Been *cof* shopping *cof* item bought.;)
Mum had been dropped in town by dad as she had an appointment at Scarsdale first - check up so asked it I would run her home. So I did. We gt to hers and no car! She was expecting dad to be in so she ferreted for her key then her front door opened - there's dad. Conversation went like this
Where's your car?
Dad glances at EMPTY drive - then at us then at empty drive
'It's been stolen'
Looks at drive again
THEN remembered he'd been for a paper - car at the shops so I ran him to the shop
HE HAD WALKED PAST HIS OWN CAR TO COME HOME!Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily Dickinson
