What was she talking about!
We were in Wickes.
We’d been training with Freddie and needed to do a spot of shopping on the way back.
First a birthday present for my father-in-law – a nice bottle of Tullibardine whisky 🥃
Then Freddie had his first trip into Pets At Home. His collar is getting a little tight, so time for an upgrade.
And next onto Wickes. We have a leaky tap in the kitchen so wanted to see if they had a washer.
As they’re dog friendly we could take Freddie in with us and he was impeccably behaved as we wandered around.
We found ourselves in the queue for the checkouts, not for what we went in for though, as they didn’t sell parts.
Freddie sat very quietly watching what was going on.
Suddenly we heard a little girl, who was with her dad in the queue behind us, say:
“Daddy, what is that wiggly worm?”
Looking at Freddie it was obvious what she was talking about!
Her dad tried to ignore her, pretending he hadn’t heard, but the girl repeated her question.
At this point we reached the front of the queue, so didn’t get to hear how the conversation ended. 😂
I believe in being up front about these things, and I’ve certainly experienced this a number of times when my girls were little.
I also believe in being honest when it comes to business.
Sometime the truth can be uncomfortable (although not always embarrassing as well), but you can be sure that I won’t skirt around the issues that matter if we work together.
