Words fail me

"Dad," Yes my little India Princess. "Dad, dad, dad," Yes, then the rest comes out; "Goo, coo, gluck."

It's so 'strating, I know all the words but I can't get them to make the right noises. I can say "dad" and "mum" and that's it.

I want to be able to explain to him when he shouts "no", that I need the scissors. for cutting my brother's school books.

I get fed up waiting until he's not looking before I pull half the c.d.s from the rack to make a ladder from the rest. How else am I to climb up on the cabinet? I'm too little reach otherwise.

He's always watching. I never get the chance to do fun stuff while he's around. I wish he would 'bugger off for some peace and quiet' like he says he will.

WATER WORKS NOW

Gung has finally shown up and fixed the water pump that dad managed to mess up. So now he can have a hot shower, and stop complaining.

It was dead exciting watching Gung pull all the pipes up from under the ground. There were mile of them. Then he pumped all the sand out with his derrick van (derrick is a winch scaffold, not the name of his van).

He made a terrible mess everywhere but dad didn't shout at him. I 'pect he was looking forward to the first hot shower after a week of washing in rain water. and didn't want Gung going off in a huff.

Mum came back after he'd finished and gone. She asked; "how much?" dad replied; "He didn't say."

Mum went to see Gung, and pay him. When she got back she said she'd given him 300 baht. "That's cheap" said dad. "Well I asked him what he wanted and he just said "Whatever." so I gave him 300 baht."

Ten minutes later, Gung's wife zoomed up on her motor bike and shouted at mum for only giving him 300 baht.

"I want another thousand." she said. Well you don't shout at my mum. Not even dad is allowed to do that.

I can't think where mum got the words from. It wasn't me, I can't talk. And I don't want Ellie writing again to say I shouldn't use such words in my blog, so you will just have to use your 'maginations.

One things for sure; Gung won't be getting another 1000 baht.
