Day Ten

Tonight as my Dad was having his usual rant at the dinner table and filling us in on all the latest ATO goss, he suddenly announced: "I got something for Blaine today .. or it might be for Bella". He then went into his bedroom and returned holding a 200 piece Pokemon puzzle. He proudly boasted that he bought the gem from an ATO colleague for the bargain price of $3. I couldn't help but wonder.. Why on earth is someone who works at the Tax Office going to the trouble to sell a puzzle for $3?? And what was the look on the passengers faces as my Dad sat on the bus on his way home carrying a 200 piece Pokemon puzzle?! Moving on, Blaine and Bella were equally excited. Blaine's thoughts immediately turned to how much he could re-sell it for (his fathers son, clearly) but Bella wondered when could she start the puzzle and who would help her? Soon after dinner she got started sorting the pieces. Now Mum and I are thinking.. What could we send Dad to work with tomorrow that he could sell to an unsuspecting Public Servant?!
