I'm listening to the 6pm news...

  and suddenly hear that awful, awful sound.

That childish voice. 

That monotone whine that could only belong to one person.

I grabbed the remote and muted him.

    It took me seconds, but I guessed correctly I think.

      Iris; that whiny voice! I'd expect that from a five year old being sent to his room.

      I NEVER expected him coming back at all!!! Any 5 year old is more mature, I think... How could that have happened... Tom has a great series of many countries making fun of him using his voice, but maybe you´d get very aggressive, LOL.

    I avoid that sound always. Can't imagine working with it going.

      Boud; I couldn't possibly work with that, I'd have to quit.

    How can any authority figure use thuggish, utterly threatening speech for half the time or more, and the monotonous whine the rest of the time??

    If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, I couldn't agree more.

Sunday Selections #757

 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally.

Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...
