Quite Big

She’s quite big now, isn’t she?
Yep.
I mean, she’s grown a lot since we got her, don’t you think?
Yep.
Do you think it’s because she eats so much?
Yep.
Her appetite is fairly gargantuan, isn’t it?
Yep.
Did you expect her to grow to be this huge, way back when?
Nope.
So you thought she’d be more sort of, let’s say, this size?
Yep.
There’s not much we can do about it now, is there?
Nope.
I mean, we have to keep feeding her, don’t we?
Yep.
So, what do you think she is?

About ceayr

A Scot who has discovered peace in a small town he calls Medville on the Côte Vermeille, C.E. Ayr has spent a large part of his life in the West of Scotland and a large part elsewhere. His first job was selling programmes at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success. He is somewhat nomadic, fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random. So, nobody’s perfect.
