Definition of woops

Ordering via online store (because you are a lazy tart) the coolest present known to kid (Sooo worth the price tag. Especially if he makes me pancakes) for your nephew who you're going to vist at the weekend, reading the shipping terms the next day, and finding out that delivery normally takes around 14 days, therefore requiring you to do copious amounts of asking very nicely (slash begging slash pulling on heartstrings) for the coolest present known to kid to be held at a store near you so that you can arrange to have it picked up by one hour courier at some horrendous cost (although less horrendous cost than if it was delivered in 14 days time and you had to post it under the new NZ Post horrendous charging rates).


Oh yes. Woops indeed.

'tis cool 'tis it not? Handily, I've been giving some thought to what yon gorgeous, cheeky, toddly niece should be provided with to mark the anniversary of her much loved presence in all of our lives ... but trying to think of something that yon gorgeous, cheeky, toddly niece's parents wouldn't want to wrap around my head at first opportunity and not in an affectionate way. Shall I order another pancake pan? (if the thought of le kid and pancakes fills you with horror, feel free to make further suggestions of course).

SHE would like a bloody space rocket with all the bells and whistles and levers and sounds ...
SHE would wrap said pan around OUR heads - does already with anything to hand - pens, shoes, nappies etc. likes touching things with her food before eating it. cruskit dipped in dad's foot for example.
um, probably something in the 'ooh, look dad I am climbing way up here without any hands' type thing would be good. (NO TEDDIES PLEASE. they are passe' to your niece. unless you hit thomas with them; or dad.)
and vaalium for me.
and whiskey for andrew.
and zanax for the dog.
she is presently climbing onto couch, then onto pouffe (the orange ikea one, not andrew), then onto coffee table, grinning moronically all the while . . .
