Last thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

After being away over the weekend, I went to pick up my dog and my Mum's dog from the kennels. Took the dog around to my Mum's place - and it was the wrong dog 🫤.

I think that was "Meet the parents"?

But it was pretty funny. The dog jumped into the car, and I thought "huh, you can jump". Then my Mum spotted it because that dog was way too healthy. Not blind, not deaf, had all it's toes, slim waist. They were very similar looking, though.

You are 100% correct, that was meet the parents!

I just imagine some hard ass lady at the kennel counter telling you "this is your dog now."

At any rate its a hilarious story!
