The Limp

Here's another lesson in getting ones own way with minimum effort. It is called 'The Limp'.

Firstly, it is much easier to limp on a front foot than a back foot. This way one also gets to sit down and lift ones foot up in the air in a rather pathetic way.

This was one of my favourite ruses, and was worth the effort (especially if you try it coming down stairs to meet your Blob as she gets home from work), just to see the look on her face as she drops her bags and rushes to ones side to tend her poor, sore, unhappy Bob.

Unfortunately, you need to think long term in when you attempt such a ruse. My mistake was to forget to continue with the limp after i had had the first reaction, and bounded gaily to the kitchen (on all four feet) as Blob rose to get her little darling something nice!

Whoops!

I did try it again today, but just got 'The Look', which basically translates into "Forget it Bobster, do I look like I was born yesterday?"

Well apparently that is a rhetorical question, and things may have turned out better if I hadn't tried to suggest that it was laughably obvious that she was considerably older than that.

Another Whoops!

I wonder if you can limp on two feet at one time?
