Story time

I over heard some of OH's story to little bear tonight. Apparently Little Red Riding Hood was on her way to Granny's when she stumbled across the Big Bad Dalek.

'What big antenna you have.'
'All the better to pick up interstellar communication.'
What a big eyestalk you have.'
'All the better to scan all spectrums from ultra violet to infra red.'
'What a big gun you have.'
'All the better to exterminate you...'

On another level, the local paper has had pictures of all the reception classes in the city. Lots of copies to sell to doting mums, dads, grandads, grans, aunties, uncles etc. You could barely recognise little bear as his face, along with all the other kids, was screwed up against a flash. He was, however, seated between two girls. Who were both looking at him. I dread to think what he would have just said, probably 'Geronimo' but possibly 'Exterminate'.

I won't be keeping the picture. I will, of course, be keeping the print from the school photos. Forever, probably.
