“…. and there’s two! Two Scania’s… Ahhhhh.. lorry heaven. I’m in lorry heaven. Oh my god! It’s got my name on it!!!”
“LB, can we talk about something else at teatime? Something me and Tom are interested in?”
“But I love lorries Mum. I’m in lorry heaven Mum.”
“I know. But just while you eat your tea. Talk about something else to be sociable.”
“Sociable Mum? I don’t want to be sociable Mum.”
“Why not? You were obviously sociable last week on your school trip.”
“I know Mum. But that’s because there were people to talk to Mum. People to be sociable with Mum.”
“Well be sociable with us!”
“Ok Mum. Sorry Mum. I’ll be sociable Mum.”
“Good.”
“Do you like lorries Mum?”

I guess he is being sociable in his way, but you have to be down with the lorries to enjoy it.
Yep, you’re right!! I want a particular type of sociability!
I.e a social construct of sociability. I’ll be in Oxford on 15th-16th of June if you want to see me. We can talk about lorries then. I know about Scania and Volvo and Citaro buses too.
Cool! Lets try and meet up!
Sure! I’m up for Pride with my trans friends you see. I can even join Rich in Coalition Depression Support. Have you read my blog recently?
Dipping in and out 🙂
