Encounter with a neighbour

Funny story.


Me - walking with pram up our street, Batsman and Bowler on board. Walk past a neighbour (elderly, slightly hard of hearing, very "Aussie" old bloke).


Neighbour says to the Batsman...."So what did you get, a brother or a sister?"
Batsman.......silence.
Me ...."The Batsman got a little brother"
Neighbour....."What's his name?"
Me...."His name is Nate"
Neighbour......."Snake?.....You called him Snake?"
Me.....explain and spell the name out for him, all the while trying so hard not to laugh. I can just imagine him thinking "Geez, these young people of today calling their kids weird names like Snake!!!"


Batsman....very unsure what to make of neighbour!


So anyway....here is a recent pic of "Snake" with the Batsman and the Captain.

  1. Thank you Suz. I needed a giggle this morning. Snake?! I can only imagine the confusion in your neighbour's mind!
