This afternoon, Louis and I were out the front. He was playing in a garden bed with his electric toothbrush (don't ask). I was cutting back the lavender.
A man ran past, out for a jog. A man wearing flourescent orange, lycra bike shorts and t-shirt. Worn, with flourescent orange shoes. I shit you not! I was literally open -mouthed stunned. To make matters worse, he was absolutely emaciated. He looked like a baggy-arsed, radioactive, carrot stick.
Louis: 'Wow, Mummy!"
Me: "No kidding honey" still staring at the man.
Louis: "He has a windscreen wiper on the back!"
Me: Huh! Wha? Turn to look at Louis.
Louis was looking at a station wagon driving up the street. It had a rear windscreen wiper. He simply did NOT see carrot man at all! Just goes to show how low down the totem pole humans are, no matter how colourful!

Doesn't everyone play with their electric toothbrushes in the garden? What else would you do with them.
