A walk to the park

Had a great afternoon out today’ just thought I let you know about the first part of the afternoon out.

 On the way back home got to thinking would I ever swap all this’, for a life with Madonna? The answer was--- well maybe there could be some sort of compromise; only joking.

We set ‘off’, destination the local park! Before stepping outside into the fresh afternoon air; last minute checks are carried out by yours ‘truly’, using my loud stern’ gravely voice of ‘authority’’ ‘Ruth’ (10 year old daughter) ‘Katie’ (Ruth’s best friend) DO YOU NEED A WEE BEFORE WE GO!- NOoooo dad can we just go; ‘Right’ I say; (a bit John Cleese like) and remind them both of the do’s and don’ts for the afternoon outing.

As we walk along the path Katie informs Ruth that if you go into Sainsbury’s and say happy Easter to any of the staff they will give you a free Cadbury’s cream egg; ‘what’ was that you said Katie; I asked; Katie repeated; my mum told me this morning that if you go into Sainsbury’s and wish a member of staff happy Easter they will give you a cream egg, did you say cream egg? YES God your dads deaf Ruth both of them now giggling.

 As we only live a five minute walk from Sainsbury’s and it’s also on the way to the park I ask the girls if they would like to pop into Sainsbury’s to find out if the cream egg thing is true, an expected yes is the answer.

On entering the super market I join the queue to the cigarette counter and the girls ask if it’s ok for them to go and find a member of staff so they can wish them happy Easter and collect there cream egg I nod a smiling yes to them as they dash off in hop pursuit of an orange uniform.

The lady behind the cigarette counter asked me what I would like’ only giving her half of my attention due to the fact of trying to keep one eye on where the girls are; I ask for some cigarette papers and tips, it’s then I notice the girls running back toward me excitedly holding a cream egg each in there hands; turning quickly to the lady behind the counter’ now handing me my change I say thank-you; ‘happy Easter’ she smiles back saying ‘Thanks’.

I’m still standing there at the front of the queue smiling at her and nodding my head she says; anything else; ah’ no’ ‘no’ that’s great thanks, I’m thinking that it must be certain members of staff that must be walking around the store with boxes of delicious cream eggs.

 I question the girls; who gave you your eggs’ that lady there behind the customer services counter, good; I know her, I walk over hands in pockets smiling and saying happy ‘Easter’ frowning her eye brows and smirking she informed me’ now Kenty I know you are over the age of 12 years and these free eggs are for kids only, laughing it off; of course I knew that, was just messing about.
