imitating it all the way around the frigging shop!

today I was in a local shop....a small one that sells lots of interior decoration type things...you know knick-knacks.

A woman came in with her baby in a pram and she walked around, pushing the pram round the tiny aisles (I did this too when my DD was a baby so understand her actions...kind of)

But the whole time she was doing ALL the noises that the baby made....in a TINY oh so NOT FECKING CUTE voice.

The baby would say "Ooh" in it's cute and quiet voice...and she'd go...AAAAAW! in a LOUD pseudo baby voice every time...AWWWW!

Except she added the phrase "Cup o' tea!" "AAAAWWWW cup o' tea!" Confused

The baby didn't say "cup o' tea" so I don't know why she kept saying it!
It was all in a cockney voice too....think Liza Dolittle "AAAAWWWW!"

She said it over and over for about ten minutes and the whole shop was silent listening to her and praying she'd piss off

AIBU to think that there's simply NO NEED!

I'd have started speaking really loud over her. I'm an ignorant bitch like that.

I don't like people being unnecesarily loud

and my neighbours have never had to ask me not to make so much noise.. Multiple times

You shouldn't talk in a nick knack shop. Baby or no baby. No talking. It is a rule.

Are you sure it weren't Aunt Sally? Did she want a slice a cake too?

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 31/07/2012 00:54

people make up songs all the time for babies, my d aunt made one up about a cup of tea, used to make dd giggle, i used to say cup of tea to dd when she was tiny and she would giggle. I would also randomly say cup of tea to her.

seems weired even posting that, and im not the lady in the shop BTW Grin dd is no longer in a pram, but still laughs at the song even now.

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 31/07/2012 00:55

oh will someone please thing of the children

MintChocAddict · 31/07/2012 00:56

So it was an Aunt Sally/Eliza Doolittle Hybrid mum with a pet parrot and no understanding of the rules of nick knack shops.

Get out your bed OP. The plot thickens. Wink
