58 Hello?
So I have three days where I have to get up early...at 9am
Okay so for most people that is not all that early, but after a lifetime of going to bed as the sun comes,
9 am for me, is like the middle of everyone else's night.
I am tired, very tired. It is 3.35 pm and I have just got home. I look longingly at the reason for existence
but decide to leave the computer off and go to bed for some sleep.
4.14 pm. Ring-ring, ring-ring. ring-ring, ring-ring, ring-ring, I pick up the phone,
Me: "Yo!"
silence...
Oh No...
Just as I am about to hang-up a voice says: How are you doing?
Me: How am I doing, what?
Voice: pardon?
Me: You asked me how I am doing, but you didn't say what it was you wanted to know I was doing.
Voice: Doing?
Me: You must say what the doing is. I can't guess. Do you want to know how well I am doing the gardening?
Or do you want to know how well I do the dishes?
Or how well I do the naughty. I can tell you, I don't get too many complaints.
I don't do the garden, by the way.
Voice: I being polite.
Me: Hello Polite, I being Des.
Polite: No I am Shiram, being polite:
Me: How nice. I am Des being annoyed.
Polite now being Shiram: I knowing English.
Me: Who told you that?
Shiram: I did learning at school. I speak English. How are you doing?
Me: How am I doing, what?
Shiram: I don't understand.
Me: Admitting you don't understand is the first step to wisdom.
Shiram: This is not going right.
Me: No I suppose it isn't.
Shiram: I am having speech to say.
Me: Why is someone getting married?
Shiram: I am not married.
Me: you're not? Then who is getting married?
Shiram: Why is anyone marrying?
Me: That's what I say too. See I told you, you would get wisdom, all from just admitting you don't understand.
Shiram; Don't understand what?
Me: That I don't like being woken up by phone calls.
Shiram: Are you sleeping?
Me: Not at the moment.
Shiram: I am confused.
Me: I am tired.
Shiram: I am tiring too.
Me: We should go to bed.
CLICK!
Okay so we never got past the "Yo"
but I can fantasize a little can't I?
