Reference :- Last night the lads here at the Sky Reply cracked some home brew and went through our old photo albums .
It sure was a relief to leave the tele switched off and chill out for the evening . Sometimes the grim features of the Sky News anchors as they wage their war against the "Voice " propaganda becomes exhausting .
Anyway , instead of watching more coverage of the " Voice " proposal , we sat on the sofa and went through our dusty old photo albums . Even dog found it interesting , although I am not sure that he recognized the photos of him as a puppy , being chastised for chewing up my RM Williams boots .
One photo in particular made us smile . It showed a very young Ken junior sitting on the passenger side of the old Holden Kingswood holding a plastic steering wheel. I seem to recall that the plastic wheel even had a little horn button he could beep .
Ken junior always suffered when we drove anywhere . He was prone to car sickness , but when he had his little steering wheel he would talk about where we were going and turn it with mine , and his involvement stopped the motion sickness and the journey changed from torment to adventure .
Ken junior loved being reminded of that steering wheel , but Monte remained quiet .
" What ever happened to that steering wheel ? ", Ken junior said .
" Monte kicked up a huge fuss and cried and cried because he said you would crash the car with it . " , I said.
" That is ridiculous . ", Ken junior said.
" Be that as it may , I had to get rid of the plastic steering wheel . ", I said
" What happened then ? " , Ken junior said .
" We still went places in the Kingswood , but not as often and it wasn't as much fun . ", I said .
Ken junior frowned.
" Shut up and pass me a beer .", Monte said.
Your comrade , Ken
