speeddelivery[On the school Fronter system, when a pop-up asks whether we want to allow an .exe file to run]

Mum: Do we want a program to run?

Boy: No! Press cancel! When you get a message like that, you HAVE to say ‘no’. Otherwise it will run – you know like the Coach tells us to run in PE?

Mum: Yes?

Boy: Well it will run like that – and that’s bad. DON’T let it run.

Me: Ah – is he flying?

Me: We’ve got to go to the Post Office to pick up a parcel.

D: Is it for me?

Me: No, I think it’ll be for me.

D: How do you know?

Me: Because I ordered some printer cartridges a couple of days ago and they said that they would be delivered in a couple of days.

D: Printer party juice?

Me: Printer CARTRIDGES – but I think ‘printer party juice’ sounds much better – like the printer has a party all over the paper!

D: I wish it was for me.
