Having Sunday lunch, today and we got talking with Ds11, about 'snitching '. He was very vocal about his dislike of snitches. He said that he knew a secret about Dh, and he wouldn't tell, as Dh wouldn't like it. After much hilarity and Dh insisting that he had no secrets from me, and that he wouldn't be at bothered if Ds shared the secret, Ds blurts out that while using Dh's phone, to watch YouTube, he discovered that Dh's last search had been Tess Daley's tits..... Without missing a beat, Dh said, 'I'll get my coat...'I nearly wet myself

I don't get what's funny. And I am pretty open with my kids. But there must be something about this "joke" I am missing because I just don't get it.

There was a thread in here a while ago about the pictures of Orlando Blooms cock. Not one “violation of privacy” “it’s grim” “contacting legal team” comment on that one! Just a load of women googling the picture and giggling about it online.

Johnnyfinland · 04/11/2018 20:56

Porn by definition is people engaging in sex acts or explicit displays of sexual organs. A scantily clad tess Daly is hardly porn! As far as I know she’s never done porn or posed naked so it would be more likely her in a bikini

Whatthefunk · 04/11/2018 20:56

I'm sure I should be appalled, but I'm just not.

I didn't see that thread but were the women telling their 11 year olds all about it NotUmbongoUnchained? I think that's the difference here.

pictish · 04/11/2018 20:57

Oh OP poor you. You’ve attracted a right bunch of pickled cabbages tonight!
None of them laugh in their houses, no one says ‘tits’ and all their 11 yr olds are too busy playing scrabble and volunteering at the library to even know what they are. Or some shit like that.

Anyway, fuck this thread off...they’ll just tear you to shreds.

Dorsetdays · 04/11/2018 20:58

I’m wondering what sort of “legal advice” the OP is expected to look up! Confused.

OP I’m just surprised no one has yet said you should LTB...

NotUmbongoUnchained · 04/11/2018 20:59

The husband didn’t intentionally tell his 11 year old though did he. Any one of those women in that thread could have accusbetly left the picture for their child to find. It was an accident, an embarrassing one, and I’m sure an 11 year old boy will have seen a pair of tits before.

Whatthefunk · 04/11/2018 20:59

Oh all right. He's a filthy bastard, and I'll kick him out, as soon as he finishes cleaning the kitchen Smile

“While most 11 year olds will certainly have noticed that breasts exist and have sexual connotations, the scenario you describe is quite bleak. Although not as disturbing as your attempts to turn it into some kind of "we're so cool and liberated, what a laugh" thing. There is nothing cool about your pre-pubescent child being given a window into your husband's fantasy predilections.“

Does anyone else visualise Carrie’s mother typing this out? Just me?

Sparklingbrook · 04/11/2018 21:01

I haven't got an 11 year old. They are much older so I have missed my chance to do this. Sad

We do laugh a lot, can't remember anyone saying 'tits' no Scrabble though and no library volunteering AFAIK. Grin

Hardly!

However, I don't agree that googling tits is the right message to be sending to 11 year olds. Of course they know what tits are, but fgs we should be teaching then how to use the internet safely, not condoning the googling of tits.

pictish · 04/11/2018 21:02

Do shut up.

Whatthefunk. I’d make him do the bathroom too before you ask him to leave....that’ll teach him Grin

ohnothanks · 04/11/2018 21:04

Well, I laughed. I'm a disgrace to the sisterhood.

SpiritedLondon · 04/11/2018 21:05

When I was 11 I was reading my brothers Mayfair / Penthouse magazines - I doubt there was a sexual term I was unfamiliar with. And given CEOPS research shows the majority of teenagers have smart phones with no parental controls on them I would suggest your 11 year old will soon be familiar with far more explicit material than pictures of someone’s probably clothed breasts.

Giantbanger · 04/11/2018 21:05

It's not about the googling and the looking. I have myself googled David Tennant's cock back in the day of the naked policeman photos.

What I haven't done is told my 11 year old about it. That's the difference.

pictish · 04/11/2018 21:06

Not likely Monkey. You can try.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 04/11/2018 21:06

I have 5 brothers. The amount of times you’d hear me mum shouting from upstairs “who the fucks been typing boobs into the google again??” was unreal Grin

MizK · 04/11/2018 21:10

Oh god I can just imagine the cringiness if that.

Also googling famous people for a quick perve is hardly rare. To fail to be appalled by it isn't being a Cool Girl (Are we still using that lazy trope btw?). Unless you're suggesting that the pics of Luke Cage with his top off that I have in certain Whatsapp chats make me a disgusting creep? If so I shall just have to live with myself I suppose.

Lifeisabeach09 · 04/11/2018 21:11

I like that he got busted by his son.

As for OH looking at celebrity breasts online, what a complete non-issue.

Rudi44 · 04/11/2018 21:12

Urgh, that’s grim.
