To want to punch this grannie in the face

We go to a stay and play every Thursday morning, usual thing toys for 90 mins then a few songs with instruments to finish the session. Every single wk this boy a year older than my son dives in the box and pulls out the 1 accordion. My son every wk wants ago on this instrument, the boy claims it. Then drops it to run off and play else where. His nan knows how much my son wants ago on it but she holds it out of reach from my son. It's so cruel his little lip drops. I would never let my child hog a toy wk in and out. Makes my blood boil !

AIBU to punch this Granny in the face? She keeps hogging the only Anaconda.
Ds is fed up with the tortoises.

So, let me clarify. Every week at baby group this teenager punches all the kids out the way to get to the bagpipes, he then proceeds to spit on it and snap it over his knee before throwing it to Ms Trunchbull who holds your son at arms length by the forehead whilst cackling in his screaming face? And people are advising you to talk calmly to this asshole?

What is wrong with you people!?

Four and a half, actually. g&t

DontmindifIdo · 26/01/2013 09:19

OP - why haven't you tried saying "Oh, as your grandson isn't playing with that, can you pass it to my son to have a go?" or is that too simple?

Pagwatch · 26/01/2013 10:04

I think you are being mean. The granny has anxiety issues which are only soothed by being in close proximity to an accordion ever since that fling she had with Miguel and his Mighty Organ in Torremolinos in 1973.
Does she fondle it a bit, does she? Does she moan 'Oh Miguel, squeeze my love, squeeze'

TuftyFinch · 26/01/2013 10:11

I think youve hit the nail on the head Pag.
I rang the zoo and they've got 837 tortoises, enough for everyone, so I do think it's an avenue worth exploring.

TheVermiciousKnid · 26/01/2013 10:13

Only 836 tortoises now, sorry.

HoneyDragon · 26/01/2013 10:15

You're not meant to eat the fucking tortoises! Even if they do come with an attractive serving bowl in the manner of Gu desserts.

Pagwatch · 26/01/2013 10:16

Hahaha at serving dishes.

Poor tortoise Sad

TheVermiciousKnid · 26/01/2013 10:17

Sorry. [hblush]

TuftyFinch · 26/01/2013 10:17

TheVermiciousKnid · 26/01/2013 10:18

TheVermiciousKnid · 26/01/2013 10:18

Do they serve tortoise porridge in prison?

HoneyDragon · 26/01/2013 10:20

QI said they are delicious though. And your are a Knid, we might be able to get you a plea of diminished responsibility. Based on what Stephen Fry has said. I reckon he'd class as an expert witness.

echt · 26/01/2013 10:20

Silly OP. How can anyone disagree with what you want to do? It' s in your head, such as it is. Why bother posting about your thoughts, it's what you DO that counts.

HoneyDragon · 26/01/2013 10:24

Echt is right op. it's not like you ate a tortoise.

TheVermiciousKnid · 26/01/2013 10:27

:(

Will you all visit me in prison? Please?

WhateverTrevor · 26/01/2013 10:28

Are you sure about that Honey?

HoneyDragon · 26/01/2013 10:33

Of course I am sure Trevor. I say it with the absolute authority of some random posting on an Internet forum - which it the best most authorities authority ever.

FeistyLass · 26/01/2013 10:39

My dsis just sent me a photo of her grandson playing an accordion - maybe she's the aggressive-accordion-stealer. Sorry, op [bblush] (but if it is her, she'll punch you right back so maybe throw the tambourine at her from a safe distance instead).

TheVermiciousKnid · 26/01/2013 11:00

Oh no, that blasted tortoise is now playing the accordion in my stomach. I knew I should have chewed it properly.

MsVestibule · 26/01/2013 11:26

Justreadthefuckingwords your poem was an absolute marvel. I'm very Sad that none of you ignoramus MNers have expressed your appreciation yet.

HoneyDragon · 26/01/2013 12:31

I wonder if Debi expected her thread to go this way?

SPBInDisguise · 26/01/2013 12:35

Am wondering if this is football related...
