I couldn't help it

I heard him go stomping into the boys' room (they are 2 and 4) and say, in his best righteous no-messing voice, "WHICH boy has spilt something strange on the bathroom floor?". Silence. "WELL?". Silence. More stomping as he goes back to the bathroom to assess the damage. Then back to the bedroom. "Right, now this is VERY serious. WHICH boy poured something strange into the bath and then danced in it? WELL?". "Nobody, Daddy, it was just an accident, we spilt some of your green shampoo." DH: "Now, I KNOW that's not true, because there are muddy footprints in the bath!"

DH: "Right. Now I want you both to go STRAIGHT to sleep, and I do not want to hear any giggling or silly noises. If I do, I will come up and take away Bed-duck AND Minty." (their bed-friends)

He's still stomping about downstairs in a mood about it, it's only a bit of shampoo, fgs

But whilst on the subject of tellings-off, I wish the NS&I advert would stop giving me the finger. It's putting me off my MNing.

i had never noticed it but now it is driving me mad - thanks!

How on EARTH could he expect them not to giggle or make silly noises after he had said "Or I'll take Bed-duck and Minty away"?

Because, at the ripe old age of 31, I am stifling a giggle just reading it!

Poor Mr Greensleeves....

Pre-kids you never ever realise just what humiliations await you.... LOL.

I love the "Which boy...?"
Sounds like he models himself on Mr Wilkins from Anthony Buckeridge's Jennings books.

pmsl at poor twinset sitting in a puddle infront of a room full of boys!

MrsThiery, my ds does that too... i get ever so cross and pull him away from the boob and he just goes into fits laughing at me, and then i end up in fits of giggles.... so of course next time he feeds he bites me again. my nipples may not survive him!

I am getting some very strange looks from my colleagues (sitting here laughing to myself) - I've just had to pretend that I have hiccups as I'm making strange noises trying to suppress my laughter.

Funniest thread in a while - thanks ladies!

farting with intent - DEMERIT!
