can we please have a lighthearted JudgeyPants thread?

[MathsMadMummy]

just so we can offload without bothering to start a new thread and get flamed

BUT

for each judging, you must then also tell us something that made you anti-judge (a judge-wedgie? judge-flashing? stnapyegduj? any suggestions...) and made you smile recently.

anyone breaking that rule will hereby be thrown in the stocks and pelted with these

got it?

right. I'll start:

I saw a baby boy in a buggy with one bright blue diamante earring

BUT

I saw a girl, maybe aged 10ish, walking along reading a book - she literally couldn't take her eyes off the page and nearly tripped over a few times, bless. no ipod or nothin'

so who's next? or are you all going to tell me I'm evil...

An elderly lady pulled up at the traffic lights beside my car. Can I add that she was very elderly.
Just as the lights changed, she winked at me and burned me off.

But

Two cyclists appeared from our cow shed. We live miles from anywhere and I was amazed at their sudden appearance.
They had cycled over the mountain and were heading to Fife which is miles from us.

went to playworld today, big fat kids walking UP the slide and kicking footballs up it FFS, so I told them off!!!! I just thought they were sooo prematurely obese and awful and 'where are their parents?!!!', and when we left I saw them all troop outside together and climb into a special needs club minibus parked outside. ouch.
Well, on the flip side - a little scruffy kid was obsessed with my baby and every time he came down the slide he had to stroke him tenderly, to the point of it getting a bit embarrassing because every little kid in the place copied him . Bless.

lol SEQ at the granny racer

And to think I was feeling so smug that my two DD2 (11 and 8) came out of the lirary with me the other day both so mesmerised by their books I had to tell them to stop to cross the street and when to start walking.

DDs

She was in a nippy little blue car and I was in an old Land Rover. I cried laughing for ages.

I have a feeling that I'm turning into SEQ granny racer. I'm always leaving boy racers standing at traffic lights. Drag racers in a volvo, me

Ooops, sorry. I broke the rules. Pelt away!

Saw a 10 month old boy with a ear piercing but a really kind woman offered me her seat (I was carrying DS2) on the transport from Stansted last week

I saw a little girl the other day, I would guess aged 3 or possibly 4 running around with a dummy in her mouth and big hooped earrings .
Later on on the same day I was talking to an old friend who has recently become a father for the first time. Hes a big burly skinhead builder, covered in tattoos and piercings. It was heartwarming to hear him talk about his dw, how proud he was of her and how amazing the female body is, I was actually welling up!

I saw a boy of approx 3 (probably more but am airing on the side of caution here) throw a wobbler on Monday and mother put him in pushchair and gave him a bottle of milk at about 1 o clock in the afternoon.....

But

Elderly couple approached me in restaurant today and said that my two dc's were the best behaved little ones they had seen and that they are an asset to me. made me go all gooy inside...

two boys age ten asked dh for a fag today.

but

took our boys bowling and a man tried to show ds1 how to bowl properly, he loved it

(and no he didnt give them a fag )

I judged my friend for thinking its funny to allow her 9 year old to recite the A-Z of swearing

but....a month or so ago I was the author of this thread

oh Lady did your dad ever say anything to you about that... pmsl....

Erm...

Lets just say I am blessed with an unjudgey father

twas one of the funniest things I had read in ages..... am laughing againg now... It is a toss up between your thread and the battered fanjo one from years ago... cant think which one has made me laugh more... Sorry

I was terribly judgy about a woman in Asda with her 2yo ds telling him about how they were going on a picnic and piling in ready cooked chicken, sausage rolls and mini sausages.

Until I realised that woman was me

I had been quite smug earlier as Ds excitedly picked up a packet of Organix rice cakes as a treat and ignored the chocolately stuff.

Think I got this reversed lol.

The 15 yo friend of DD1 having a tattoo done on her lower back and posting FB pics of herself crying in pain in her Mum's arms afterwards. (But it was "okay", Mum permitted it as it was carried out abroad on hols where tattooing a minor is legal ).

Balanced with... the tattooed, shaven headed young man who got on his knees in the street to fuss my nervous of men GSD, explaining that he too had a (clearly loved and spoilt) rescue dog, a Staffie, and that he knew how these dogs were so often so badly treated and/or killed needlessly.

OK, this is both judgey and anti judgey in one story

My two pre-school boys squabbling in a park over the swing ...youth type boy skinhead with fag and face piercings hopped over fence to cross park and on seeing my "angels" went over, knelt down to their level and (as I was about to call the police!) said:

" You two should share that swing,..it's nice to share, when you share, everbody gets a turn" Winked at me and walked off.

Deeply ashamed at my judginess...happy that boy "turned out" nice though.
