Taking your helmet off

Nearly forgot this in the rush to show some progress this week.

I picked up my little one from after-school club last night and on the
way home we stopped for petrol. She read all the signs about mobiles and
helmets and such and offered to go pay for me if she could have sweets
for after tea. I gave her some money and in she went, with me sploshing
fuel around trying to keep an eye on her.

When I had finished & stood waiting, I noticed general hilarity inside.

This was apparently as a result of the man behind the counter being
asked "Do I really have to take my helmet off?" when all he could see
was the top of a helmet and two spotty dog ears.

Made me laugh anyway.

Thank you for your attention. Move along now. Nothing to see here.

 

Mercenary little sod. Watch her, it starts off with sweets after tea
then before you know it you're bribing them to get decent GCSE
results, all attempts at reason (you'll have more opportunities the
higher your results are) having fallen on deaf ears.

Ah, the unspecified 'something might happen' nagging parental voice.

I'm so glad mine didn't want any form of furriness.
