[TheLadyEvenstar]

Sorry for stupid title but I am laughing here.

I went to a farm yesterday and had to walk up the steps of a tunnel, as I was going up with DS2 who was counting the steps 1,2,3,1,2,3 down came this mum and her son who was a bit older than DS2.

OM; come on darling lets count in french
OC; NO
OM; Italian then
OC; NO
OM; Shall we try the chinese then

each time getting louder.

Today I took DS2 to the theatre- now it is a small south london theatre

Pixie and Lulabelle were outside with mummy dearest the conversation mummy dearest was having had me giggling away

Now girls don't forget that not every other child speaks other languages so this is just in english

the girls were playing with their twirly light up thingies not even listening.

OHHHH How I laughed.

PMSL Lady. :o

Did you tell DS VERY LOUDLY NOT TO POINT AND LAUGH AT THE POOR, UNFORTUNATE CHILDREN WHOSE MOTHERS SUFFER FROM UP-THEIR-PWN-BUM-ITIS? :o

OWN bum, even!

I know someone who switches into French to tell her daughter off... I'm not sure she realises I understand exactly what she is saying!

Vall I couldn't say anything as I was laughing too much.

You, that must be amusing.

LOL I love it when people do daft things like this.

A lady in my street (housing association nothing fancy but not bad area) has always spoken to her child in English and throws in the odd German or Thai word to show off (she is from London as is her entire family and she is a 'friend' of mine).

She has doen this since her eldest was 2 and youngest was born AFAIK but the other day outside nursery she said something to her eldest, now 7, in Thai to which he replied Mummy you know I have no idea what you are saying I am English :o She looked most unpleased but the best of it is there was a Thai lady behind her who then told me even she did'nt know what she was saying because her pronounciation is all wrong :o

Maybe you had to be there but I giggled away.

UYD, see that was me today and yesterday except at one point I was belly laughing and trust me when you are trying to walk up over 100 steps thats not helpful.

When the little one yesterday did attempt to count in french he was met with

No No darling that Italian and French

that was when I cracked up.

apologies for no speech marks my laptop is playing up

pmsl at the boy telling his mummy he is english!! that's brilliant!!

Hahaha :o
