Last night…

Posted on December 22, 2004 by electricrocket

… I was up late in the basement assembling a “bike” for my son for Christmas.

I am so cliche now. I even cursed.

    I have assembled bikes, but not cursed during.

    On the other hand, I probably cuss enough on an hourly basis for the both of us.

      These things are deceptively tricky to assemble. They inspire more cursing than one might imagine.

        I bet that kid had no trouble at all putting that together.

        Well they can’t use any fasteners that might come loose and be swallowed by the little darlings. So the designers have to be more clever. I guess thats why we don’t have an Ikea toy store.

        I have a freakish aptitude for assemblage of things. It’s like being autistic.

    How late were you up ’til?

    Who are you?

      11:30pm.

      But I was also working on a certain other someone’s gift.

        Oh! Were you able to get it back together? Did you have to use too much glue? You really should be more careful in those icy parking lots when you are carrying something that large, expensive, and fragile. I hope you were able to hide the repairs.

        I am sure she will love it anyway.

          Sigh…It wasn’t my gift.

          It was a gift for some bald guy we hang out with…

            He broke that too?

            Brother, you got no idea….

        Was it mine?

        • electricrocketreplied:

          Actually, yes.

          Good guess.

    It’s one of those landmark moments.

    and I have different approaches to this sort of thing…he prefers guessing and cursing. I prefer reading the instructions and cursing.

    and I need to have a “curse off” some time.

      I will never understand where get the impression that I don’t read directions. I always read the directions first. Err, maybe I should say that I usually read the directions third. Yeah, that’s more accurate.

      I mean how else are you going to find the gems of mangled english that most directions contain?
