This year I decided not to tie
myself to a theme. I wanted to do
something that felt more like writing rather than composing posts. I didn’t want it to be a story that had to be
followed from start to finish so what I’ve ended up with are: “Conversations in
my Head”.
Cleaning fairy? And you think I’m mad believing in unicorns!
You’re very quiet Alice.
Are you ok?
I’m dreaming of unicorns.
Don’t you think they are wonderful creatures?
Umm you do know they don’t actually exist Alice. They’re mythical.
Well you don’t think I exist and I’m here now so why shouldn’t
there be unicorns? Lots of people
believe in them. They have healing
powers. And they’re cute!
Things with horns are not cute. The images that you see of unicorns are
usually glamourized versions aimed at children.
A horse is a big heavy animal that you don’t want to get on the wrong
side of, add in a horn and I wouldn’t be anywhere near one.
Well that’s because you have no sense of adventure. Imagine riding on one through the
forest. It would be wonderful.
Have you ever ridden a horse Alice?
No but it can’t be that difficult surely?
Depends on whether you like heights or having a big heavy
creature underneath you. It’s not as
easy as it looks and I don’t think unicorns would like to wear saddles.
You are such a spoilsport.
Just trying to be realistic.
No, you’ve still got your health & safety hat on. You’re not at work anymore you know. It’s not your job to make sure everything is
safe.
Maybe not but it’s hard turning off that sort of mind set. Especially now the Grandbabies are
around. I’m always looking out for
hazards.
Like that cup of tea you spilt?
The tea was safe I just didn’t realise the reclining chair
would nudge the table when I reclined.
I don’t mean that one.
I’m talking about the one today that you left on the floor! You knocked it over when you went to answer
the door. And you said a rude word! I had to cover my ears.
Well yes that was a bit clumsy of me. And I’m sorry for the rude word. I didn’t think anyone was listening.
I’m always listening.
Although I have to cover my ears a lot.
You need a live in Grandchild.
You never say any of those words out loud when they’re around.
Of course not. I’m
sure they’ll come out with some unwanted words at some point but hopefully not
from me.
Yes “oh no” is definitely from you and I’m surprised Nathan
doesn’t come out with “oh dear” too.
Well if that’s the worst thing he says I’ll be happy.
You might want to stop calling him sweetie though because
once he knows what sweets are he’ll think you’re promising him some. Oh I forgot.
We need to remember our American readers. Candy.
Well I’m unlikely to call him Candy so I think we’re safe on
that front.
Anyway, that carpet definitely needs cleaning now.
I’ll get the cleaning fairy to do that.
Cleaning fairy? And you think I’m mad believing in unicorns!
That last made me giggle! Hard to believe April is nearly over. Another A-Z almost done.
