I would get as far as packing the bag then I'd remember I need to eat and I need a blanket for bed time because it's cold outside, by then I'd lose all my anger and go back to playing.<br /><br />My little brother on the other hand used to crack the poops, drag his mattress off his bed and try to run to the scrub land across the road from our house. I lost count of the amount of times I had to wrestle his mattress from him.<br /><br />And happy father's day to Mr De Elba.singlemumplusonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051328458409204822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-7210791667379821672012-09-02T23:11:41.432+10:002012-09-02T23:11:41.432+10:00Oh that's funny!

I went storming into my room to pack. Two minutes later I came charging out again and demanded, "Alright... where are my singlets??"

Apparently it was officially launched as "Father's Day" because the creator wanted each person to think about their own father (singular) when celebrating it, rather than a lot of fathers in general. Then she tried to change it, but it was a done deal according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father%27s_Day#SpellingGivinya De Elbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746896375826415145noreply@blogger.com
