Misleading Information

Today we had a few fun and games with power switches blowing up and co-incidentally our internet and telephone were out all morning due to a severed fibre-optic cable. I just happened to move the kettle to a new location and Mike looked at it and commented, "The teapot is grumpy." I moved around to his point of view and took a photo. Do you agree?

Mike just lately has been misled somewhat. Last Friday we went up to the lovely botanical gardens we discovered recently and on his wanderings he spotted a rainbow lorikeet. "What's that?" he asked Hubby. Hubby was in one of his silly moods and replied, "A crocodile." Yesterday Mike was explaining to Anika how pretend King Peter (a Lego figure) was getting a birthday present. "What is it?" she asked. His reply, "A crocodile bird with lots of colours."

Anika was the first to be on the receiving end of Hubby's silly moods. When she was fairly young she happened to notice that a certain what she called, "Christmas Man" appeared on cards and wrapping paper at Christmas time. We've never gone in for the Santa Claus thing so Hubby told her the "Christmas Man" was "John Calvin in a party suit." Anika kept believing this. One day I was walking down the main street of the town with young Anika and Lloyd and Anika spotted a "Santa Claus" on the street corner posing for photos with youngsters. "Look Mummy!", Anika exclaimed loudly, "It's John Calvin in a party suit!"
