Cuckoo Land ~ Part I

CHRIS : I was in the tote earlier .

I look up from the book I'm reading , wait patiently ……

CHRIS : … without Joey …

ME : Okaaaay . (I know there's more coming … know the signs …)

CHRIS : He pitched up . Voice raised . Loud as ever .

ME : Okaaaay . (Getting interesting , never a dull moment with these two)

CHRIS : Found me there – without him !

ME : Uh oh ! (I smell trouble brewing .)

CHRIS : Telling everyone who will listen , how he had to catch a kombi to the tote .

ME : (lapse into silent mode … it's best …)

CHRIS : He's proclaiming loudly for the entire world to hear , hands thrown dramatically into the air … "When days are dark , friends are few !" And gesticulating wildly …

For those of you who don't know Joey , I refer you to the earlier blog postings ( http://writer-in-transit.co.za/chris-j-t-oddballs/ and http://writer-in-transit.co.za/b/ ) Read them carefully , and then you'll have an idea of what you're dealing with !

Meanwhile … I sit back … arms folded … wait for the story …

SINCE THIS WILL TAKE MUCH LONGER THAN I THOUGHT ~ YOU'LL HAVE TO CATCH PART II LATER THIS EVENING !!
