Some Tim stories.
The Candle.
Timothy was looking at a candle of mine that is on it's last legs.
"Hey dad!" he said. "Remember that mosquito you killed and threw into the candle?"
Tim: "No."
Timothy: "Yeah dad, remember? You killed it then threw it into the candle to see what would happen?"
Tim: "I believe I just said no."
Deny-ability. It's all about deny-ability.
The Doctor's Office
Tim had an eye irritation. He decided it had bugged him enough and went to the doctor. We decided to carve out about 45 minutes for this, since we have never been there before.
He walked in, gave them his national insurance card. They asked if he had been there before. No? Please fill out this paperwork. Two minutes later, we gave them the paperwork, handed them our 150NT (about $5) and the nurse told us to wait. Before we could sit, we heard a "ding-dong" much like a door bell. We looked at the computer screen, and there was T's name flashing. He walked around the corner to see the doctor.
"You have pink eye," the doctor said.
"OK" T said.
"Do you have allergies to medicine?"
"No."
"OK. Use these drops four times a day. Don't swim."
"OK. Thank you."
And we were out. Five minutes. How about them apples?
