A colleague of mine is moving desks following a promotion. He is clearing things into a large cardboard box.
Me: Off to play with the big boys eh?
Colin: Yeah, right.
He starts yanking his kids' drawings off the cubicle wall.
Colin: Look at all this stuff!
I laugh as he stares in wonderment at a round egg-like being on a crumpled sheet of paper. 'Dad' is scrawled underneath.
Colin: You can laugh mate. This will be you in a couple of years.
Me: I suppose it will.
I smile inwardly. I like the thought that this will happen. I will be Mr Egg. Mental note: must go to the gym a little more often.
