Look what I did - Graveyard Shift, Chapter 4

[jack]

We're passed half way through. We start to get an inkling of what Death's playing at, in a more general sense than "at chess". We meet another old favorite. The guards finally manage to make an arrest and Carrot reads someone their rights and wrongs...

The abbot of the history monks was more composed than Lord Hong. Then again, he was used to this dream.
"Good day to you."
THERE IS NO DAY HERE.
"I know. I like teasing you, Death. In many ways."

My mum swears she didn't vote for the "I'm your mother, I love whatever you do." option. Did someone else? Come on, 'fess up :) But she said she did.

Mum: I thought "Haberdash" was funny.
Me: Me too. I didn't make it up, by the way.
Mum: What? I thought...
Me: It's in the OED and everything. I wasn't going to, but when I looked up 'haberdash', I saw it there and just had the use it. "Valkyrian" is real, too.
Mum: Oh, I knew that.

It was me. I'm trying to think of exactly why I did and can't come up with an answer: I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. Plus, you can never have too many mothers???

Thanks for telling me. Well, it's weird, but funny and sweet too. I'm just glad I'm no longer thinking mum was mistaken or lying about having not voted :)

PS. Remember that Pratchett said "Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind." It's my new housemate's most annoying habit, but I guess that could be an AWFUL lot worse :)

I remember being introduced to the haberdashery department of somewhere or other at a very early age...
