FUD: Fear/Uncertainty/Doubt

More words from Amy April 12, 2008

It can work! No, it can’t work.
[What can't work?]
The heat pump can’t work.
[Why can't the heat pump work?]
‘Cos it’s, ‘cos it’s broken.
There’s two cars. ‘Cos two cars broke it. [How?]
‘Cos they’re naughty. They’re naughty, eh? ‘Cos their battery’s flat.
We have to fix them. We have to pull the batteries out.

(Roleplaying — apparently the aforementioned two cars are Mum and Dad.)
Mama. I don’t know. Dad, what are you doing, Dad?
I said what are you doing, Dad. Ummm, I’m doing work. Okay, bye.
I’m broken, Mummy.
Want a cuddle? (kissing noises) Good. Bye Daddy.
How was your work? Mum, how was your college? Good. No, I didn’t go, I’m at college.
…
[What are you doing?]
Um, I’m working. You’re the Dad, Mum. I’m the Mum.
What are you doing, Dad?
[I'm working at work. What are you doing, Mum?]
Um, I’m just driving. Mrrrooommmm. [Where are you going?]
Um, I don’t know. In the garage. Okay bye!

I’m putting my shoes on.
Baby’s sleeping. I shut his door. ‘Cos…baby’s not get out now.
Door’s shut.
Good? (Building a block door around the baby)
Baby door okay? It’s all done!

Oh no, poor baby.

You go in now, cos baby, it’s done again, baby. Lay down, okay?

Yep, cos it’s night time. He’s got a door shut.
Baby’s going a-toilet now. (Taking baby’s clothes off)
Baby, go to toilet. It’s sleep time now. I’m not rocking you, it’s sleep time.
