92     Inflatable sheep

 

He asked me about inflatable sheep

I didn’t know what to say

He was 9 years old ‘I know you cant eat them’ he said ‘are they just for play?’

‘yes’ I replied, ‘but you have enough toys already and you may think it a strange game’

‘I don’t care’ he replied ‘ I just want one, I’ve even thought of a name’

Now you see my dilemma

Surely to buy an inflatable sheep for a 9 year old is wrong

Plus it’s out of line that he should get one when I haven’t got one

Yes I know I shouldn’t have done what I did and you’re gonna think that’s cringe

But I asked him ‘what would you call it?’

He said ‘Baaaaaaaaabra’

I couldn’t help it.

I went an got him the dam thing
