One day I was at a friend's house and my lot had been pushing their luck and to be honest,I was getting a bit fed up and was counting the minutes to bedtime
As we where leaving,I muttered under my breath something like 'I swear they are all rejects from the condom factory'
My friend laughed and we headed home via the post office-thinking that only my friend had heard me
Of course there was a bloody long queue so we tacked onto the end of it
Wed just got to the front when ds1 shouts 'MUUUUM!ARE WE REALLY REJECTS FROM THE CONDOM FACTORY?'
The lady behind the counter couldn't look me in the eye and I kept hearing sniggers from the long queue behind me
Same kid a few months later
We where in another long queue at the co-op
Big gob-'MUUM!I KNOW HOW BABIES GET UP THERE BUT HOW DO THEY GET OUT?'
Me-'let me sort out the shopping and ill tell you on the way home'
Big gob-'BUT MUUUM!I NEED TO KNOW NOW!'
Every single person in that queue couldn't look me in the eye and you could feel the 'thank god I dont have to answer that question' radiating from every single one of them-incuding his school teacher who was just behind me
I didnt mind the question but there is a time and a place for it
Ds3 once refused to wear his coat on a really cold day-snow on the ground type of weather
I didnt have the energy to argue so rolled it up and shoved it under dds buggy while wearing my really thick coat and stepping out of the front door (knowing he'd soon change his mind)
Little sod waited until we saw the lovely after school leader in the street (a few yards from our front door) before telling her 'im ever so cold,I dont have a coat,my mummy cant afford one'
She'd gone by the time I dug his coat,scarf and gloves out and pushed him into them
Im amazed I didnt have ss on my doorstep
