Sun, Sand, and Pushable Statues
Daniel and Iris have taken a trip to Egypt, in the hope it'll make the photography challenges slightly more achievable. The last time Daniel travelled there was a meteor, let's hope there isn't this time.
Daniel: I'm not sure I'm comfortable with my little girl being out in public with her nightie on.
Is a swimming costume better for him? Somehow I doubt it.
Iris: It's hot.
There's also no swimming pool in sight.
Iris: Social conventions of what to wear are boring.
Daniel settles down to read a book.
Random Egyptian: Oooh, that looks interesting?
Daniel: It's rude to read over someone else's shoulder.
And then Iris persuades him to go adventuring. Because yes, taking your elder and neurotic father into a tomb is really an amazing idea.
Daniel: No it's not.
Iris: Sarcasm, Dad. Even the sharks understand sarcasm.
Daniel: Glad to hear it. I'm fairly sure there's sharks down there, come to think of it.
Iris: Don't be silly. Everyone knows sharks can't climb stairs.
They said that about the Daleks too.
A bit of box-opening happens.
Daniel: Oh my god oh my god oh my god...oh. It's only some ancient coins.
Iris: Open! Now! I demand you!
Daniel: Why do I get all the worst jobs?
Iris: Don't you love me, Daddy?
Daniel: Oh course I do, but...
Iris: Push then!
They've solved the tomb, with not a few arguments along the way.
Iris: They were more like debates.
She also spends some time scootering it around to get pictures of cool landmarks. I didn't realise how long it takes to get around Egypt before this. I need to travel more.
Iris: I don't. There's too much Outside. Sharks can get you Outside.
Look at the gorgeous scenery though.
Iris: I'd rather look at it from indoors, thanks.
How can you not appreciate it? Really Iris.
Iris: I think there's a shark in my ear. I think it's telling me I shouldn't be having to take photos of plants.
You do. Get on with it.
Iris: Whhhyyyy.
Because it's a DecaDynasty, and you do what I say.
Iris: Whhhyyyy.
Are you seven?
Iris: I'm glad to be home.
And life has continued as normal while they were away. Here's a singed Mary to prove it.
Mary: Why do you only pay attention to me at the worst moments in time?
Daniel: Hey there Peggy, did you miss your daddy?
Gabrielle: You got it right, well done!
Daniel: Always the tone of surprise.
Gabrielle's taken to playing a game in her underwear.
Gabrielle: I don't have time to get dressed with this many children.
Gabrielle: Still haven't.
