Daily happenings
A little boy in my infant class came into school and told me he could spell his mum’s name.
“M-U-M,” he said proudly. Before I could congratulate him, another little boy said excitedly, “That’s how you spell my mum’s name too!”
When I returned a recipe book to my local library, the librarian noticed there was water damage to the book and asked me to pay for it. I agreed, but as I wasn’t carrying any money, I said I would pay next time I was in.
There was a different librarian on duty the next day when I dropped by with the money. She swiped my library card and my account came up on the computer screen.
In the “notes” section, it read: “Customer says he’ll hand in the $20 next time, but I don’t think he will.”
My uncle was a tour guide for a 16th-century castle just near Leuchars airfield in Fife, Scotland.
One day, while speaking to a group of American tourists, a jet plane flew overhead.
The noise was very loud and prompted one of the party to comment that he couldn’t understand why the castle had been built so near an airfield!
My husband recently answered his work phone and heard someone start a familiar pitch about upgrading his computer software.
A few seconds later the other office line rang and it was another cold caller, this one trying to sell life insurance.
“Just a moment,” my husband said, and pushed the conference-call button connecting the two lines together.
