Sushi
But what if the other people there pick on me?
I said in my best whiney voice as if I were a Vegan harassing a cheesemonger.
The good lady rolled her eyes heavenwards.
Who the heck would pick on you, you are a grown man. This isn't school?!
I kicked at one of the kid's toys on the floor. It made a strangled clucking sound and chugged away on three brightly coloured wheels. I contemplated chasing it and throwing it angrily against the wall but saw the way the good lady was looking at me and decided against it.
Hmmph. Well, what if the place is full of single chicks and they all hit on me and chase me about with their vinegary ham funnels?
You would be so bloody lucky.
Laughed the good lady.
I puffed up my chest as if I were an angry little dog looking at its own reflection in a puddle.
It could happen. I could come home caked in another woman's fanny juice, my hair all spiky with it. Who would be laughing then? You wouldn't.
The good lady sighed.
You are right, I wouldn't be best pleased if you came home caked in, ahem, 'fanny juice...'
The good lady made a face as if wondering how and where she had picked up something like me.
But that isn't going to happen because you love and respect me and your little family.
The good lady added with a happy smile.
I scuffed my foot against a loose bit of carpet.
Well, what if me and some dude end up going to the pub and I get hilariously pished and roll in at three in the morning stinking of cigarettes, whiskey and kebabs?
The good lady threw one of the kid's balls at my head. It doinked off gently and fell to the floor.
Daddy-Bear. None of these things is going to happen. You are going to go to the Sushi making class that I got you for your birthday and you will really enjoy it because you love making things.
What if there is an earthquake and I plummet down a crack into the heart of the underworld and by the time I fight my way out against a horde of the nether dwelling undead, many years have passed and you are an old crone and I haven't aged a single day?
She stared at me, her gaze as flat as a freshly ironed thing.
Daddy, get your jacket and just go.
She pointed at the door.
I made a big huffing noise.
Fine. I will. I won't enjoy it though. You'll see!
I got my jacket and left for my Sushi making class.
Some hours later I returned, victoriously carrying a bag full of exotically made sushi.
The good lady looked at my big cheery face and smiled.
Hey, you're back, oh my and this all looks delicious! Did you enjoy it then?
I tried to reign in my big cheery grin.
Maybe...
Oh!!! Throw me that salmon roll on the left, will you?
Who knew that you could be so creative in the sushi-making arena? Color me impressed, dude! Oh, doth you protest too much, next time, just go, then bitterly complain when you get home.
Reverse whining. And they do look awesome!
!tip
Reverse whining it is, I am sure I can manage that!! Hehe. And thank you!!
So is it now going to be sushi Thursdays with Uncle Boom?The sushi looks fantastic even though I have never eaten it by the way.Thank you for the sbi's yesterday I honestly had no idea and both stories were plausible. I just know you ain't normal so went for the whackiest one.
Hehe, you're welcome! the whackier one is always an option with me. I must reneger that for future!!
Sushi Thursdays. Ah that would be funny!
Look at that frown turned upside down..... very good looking. The sushi looks nice too hahahaha
Hehe, I agree, there are some smashers in that picture! :0D
O wow this is excellent . I love sushi and I actually also want to do a class but then I wondered will it be worth it, but if I look at you it is awesome.
It is totally worth it! And write a bit of fun to make them!
Very nice !
It's a wonder some birds didn't take it away from you on the way home. snicker
I admit too..... I have never eaten any.
It's very nice, and bird free!! :0D
Did you seriously whine about going to a sushi making class XD Results look great :D
I did, I was like, wah, I don't wanna go!!
It was very silly because it was fab!
If I were the good lady I would be so exasperated with you but as I’m not I can safely just laugh my arse off 🤣
Ehh good lady was probably laughing her arse off too 🤣

I think she was, she knows me better than I know myself I think!
板前 Boom. Who'd have thunk.
Nobody thunk it, does that mean it didn't happen!?
Those look incredibly tasty!!!
I hope they tasted as good as they look!!
They did! I was quite impressed at the end up myself and it was a whole lot of fun!
Rule number 1, 2 and 3.
Always listen to the good lady.
I always have trouble with rule number 2...
Haha. I'm usually the same.
Listen the first time ..
... she can't possibly be right again ...
Listen carefully the third time ... because she was.
That's the wood thing that inevitably they are!?! Unless it's about soldering :0)
The good lady knows you better then you know yourself! haha
So, we going to get some Sushi-making tutorials soon @meesterboom? It would be really cool!
Lol, I think my days of food tutorials are behind me!! But you never know ;0)
Wow, good on ya, @meesterboom that looks SO good.
I had to laugh as I wondered, is there, somewhere in Japan, a couple doing this same thing, but the Japanese husband is going to his "Haggis and Fried Mars Bar" making class...I lolled at myself just there. :)
Also, good name tag.
HAHAHAHA! I can almost see it myself, except the mats bar thing, it was never a thing. Nobody eats them, it was like a dare fora newspaper and then it went viral. Everyone thinks they are disgusting!!
But yeah, I can see it :0D
