Well, I did NOT see that one coming! It’s as unexpected as an inland jelly tsunami, which sounds like a good thing until you’re buried under 16 tonnes of raspberry jelly for the next 435 years. I mean, it’s NOT really our fault that we thought the photocopier repairman was Noel Templestein, and you have to admit that Greg Toogle’s mum does look a lot like Kitty Templestein if you shut your eyes. But seriously, those adults should never have come with us in the first place! Everyone always tells kids ‘NEVER GO WITH RANDOM ADULTS’, but apparently no one ever says to adults ‘NEVER GO WITH RANDOM KIDS’. Well, obviously they should know better! You can just say, ‘we’re here to collect you’ to any adult and they’ll just follow you like sheep! (Although sheep don’t actually do that, sadly – I HAVE TRIED!)
Seriously, haven’t adults ever heard of Stranger Danger???
Anyway, I have to admit I really did enjoy hearing the photocopier man’s talk on how to fix a paper jam and how choosing a reputable toner and ink can make ALL the difference to your printing needs. Simply fascinating! And probably quite useful to my space exploration. I guess, since I’m no longer a library monitor, I’ll have plenty of time to get right back into all my space travel. Only problem of course is that NOW I won’t be able to borrow any more books on space, which will make it very difficult and VERY dangerous. So come to think of it, not being able to borrow books could endanger my life!
Yours concerningly,
Jimmy Cook
