much merriment from what kids have been saying.
Overheard at work today...
when Kim's boys arrived from school
to be taken home.
Kim's eight year old son
said to her he needed to stay
until the end of the school social tonight,
which is 10pm
(on a school night!),
because if she picked him up early his girlfriend
would be alone and this other boy would flirt with her,
cause he does it now!
True story.
Last night I went to birthday dinner
for Lavina.
Very nice it was too.
Leah was telling us about taking her
nieces and nephews
to the (now gone) aquarium in Cathedral Square.
There were magnificent displays of
tropical and exotic fish
(not sure if they are the same or not).
While Leah was enthralled by the huge tanks
filled with brightly coloured fish,
her nieces and nephews were acquainting themselves
with the feel good tank
where the kids could reach in and
touch the shellfish and crays.
Leah felt a tap on her shoulder
from the horrified attendant
to turn around and see the
kids hoeing into the kina,
cracking open the paua,
prising open the oysters
and gobbling them up.
Her little nephew had his hand wedged under a rock
as he tried to get a hold of the crayfish.
When Auntie Leah glowered at them,
hauled them off the tank,
snatched the remaining kai moana from little hands,
and wiped the seafood drool from tiny chins,
the kids looked at her innocently
as she told them off for touching the feel good tank,
when the littlest one said...
"But it feels good in my tummy Auntie!"
True story.
