So yesterday as I reach home and get out the car I see one of my neighbours kids playing in their back porch across the road. She is totally oblivious to my arrival, swinging a broomstick at a tree that overhung into her yard.
She is talking to herself and swinging the broomstick around and around ... totally engaged in whatever childhood fantasy she was having.
I decide to sneak up on her.
As I get closer and closer with ninja like stealth, I hear her counting: "Oonnee... Twoooo... Tweeee... "
At that point I grab the broomstick and say "FOOOUUUR !!"
Needless to say - she froze ...looked up ... and immediately put on her cry-face ...
And I shed tears of laughter ...
By that time she realised it was me ... and she started to laugh too [she didn't actually cry btw]
But her face was hilarious ... it was the classic little children's cry face ... mouth wide open and everything ...
After she started laughing as well and I was sure she wasn't traumatised I bid her farewell...
My job of being a menace to society completed for the day, I went home satisfied.
