Strange subject I know.
Today was Enable Scotland’s 60th birthday.
This is a charity that lets disabled people get easy jobs suitable for the level of processing power available.
Because the banks have stolen all the money, things like this have to be cancelled.
So Bryn no longer has a job.
So Mum is making a double layered cake with fancy writing on it saying “ Well done for getting to 60” because the last annual meeting is happening, it’s a bit sad.
She found some balloons. Or bought them. Or Rachel bought them for a laugh, we will never know. When dealing with old people , information gets lost. While Morven and my Mum were icing the cake, I noticed the balloons in a packet on the evil microwave.
While making my tea, I commented , "Why do you have some phallic balloons?"
The icing stopped.
After closer examination it was confirmed that the balloons were indeed phallic.
Tag line was “ fully erect balloons”
Mum, why do you have phallic balloons?
What?
Much hilarity ensued in an otherwise not so happy time.
She said maybe she should take them anyway and explain the situation just for a laugh.
Meanwhile Alexander had sneaked in and had obviously picked up on the girly laughter.
“What’s wrong with the balloons?”
pause.
um. they are the wrong shape.
“Why is the shape wrong?”
It’s not appropriate.
Then I just started talking all technical and all the balloons deflated...
Life is a laugh.
Or it should be.
