR: Ok.
Pause.
LGR: Hayzey - you have to give a proper answer. Because isn't an answer because it doesn't mean anything. Can I use because in the middle a sentence Dad?
Dad: Of course.
LGR: So what's your answer Hayzey?
Hayzey: I don't have an answer. I just have because ....
A had a very good chuckle over this conversation. I never found out why Hayzey said what she did (which, just for the record, was that I couldn't go to sleep while I was driving the car ...)
