Good Times?



Still have a job, as does everybody in Exhibits. Some people won’t be as lucky today.
All salaried staff are now 36 hour employees (ie. 10% pay cut).
Got back to my desk and was listening to Dick Tater and the Czarina's weekly radio show.
They were playing “Good Times” by Chic.

Jake loves cleaning and prepping.

Teeth

 

Lots of them.

Getting ready for a throw in - time to visualize...

A is for.....Admiral Akbar!




So Jake and I are reading before lights out last night.

He chose "Zoe and Her Zebra" - one of those alphabet book where each page has an animal with a different initial letter. Each page also has a like lettered kid being "chased" by said animal.

So we're on B....

I'm pointing to the words and Jake is slowly reading...

"B....is...for....Ben...but who....is...chasing......him?"

Rather than go for the obvious (and pictured) animal Jake goes with an alternative that works.

"BANTHA !"

I love that kid. He was remembering when I showed him this:
