Rockstarism #332 – Target Practice

#332

Miss throws little plastic toy at Rockstar sitting on the bed, misses him twice…

Rockstar: <without looking up from book> Mum. Miss is throwing things at me again…

Miss: <distractedly> No. No, no, no. (Determinedly goes to pick up toy and finally makes contact with his shoulder.)

Miss (to herself): <satisfied> There. Got ‘im. Got ‘im, Mummy. 

(I don’t respond)

Rockstar: <after a moment, still not looking up> Ow.

Miss (to Rockstar): No throwing ah, Ko-ko.

Rockstar doesn’t respond further; the Miss then walks off to play with her doll house, whereupon he looks at me, smirks and rolls his eyes.
