Emercency!

Thurs night 10.55, phone rings, it's my son:

Mr FO: 'Hello?'
T: 'Is mum there?'
Mr Fo: 'She's in bed'
T: 'Can I speak to her?'
Me (sleepily): 'Hi'
T: 'I need a book on Mesapotamian Mathematicians!'
Me: 'Oh?'
T: 'I need it asap, for my uni interview'
Me: 'What's wrong with the internet?'
T: ' They'll think I'm a cheapskate, I want to say I'm reading it'
Me: 'Lie'
T: stunned silence

T can't lie he has yet to learn the distinction between immoral lies and the white fluffy kind!

Anyway Mr FO saved the day and the book arrived this morning (£40, mind!)
