I'm Wearing the Wrong Glasses

You know how it is when you get a thirst on. You'll drink anything that's available just to make your throat feel better. Well I had such a thirst on the other morning. I think it was because I had some new biscuits and they had cheese in the middle of them. Sebastian always says he can't eat cheese because it makes him dream while Max says too much cheese is bad for you but then he normally falls asleep and you never find out why it's bad for you.

It's a bit annoying when Max starts to tell you something which could be quite interesting or could help you later on in life and then he falls asleep. I sit there waiting for him to wake up and finish the story and when he does wake up he just says "Oh I forget now don't worry me with that!

Well back to my thirst.

I was looking for something to drink and I went first for the flower vase - that is nearly always a good place to go because the water is fairly old and green and stagnant and goes down well. Just my luck - the flowers were dead and had been thrown out and the vase stood there smirking at me proud to show me its emptiness.

I went to the sink and tried to flip the tap on. I have to hand it to the two legs - they must be fairly strong because I couldn't budge the tap - not even a trickle of water in the washing up bowl. Then I remembered - he always has a glass of water on his bedside table for when he wakes up in the night.

I climbed the stairs like an athlete and reached the bedroom before I had finished thinking about where the glass was. I dived onto the bedside table and there is was! It was about a third full - he had obviously had a thirsty night so I dived in and started lapping away - Oh the joy of that cold taste running down my parched throat. I went to pull my head out for air and realised I was stuck in the glass.

I tried to shake it off but just managed to get more water up my nose. When he came out of the bathroom he took one look at me and started laughing like a drain.

"Come and see this!" he called out "Looks like someone should have gone to Specsavers!"

I owe him one for that - I won't forget.
