Last year one night my hubby sat outside dutifully waiting whilst I had a pedicure. He entertained himself by helping the staff hand out leaflets for the respective massage, pedicure, manicure shop. I was watching thru the large windows. He was having a wonderful time then suddenly, quick as greased lightening, he shot off the seat near the gutter and pinned himself against the door. What the....? He stayed there until I came out, luckily I was near the end of my lovely pedicure.
The reason for resembling Flash Gordon, according to the staff with him, a moose. Thats right a big fat moose, which translated to mouse. Unfortunately hubby knows a rat when he sees one and isn't tooooo partial them at all. lol
So what you saw in the dark may indeed have been a moose.
It seems to be beyond some parents comprehension that not everyone is on holiday in another country just to admire the abilities of their children to annoy the crap out of others, nor that others may be on holiday for rest and relaxation. When the said child is approximately 16 and you end up covered in water whilst reading your book by the pool because the idiot decides the sign that says no diving means you can do bombies and who cares who you disturb, well I reckon thats about time for retaliation. After accidently swearing at him because I was deep into my reading and got quite a shock when doused with the pool water, I informed hubby if that idiot does that again I am going to do the same right where his mother is sitting. I don't know what was the most disappointing, the fact that hubby did not support that idea or that the idiot didn't do it again!
Glad to hear you are enjoying the picture book present as well. Sounds like you got the perfect gift for the occasion lol
Great JBRs.
