Inspired by this thread I told my DH earlier I wanted a GoodWidge not some gross SubwayWidge
I got THIS as a response.

Bloody awful song but now that it's lodged in my brain thought I'd share

[ladyjadie]

That is hilarious unacceptable!

[ZingWidge]

and just to round this off, I had to make an appearance to introduce my new name - inspired by this thread!


have a great SummerWidge!

I'm confused. Should you keep widges in the fwidge?

[SupermansBigRedPants]

I laughed seeing this back in active conversations bugger me if I can't bread pig bread though

[ZingWidge]

balaboosta

we even have a BeerFwidge!

I loved this thread - inspiration indeed!

[ZingWidge]

although don't put me in a fwidge!

[ZingWidge]

and when you have one slice of bread (with any filling) folded in half it's called a HalfWidge.

now I'm happy

Get a life, you lot

Says a lot about the person resurrecting an old thread...

[Retroformica]

I think you should allow your children to make their own decisions about meat eating outside of the house. Most vegetarians I know do this even with very young kids. At some point the child has to make its own choices about lots if things - religion, food, exercise, friends etc

[Retroformica]

The other thing to consider is that your child will be offered meat products throughout her life (this was just the first time!) and if she wants to be a veggie she will decide to say no to the meat offering. Are you going to have a huge paddy every time she is offered meat?

[justmuddlingalongsomehow]

Tbh it's the "we won't tell Mummy" thing that worries me most - coercing and trying to force a 4 year old to do something and then collude in trying to keep it a secret is very disturbing to me.

Call or email when you are calm and then steer clear. I can't imagine your dd being very happy to go back there anyway.

[weneedtotalkaboutkettles]

I've never understood the "let them make their own decisions" brigade. If you feel that something is wrong for health or for ethical reasons, wrong enough that you don't indulge in it yourself, then you don't let your child have it.

And I KNOW it is a zombie thread, but it's a point of view I have never understood.

[Spirulina]

We need alerts to zombie threads! I have just read the whole thing and then realised....

[Glittertwins]

oh the irony of being told to get a life by someone trawling zombie threads

[BaronessBomburst]

I smelt a rat zombie when I saw that TSC had posted!

[Troubledtimes]

Thank you thank you Thank you for reviving this thread. I'm in my sickbed and been snorting with laughter (smil) thenx

[SoleSorceress]

I would ask the other Mom what actually occurred. Ask her why launch into a tirade of abuse. Your Daughter might be exaggerrating.i

[Bowlersarm]

I liked this thread the first time round.

Once is enough though.

[Finola1step]

Zombie on the loose!

Oooookaaaay.
