JD And Us: A Rockstar 5 Second Skit

So the circus took ourselves to Sai Kung yesterday, only to discover practically all our regular hangout cafes gutted in heavy renovations that would take some 6 months. JD couldn’t swim in the sea either, because all the dog-bath shops were closed (I know this because I walked with each Rockstar round to each one I was aware of in the area just to make sure, because we drove all the way here and JD hadn’t had a swim in the sea in like, forever :() and we would then be traipsing the hour-long drive home with a salty wet dog in the front seat.

Circus shot, everyone in their own zone…

The Acrobats and Strongman practice their routine in the sunset

(Or, I Can’t Believe I Let My Husband Swing Two Children At Once, Near A Large Body Of Water)

“Booorn Freeeeee… As Free As The Wind Blooooowwws….”

….Or to chase Ko-ko round and round……. Even as the excited dog starts barking and shoots by, thereby earning a telling off from Daddy for herding someone’s much-loved mutt alighting from a boat at the pier…..

Which earns her tea and sympathy…. And a back rub from the Miss…..

(Who might also be thinking how much she could make as a proper dog masseuse…”

“Sometimes…. I LOVE my job!” (Which one d’you think is thinking that, the dog or the dog masseuse)

(Note JD’s especially pleased face…)

…..In contrast to this one. No I don’t know what JD’s doing…. blinking?

(YES we were very careful with the Miss)

“Come, Come, The Time Has Come, my blue-eyed friend, to talk of Other Things…”

“Of Shoo Shoes And Ships And Sealing Wax….”

As we drove off into the sunset, with Kings.   

Epilogue:

Rockstar’s good friend in school did a magic trick specially for him, which his mum Whatsapp-ed over and so we watched it in the car going back….. And Rockstar filmed his own thank you for me to send back (we all chipped in in the car too)….

But not before Rockstar mused, “You know, (friend) did a magic trick recently, and I got to be his assistant in class. Wouldn’t it be cool if one day we grew up and I became a famous scientist like Isaac Newton and he was a famous magician like David Copperfield?”  

Just so…
