Dis-Harmony

Recently Little Monkey has started this amusing dialogue on car trips.

'Are we there yet?'

[pause]

'Are we there yet?'

[pause]

'Are we there yet?'

[pause]

[longer pause]

'How 'bout now?'

[pause]

'How 'bout now?'

[pause]

[even longer pause]

'Now?'

[PEALS of laughter]

[repeat joke]

'Are we there yet?'

[sigh, and my head hits the steering wheel]

She saw it on some cartoon or other. You can imagine that it's endlessly hilarious to her. Slightly less so to me.

She especially likes to start it when we're only 2 minutes into the journey.

In any case, I mention it because of this:

'See anything wrong with this picture?'



'How 'bout now?'

'Now?'

Shocking innit?

I had been carrying them in my handbag for out-and-about-knitting and they must have got caught up in a keyring or something and snapped. Tragedy.

I have carefully preserved the tip for some reconstructive surgery involving wood glue and some sandpaper.

I am hopeful.

Bloody but unbowed.
