Obviate

Impossibly Early o'clock:

(boy comes bounding into bedroom)

Alex: Happy birthday Shane!

Shane: Aaarrrggghhh.

Alex: Come on, get up! We've got presents for you.

Shane: Ugh. Ok.

(I get up and I head for the bathroom)

(The boy had meant for me to head downstairs with him - immediately)

Alex: Where are you going? You don't need to brush your teeth yet! You haven't got any plankton on them!

I smile. A good start to another year.

Happy Birthday dear Shaney
Happy Birthday to you.
Are you another Gemini like my Mum?

i have an image of you cruising a dream ocean, lips slightly ajar, sifting.

Happy Birthday

Shane said...

Yes, Pattipi, a Gemini.

B - that would be my kind of cruising.

But maybe he's got algae, or lobster tails, or moss. Give a guy a break.

Happy Belated Birthday (sorry I'm late; hope it was a good one).

Alex makes me laugh.
