Around The Block And Boys Toys

Jump to Comments

I took a short evening walk which I do all too infrequently. I passed a man who appeared to by pointing his camera phone straight up and so I looked immediately above me to see if there was some passing UFO that perhaps I had overlooked but there was nothing except cloud and open sky. Whatever gives you pleasure mate.

Boys and their toys

I then came across an embryo example of men and their cars in the shape of two young boys who each had a remote controlled toy car that was whizzing around the quiet roadway. Size wise they were unequally matched and the blonde haired boy with the over-sized car clearly revelled in running over his neighbours palm sized toy with frequent ease.Even his remote control was boorishly super sized.

A disapproving glance

As I passed the dark haired boy with the smaller car who was sat at the kerb he looked up at me and smiled and I smiled back and caught a look in his eyes that seemed to say that he didn’t much care for his friends overbearing play techniques and his oh so typically over-sized toy. I glanced disapprovingly over at the other blonde boy briefly and and I guess my glancing unspoken message was received and understood as his super uber car then sidled alongside me near the kerb and kept pace with my walking speed momentarily before speeding off in an act that I felt was somehow meant to impress me.

It’s funny how personality types and behaviour establish themselves at such a young age.
