Can you be such a smart-arse at 8 and still make it to your 9th birthday?

Picture this...

I am standing at the checkout of a major supermaket chain at 5.00 pm. The place is packed. I have bought a few items for dinner that evening, among them, a 500 ml bottle of chocolate milk for Dace.

I pay for the groceries. Dace snatches the chocolate milk out of the bag, but can't get the lid off.

Did I mention I am wearing a white jacket?

He hands me the milk, with the request that I open it for him.

I told you I was wearing white, didn't I?

You can guess what happened next. I open the choccie milk. It goes everywhere... all over me, all over my glasses, the floor and, more importantly, all over my white jacket...

I am standing there, in the middle of the supermarket, literally dripping in chocolate milk.

Dace's comment?

Without missing a beat, he eyes me up and down and says, "Damn. Now there's only 400 ml."

Comments

Damn he's good.


ROFL!

But how did he know how much had spilt?


I would have dumped the remaining 100 ml on him, just so he could share on your chocolaty fun. :P


He'll make it to nine, but I doubt he'll survive puberty. :) That mouth may get him beaten to a pulp. How fast can he run?

And if he get's to be an adult, he's a shoo-in for Prime Minister. Except he is probably too intelligent for politics.


ha ha ha ha! I had the pleasure of meeting Dace on sunday, he was buying a drink from me and your right, he gets very excited over his beverages...i loved the NYPD Blue T shirt too!


Now I am wondering was it Coles or Woolworths. Because if it was Coles you would have been standing dripping in chocolate milk for half an hour before you got out.
