I want to be the government

For a while now, Niamh’s wanted to be a vet. This morning, she changed her mind a few times. First, she wanted to be a teacher. Then she wanted to be a vet again. Finally, she decided on her career. “No, no,” she said, “I don’t want to be a vet. I want to be the government.”

Presumably when she initiates the military coup and becomes Arch-Generalissimo, I’ll get some sort of plum post in the new dictatorship. No idea what’ll happen to all of you proletarians; I should start buttering her up now if I were you.

Niamh prevails.

  1. She was obviously eavesdropping on our converstation about democracy at Christmas!

    Unfortunately if Niamh becomes generalissimo I think you’re more likely to find yourself against a wall, as the last vestiges of the old, dad-ruled order are swept away.

  2. Absolutely not. Niamh’s a good girl who respects her parents. I’m seeing myself in some sort of elder statesman type role where I guide the progress of the government. Minister without portfolio sort of thing.

  3. Wouldn’t she be generalissima?

  4. Hm. Perhaps. She may legislate gender out of the language; I would if I were dictator, I think.

  5. Excuseme but How I can contact with Stuart Langridge , it about on question about sorttable
