World Cup win & Little Blog’s new career
Little Blog has been unstoppable since waking up this morning and discovering that South Africa won the rugby World Cup.
“Just like I said they will!” she crows to anyone who will listen.
She also believes that this heralds a new career: “I can tell you who is going to win anything from now on!”
Now everyone wants to test her.
Dad: “Who’s going to be the Formula 1 world champion, Little Blog?”
Little Blog: “Who can I choose from, Daddy?”
Dad: “Hamilton, Alonso and Raikkonen.”
Little Blog: “I think it’s Hamilton. I know how to say his name.”
Mom: “Who’s going to win Wimbledon?”
Little Blog: “A tennis player!”
Sunshine, her big sister: “Wow, Little Blog, you should take bets.”
Dad: “Yes, Little Blog, you’re a regular little bookmaker.”
Little Blog: “That’s what I want to be! A bookmaker!”
Mom decides this may be going a little too far: “No bookmakers in our house, thank you.”
Little Blog suddenly wails: “That’s not faaaaair!”
“Why not, Little Blog?” asks a mystified Mom.
Little Blog: “Because Sunshine wants to be a book writer and nobody said she can’t. Now I want to be a book maker and I’m not allowed!”
