Earlier this morning, out and about, driving around in the car.
Shopping to be done, just a little, then to the playground, not our regular one but an old favourite, a special treat for The G, still a touch unwell and needing something to cheer.
Good times - better than normal, in fact, The W, taking a little annual leave, leading us on our expedition - but, lunchtime approaching, back to the car to start heading home.
En route, The B looking out of his window, seeing what he could spot, road signs, other cars, unusual dogs, all the normal stuff.
Slowing down for a junction, I spotted a police car, parked at the pavement, so far unnoticed from the back seats.
"Police car," I said, pointing it out as I passed.
The B looked out and noted said vehicle.
"Pigs," said The G.
Stunned silence in the car.
I thought I must have misheard so I asked her to repeat herself.
She looked up and paused for a moment.
"Oink, oink," she said.
It soon transpired that, unknown to us, The G was, in the back, somewhat engrossed in her newly-acquired Peppa Pig magazine, and had not even noticed the parked police car.
Still, the timing had been impeccable and, as all good comedians appreciate, you just can't buy that.

Ha nothing like toddler comic timing! Bet you were worried for a second though what tv programme they were watching whilst your back was turned.... Bit of csi perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThat is brilliant! Are you sure she hasn't secretly been watching your 'Young Ones' DVDs?!
