My oh-so-dry daughter said 'Like a wasp you mean' and then we went
onto devices like a wasp gun that would first dispense a blob of jam
followed by half a dozen wasps fired backwards (that should also make
them suitably angry). ;-)

I read the vacuum cleaner bit out to her just now and she added that
said passing Chav could see what the cleaner ( full of wasps) could do
when set on blow .. like a wasp gatling gun .. or maybe (assuming the
cleaner was battery powered) find where he stops, gaffa tape his doors
up then blow the contents into the car, via the air intake. ;-)

I like your daughter!

Thanks Shelia ;-)

She's starting to find her own feet now ..

She has the idea of getting a holiday job and the local 'record' shop
seemed the ideal place (as she multi instrumentalist and is always
listening to music of all kinds). I popped in there just to check the
lay of the land and it turns out that they are laying folk off and
probably won't be there come Xmas (after 26 years). ;-(

Anyroad up she took herself into a couple of the charity shops (much
to our surprise) and after they had repeated 'you know you won't get
paid' several times and she was still interested it looks like she now
has something more to do in the hols, once a week at least ;-)

Oh and her Theremin kit arrived yesterday .. that should also keep her
occupied for a couple of hours, first building it and then playing it!
;-)

Like her Mum, I can see her getting into trouble though due to
injustice etc. She tends to stand up for the 'little guys' at school,
or those who have other issues not of their making ..(as long as they
are 'ok' in themselves though) and with her Tai-Quan-Do (green
stripe) she now has the confidence to say / do something when before
she might remain quiet. And woe betold anyone who litters in front of
her. Just like her mum the other Day who, without thinking, told this
huge leather clad biker to pick up his empty drink carton and put it
in the nearby bin .. luckily he just said 'sorry' and did! ;-)

She does make us laugh though .. (sometimes) ;-)

All the best ..
