So yesterday I picked up Kevin from work, he got in the car and I noticed he has something on his cheek and wiped it off. He said, “It’s probably saw dust.” Huh??? How does a “professional geek” get saw dust on himself at work? Well I asked, probably more with a quizzical look and cock of the head than anything verbal, and he said, “I was moving workstations, and I drilled a hole in my desk.”
So Michael pipes up from the backseat “Did you get in trouble?”
As usual, it took me too long to put two and two together, then it took a few minutes to stop giggling as I explained that it was OK for Daddy to drill holes in his desk, because he had permission, and he was fixing things to work better, not braking them, but it wouldn’t be OK for a student to do that…
It’s funny how two things can be so different yet so similar… I guess it depends on your perspective.
