He's holding out a plate and looking at me like he fully expects me to put a raccoon on his plate.

Macaroon?

ErrolTheDragon · 30/01/2023 12:43

Has he ever had a macaroon?

MsFannySqueers · 30/01/2023 12:44

@YoureMyWifeNowDave @ErrolTheDragon LMAO I think you've cracked it. I didn't realise DH had bought some Mrs. Crimble's Macaroons and DC's eagle eyes spotted them in the cupboard.
I've pulled them out and asked "Is this the raccoon?" and he says it is.
Mystery solved. 🤣

This is my favourite thread of the day. Bless his cotton socks.

Hooray! I love those Mrs Crimble ones, so I don't blame him!

Emmamoo89 · 30/01/2023 12:48

@Heli1copter We haven't had them in ages so it didn't even occur to me that a) we had any and b) he knew what they were. He's eating one now.

@reamsofcheese so am I now. Thanks to you Grin

MsFannySqueers · 30/01/2023 13:12

Oh so cute! They will forever be ‘raccoons’ in your house now. I remember my DS at about 5 or 6 asking me what a Sir Lion was. Sirloin steak ha ha!
