Mrs TK works in the local primary school and has a lot of laughs with the kids there and some of the things they say.
The other day she was on duty in the playground when one of the younger girls came up to her, full of excitement.
"Mrs TK, Mrs TK. Come and see my grandfather!"
Thinking that she was going to see some elderly gentleman leaning over the school gate smiling indulgently at his favourite granddaughter Mrs TK followed the little girl round the corner of the school.
Coming to a muddy patch of ground the little girl started jumping for joy, pointing excitedly at the ground and exclaiming "Look, look. It's my grandfather, he's come to see me!". Looking down Mrs TK discovered that the source of this unbridled joy was a large wriggly earthworm.
The little girl went on to explain, "It's my grandfather Mrs TK. He died and my mummy said that when people die they sometimes come back as animals and things and this is my grandfather and he's come back to see me and I am so happy to see him it's my grandfather it's my grandfather , it is, it is!"
Mrs TK said she was very pleased to meet the little girls grandfather, made her excuses, and left the little girl playing happily and introducing her friends to the wriggly creature.
Sadly, some time later, the little girl appeared at Mrs TK's side. Gone was the exhuberant, happy face, now the child was in floods of tears...
"Oh Mrs TK, it's terrible. Someone has thrown my grandfather into the stream..."
Oh the cruelty of children! Cue two minute pep talk about how worms can swim and how her grandfather would now be happy and having fun swimming around in the big river...
Just lucky that nobody stamped on him or cut him in half, that would have been far more difficult to explain!

Shocking Behaviour
Love this news story from Reuters :
Police in central England are hunting for a badly scorched would-be copper power cable thief after finding a hacksaw embedded in an 11,000 volt power cable Saturday night.
The thief, who also left a lit blow torch at the scene, is expected to be badly charred, spiky haired and not exactly the brightest bulb in the socket.

Quick Lyric Snippet
This one came on whilst I was driving home last night...
Can you identify the song? (It's easy, this one)
Whistling tunes
We're kissing baboons
In the jungle
Usual rules - answers in the comments please, and no Googling!

What's It All About, Ashley?
Classic line from the commentator on the Portsmouth v Chelsea game last night.
"Ashley Cole has been getting stick for the whole game. That's what you have to expect when you're playing away from home!"
Chortle Chortle...

Too Much Monkey Business
Last night in Tomahawk Towers the Wee Fella came running in to the kitchen to tell Mrs TK something...
"Mum, I've just seen an advert on tv for a game that I would like to get for my Wii"
"Really? What game is that then?"
"It's called Donkey Dong and it looks really good"
Cue raised eyebrows and stifled laughter...
