Will crawl for cords

Dad finished his work stint in the big smoke today, so it was time to pack up the unit and head back home today.

Mum and I did most of the packing while dad was at work. Well, mum did the packing while I discovered the wonderful world of electrical cords.

First it was the laptop cord. Mum quickly whisked it away from me, and packed it. Then I managed to spot the fridge cord when mum was doing the washing up. She couldn't pack the fridge away, so I got moved. Then I discovered the shiny oven. This crawling business is great!

Despite my constant distractions, mum fwas able to finish packing the car in time for check-out. Because check-out is in thw morning, and dad's knock off time was in the afternoon, we headed for the airconditioned shops.

While waiting for a lift we met a little boy who pointed to me and had the following conversation with mum;

"That's a little baby"
"He is"
"Is he one years old?"
"No, he's not even one yet"
"He's not even one?" Thinking pause. "Is he zero? Wow, he is little!"
