Giraffe

My life often resembles an unused script from The Goon Show.

A Y6 child said to me earlier this week: 'Someone told me that when we die we get to choose what we will be in the next life.'

'What would you like to be?' I asked.

'A giraffe,' she replied.

'What if you couldn't be a giraffe? Then what would you like to be?'

She paused for a short time, before saying: 'Another giraffe.'

This is the sort of surreal humour everyone is born with, but which gets hammered out of most people...but, thankfully, not all people.

'What time is it, Eccles?'
