Terrible two

As soon as I was able to get out and about, I had a good think about what I was going to do with my life. I was a pretty grounded kind of kid.

What career should I take up?

Football?

 

 

Chris with propeller

 

 

 

 

Pilot?

I got Mum to explain the pilot thing to me

 

 

but the proximity of the pool was a bit distracting

Maybe a deep sea diver?

or underwater pilot?

 

 

Chris tastes ice cream

 

 

 

Then she introduced me to ice cream, and I forgot everything else!

 

 

 

Around that time I was disappointed to find that I could not walk on water

But then realised the trick is to choose very shallow water.

I had quite a nice day at the seaside

 

 

 

 

and my mum seemed glad to be there with me.
