Anyone care to join me? 🥂

There’s always one ….

'I thought it was champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends.' And I think it's Oscar Wilde.

Eek - cost of living increase is evident here!

very cute!

my best friend is THE most lovely person, not at all stupid, has a responsible job, but she still writes like that! You just have to sound the words out & you're good to go!

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

DS at 4 once marched triumphantly through the door declaring “Grandma took me to the pub for tea and we had to leave the car AND WALK because she drinked two wines and you can’t drive after a wine and SHE HAD TWO MUMMY do you like wine Mummy two wines is a lot of wine isn’t it AND SHE COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE’D HAD THE WINES” while my poor mum tried to shut him up so our elderly neighbour wouldn’t hear and judge her

My DD does this regularly when we cook special meals with different items on the menu or 3- course meals. I should save one of them to look back on. Good idea!

Honestly, you should tell your DD to set her sights higher...

What's £10 for a glass of champagne???

@Flangeosaurus reminds me of a time when I told my reception class teacher that my uncle had guns hidden under the seat of his car. I failed to explain that he was a part of the firearms unit of the police and he was showing me his police car 😆

That is so cute - I laughed at the vegetables.

My DD used to call my glass of wine "Mummy's juice". Everything was juice, and she's absolutely fine now (for PP who thinks all our kids are forever damaged)

Aw this takes me back.

I knew my work as a parent was done when my DD could refill my wine glass.

I’m with @Hallyup89 on this one

DS knows that daddy likes to drink beer and coffee, he also knows that you can't drive after drinking one of them. He also didn't know which was coffee and which was beer.

This lead to several embarrassing conversations in cafes over a span of about three years, where he would be adamant that daddy was about to drink and drive. Every time we would explain, and by the next time he had them mixed up again.

At 7 years old, he still sometimes checks with us if DH is allowed to drive, but he has at least got a bit quieter

My daughter (then 5) came back from school with a picture of ‘Mummy with her wine’ on her hand. I don’t wear high heals (or drink that much). At least I’m carrying a flower too😊

Eldest DS drew this when youngest DS was born. And then showed the visiting midwife!

Nollij is powwer.

France is gamen.

I love that BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz. I have to show my mum. She talks about letters I used to write to her phonetically (FONEticly)

In my sons shop a lemon and a cartoon of milk is £62. £10 for a bottle is cheap

Have you had it tattooed on your hand?

Love it! Our children always daub us in.

(Your username suggests that your DS may not have been too wide if the mark, though! 😁)

These are so cute. I once stayed in bed due to slight excess of 'mummy-fun-with-friends' and dd who was then about 8 drew me a card that said 'I hope you feel better soon, Mummy' It had flowers on it and everything. Then I.opened it. Inside was a drawing of me throwing up in the loo. 😳

Totally. It should be free

Friend of mine's DD told her teacher that they walked to school instead of driving 'because mummy was drunk'.

Not as horrifying as made out obviously, it was just the night after the Christmas party or some other social event where drinks were consumed the night before and she wasn't certain she was under the limit the next day.

Joe Wickes tells a nice story about sharing a 'gin ton' with one of his DC, of course the DC gets lemonade in a gin glass with ice and a slice but DC forgot to include this in the story when telling her teacher about how she liked to have a 'gin ton with daddy'.

But definitely call social services on the lot of them, no-one should have any alcohol from the day they're pregnant with their first until the day the youngest graduates from university.

My dgs announced, while holding the menu upsidedown, that he would like 'a glass of wine and a sausage please' he was 3, I seem to remember he got the sausage
