I'm on my second cigarette of the day. I know it might kill me, but then so could anything involving fire and smoke or the odd loud bang, accompanied by the scream of an F.16 or something similar.
Anyway I was thinking about the phone conversation I had last evening with my little girl before I put up the 'under the influence' thread, which incidentally was only meant to illicit some humorous tales, not the indignation of the
'every thing is bad for you' well meaning moralists. I know drinking and driving is wrong. but then so is is driving round town shooting people you don't know, or is that just kids expressing themselves.
I digress. Back to the phone call.
After she'd told me about her day in class
( a class made up of protestants,catholics,one Russian orthodox and two Muslims)
and her afternoon at dance class, which she started two weeks ago, she asked me if I liked her mother, and I said "not much,sweetheart and I wouldn't come back and live with her."
And she said,"But you are friends cos you pick her up on Saturdays so she can see me horse riding, so maybe one day you could be bigger friends with her again."
Ever the diplomat, HEY, I can be when I want to.I refrained from saying
" pigs might fly" and instead replied
" you never know,sweetheart, stranger things have happened ."
"OK Daddy, night night,I love you, see you on Friday."
"Yes, good night sweety, I love you too."
Then before I cut the call she came back with
"Daddy when I grow up I want the whole world to be friends,and Daddy,
Smokey ( her cat ) misses you.Night,night."
So, who should I listen to........................Her
or the goody goody,Jesus junkie,know what's best for me moralists
No contest
Try to have , a laugh every minute , kind of day folks
It'll make Jessica-Marie very happy
