Last week, my work did an update which finished off with Alicia Keys playing a few songs. It was quite surreal having her playing in my ‘office’ (aka bedroom).
My daughter sitting on my knee for ‘Girl on fire’ was pretty inspiring.
My son then walked in and broke down when he realised that dad was out and he only had me to solve the problem of a too large glue stick for a glue gun needed to complete his rocket homework assignment.
Luckily with a knife and a cutting board anything is achievable (the potato peeler was quickly discarded, and I can confirm no one ate the ‘cheese’).
It was at the point of gluing one of the thrusters to the rocket (successfully I might add) that he observed he had not asked me to help sooner as I am “not very detailed or precise”.
I replied that actually people at my work probably think I am fairly detailed and precise.
He looked slightly aghast and replied “That surprises me mum.”
Obviously, my Lego Avoidance strategy has been extremely successful!
