And there I was, another Friday night at the nursery
I was used to never being asked for ID when collecting Demigod, as the poor soul looks just like me. But this was a surprise...

I arrived as usual on a Friday, weekend all planned and ready. I knocked on the door, and waited. A nursery nurse opened the door, looked at me, and fell about laughing. This is not unusual for me, but still something of a surprise.

I asked what was happening this week, but she was too helpless with laughter to tell me.

I went through the nursery looking for Demigod, and wondering about the trail of laughing nursery nurses. I eventually got to the room at the back and found him. He ran over and grabbed me, and I picked him up. I asked the manageress what the joke was.

She explained that that day's activities was talking about what Mommy and Daddy do while the kids are at nursery. Apparently, Demigod had told them that his Daddy spends his days "Making poorly computers feel better!"

After many hours in IT, I can't think of a better way to describe what I do.

I went to pick up my kids at day care
and they insisted that I go back and get my son in person. Mystified, I complied, to find that the woman in charge of that room looking at me oddly. "You're all right, then?"

I looked oddly back at her. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because your son told me you wouldn't be picking him up today because this morning you were shaving and electrocuted your face."

No idea where that came from. I use a blade.
