In Which Joel Earns Paternal Approval
Dad and Joel both relayed this story to me in the past few days... what you get here is an amalgamation of the two :)
Last week, Joel came home from school, and said unto his mother:
I've got an N in my diary, Mum.
Why did he have this N, you ask?
Well... Jono and I were laughing in school chapel. The guy was up the front prancing around, going on about how he'd been such a good Christian at school and how the school would've been so much better if everyone was fantastic like him.
Anyway, we were laughing and we got called to Mrs Bryan's office afterwards. And so we're going to her office, and Jono says to me:
Hey Joel! let's drag our legs and talk like pirates! and he turns to Mr Bosco and says Yarr, Mr Bosco, How be ye??
We get to Bryan's office and Jono limps in and says Avast! Mrs Bryan!
And she ignores him and says to me: So, Joel, you think school chapel is funny, do you?
and I said: well, yeah, since you ask, i do.
and she got all cranky and i got an N in my diary. And then she turns to Jono and says, Thanks for your politeness Jono, and lets him go!
Oh, by the way, mum, you have to sign in my diary, she left a note saying what i'd done.
Dad is by this time rolling around on the floor. He begs and pleads to be allowed to sign the diary. Mum, wise woman that she is, witholds the diary, demanding to know what he's going to write. Dad eventually admits to his intention to inscribe therein That's my boy! Keep up the good work Joel!

Pity more people don't see the value of humour in chapel and such... you think God actually wants us to mope around all the time?
