Talking to Roo
Many years ago, I used to teach 4 year olds. One day, when I was shopping, I met Megan with her mummy. Megan, turned in amazement to her mum, and said:
'Look, it's Miss; I thought she lived in the home corner at school.'
Yesterday, when I was driving the children back from tennis, the phone rang. It was Roo, so I pulled over.
Roo: Are you alright?
Me: Yes, I'm fine, are you ok?
Roo: Yes, are you alright?
Me: umm, great
Roo: Are you alright?
Me: Of course, I'm f****ing alright, why are you phoning?
Roo: You weren't in.
Me: No, the kids have had tennis.
Roo: You haven't been in today.
Me: I have a life (umm).
Roo: Here's Moo
Moo: Ben's (another carer) gone off for a few days. He says he needs a break.
Me: Well, that's good.
Moo: He hasn't taken Lyn
Me: That wouldn't be a break then
Moo: Silence
Moo: How's the slow cooker?
