Small Talk #45

by

I'm getting the hang of this talking lark. The Olds and Ancients have started to realise I understand a lot of what they say, especially when it's about me! But look, I'm talking too!

"He's talking now," Mummy says to Granny, "but who knows what? It's gibberish! Haha!"

Now look here you lot. I can understand you, but you can't understand my gibberish. Despite that, you still think you're pretty smart. Taking the piss again!

"He's definitely talking... nineteen to the dozen now."

You bet I am. And I must be really clever because I've never even been to Gibber!

    You might not like Gibber if you went there, Drew. It's full of rubbish!

    Thanks for reading.

    That last line is brilliant. I've missed these drabbles! This would make a great comic strip in the newspaper.

    Thanks, Christopher, now that's an idea! Coincidentally, I'm trying to find a cartoonist to illustrate them for a small book right now.... hopefully to appeal to new mums and grandmums.
