Dad's a dimwit ...........
or that's how I felt earlier in the week.
Now Tilly is Dolphin mad. You may well remember me talking about the Dolphin Wallpaper for her bedroom. She has a a Dolphin Duvet. You get the idea.
Anyway on the site is a link to adopt a dolphin, or so I thought.So I asked Cathy ( 
"she who must be obeyed" 
) what she thought; wouldn't that be a nice surprise for Tilly's birthday - her "own" Dolphin.
"Good idea" came the reply, so I filled in the details and picked a name off the list, and that, I thought, was that. This was in the days between Christmas and New Year
Then Around came Tuesday .
I was at work, and the day was bad enough without the phone call from home. It was Cathy. The adoption pack had come, and we had adopted a WHALE. Arrow, the name I had picked,was an Orca and LJ was not happy 
She was mad, she was ANGRY. Cathy wasn't overly pleased with the reaction either, but that's another story.
What a meat head .............................
At least now, things are OK. I rung the WDCS on their helpline number and the kind lady on the end sorted things out for us. Very pleasant, very helpful. SO we are now waiting for the new pack to arrive.
The only thing is Liam's not happy now 
. Not because we have adopted a Dolphin
, but because we passed up the chance of a Killer Whale.
As far as he's concerned an Orca has an edge, a certain "bite" if you'll excuse the pun. And anyway he can no longer annoy his sister about not having what she wants. 
He can be a right "wind up" merchant if you know what I mean
Thats family life for you I suppose.
God Bless
Dave
