Lisa had the flattest nose I had ever seen at the age of 8, and that made her the cutest girl I had ever seen. When I think about it later I realise she probably would have looked like something out of a Miffy book, almost totally devoid of prominent facial features. Anyway, she once asked me,
“What do you get when you fall in love?”
“I dunno.” Hoping that the answer was something like “YOU”.
And she said,
“Dog food.”
And I didn’t get it ‘cause we didn’t have pets at our house and I wasn’t allowed to watch commercial telly so I didn’t know there was a big brand of yellow can with a dog on it that said Luv.
She walked away saying something like “That was the biggest spazzy I ever told a joke to.”
And I blame her for one of the worst nut-jobs I ever got. I was running around the corner really fast and she was skipping rope with her mates and even though she said it wasn’t on purpose, she flicked her wooden handled skipping rope, so that it got me right in the balls. That was the first time I ever threw up at school.
