“Dad its about time you had a forfeit.”
****Hawklad knows me far too well. If you fancy beating someone at a challenge then I’m your man****
That’s assuming Son that you can beat your Dad.
“That’s a given Dad”
Ok I’m on a losing streak which is running well over 7 years. But maybe today is MY day. So what am I going to beat you at. FIFA, Kerplunk, Top Trumps, Table Football. Maybe even a race – remember your recovering from an operation (**** what an awful parent that makes me sound like ****).
“No Dad let’s do something completely different. Let’s pick a word and if I can get you to say it this afternoon – then I win.”
I’ve got this. What’s the word going to be? How about Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (****didn’t sound anything like that in my several attempts to say it*****).
“No, how about we make it interesting and make it something like Mmmmmmm”
Ok that’s a deal.
*************
“Dad where did we see Hollywood Vampires play?”
That was Manchester.
“Ha that was easy Mmmmmmanchester.”
I’m not having that Hawklad. Doesn’t count.
**************
“Dad which band did Ace of Spades?”
That’s Motörhead.
“Got you. Mmmmmmotorhead.”
No no no, not having that.
**************
“Dad what is the best comic book movie Universe?”
Definitely Marvel
“So easy, Mmmmmmmarvel”
No no no no no. Just No Hawklad.
***************
But finally I cracked. The Force is not strong with this Jedi Knight.
“Dad I’m starving, do you fancy a Chinese takeout?”
Mmmmmmmmm Mushroom Foo Yung. Mmmmmmmmmm Beancurd in Black Bean Sauce.
“Got you properly that time Dad.”
Pants…. So I take it that you don’t want a takeaway meal then.
“Of course not Dad.”
Ok Hawklad, what’s my forfeit then?
“Dad Tomorrow I’m going to make you a special drink in the kitchen. Let’s see what interesting ingredients I can find. Bet you won’t be saying Mmmmmmmm after you drink that.”
No I kinda figured that. Unless it’s ‘Phone me a Mmmmmmedic”
