Poor BB - for the second time in just over a week he is having it explained to him that one of his parents won't be home as expected from offshore. Last week BFS stayed on an extra day as his relief had a funeral - and here I am today unable to check-in due to Volcanic Ash in the airspace above Britain!!! Now really?
BB doesn't even know what a volcano is - never mind comprehending the fact that one errupted hundreds of miles away from his house and somehow - due to good old mother nature - it's ashes have blown all the way over here and stopping Mummy's helicopter from taking her home. All he knows is that Mummy should be coming home today - and now she maybe not.
Then again - if he takes it in his stride the way that he took the news Daddy was going to be late home - then we'll be fine.......he'll just shrug his shoulders and ask to go to the park!
When I called BFS to tell him the news, I was informed he'd only gotten 1 hours sleep last night - can't wait to hear the reason for that! (I think I may be mum of one by the time I hit solid ground again............)
I'll cover the reasons for lack of sleep in a blog of my own....
ReplyDeleteBB thinks that the sky is broken, and planes can't fly on a broken sky, can they? He now knows about volcanoes, Iceland and I'm not far from sharing Sir Frank Whittle's teachings with him.....
Let's just hope it gets fixed before he gets his turn in the aeroplane...
