Distracting the driver?

My father didn’t drive (officially) but he did buy me a clockwork train set that ran on circular track.

He would get it out from time to time for me to play with. I had to put the track together and then he would set the train going.

I watched the train go round then he would wind it up and set it going again. Later, he acquired a more complex set up and i had to learn to put that together and he would wind up the engine, connect it up and set it going. he would change the points etc.

Just once I made a noise in my excitement and was firmly told “Be quiet! You’ll upset the driver!”

“Who’s the driver Daddy?”

“Me! ”

There was something very wrong there!

Nancy, I’ve met that dog before….. told it in the staff room but with a wife and m-in-law in the coffin…riot ensued…then I told the original version … and was accused of misrepresentation.

One time I had to go to a funeral at 6 AM. I shouldn't have been there. I'm not a mourning person. Haha I’ve heard it before too but it’s still funny. One time I had to go to a funeral at 6 AM.
