Not Bored Yet

"Away and play wi' the cars on the motorway!"

That used to be our mum's stock reply as soon as any of us hit her with the first "I'm bored" of the summer holidays. Was just enough chaff to scatter and confuse us for a bit, trying to work out if she meant with the actual cars on there, or to take our own scuffed and tatty Matchbox and Hot Wheels collection out there and play with them on the road. Backfired when it inspired us to go out and dig a nice road network of channels through the auld man's precious back garden. That pleased him no end when he returned from his hard shift down t' mill.

I did it today though, went out and played with the cars on the motorway. Not bored yet.
