A youth asked my 71 yr old mother her opinion on 'Beating the Meat'

[QuoteOfTheDay]

Hello,

On a very gentle amble to a pub in the cotswolds this evening, a young man around 14, asked my 71 Yr old mother her opinion on 'beating the meat'.

Myself, having heard my mother's reply of 'I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean' (she certainly did, the wily old fox) but nothing else, turned to him and asked him to repeat. He then, very smoothly, asked what my opinion was on Man United. Shamefully, I told him (I don't wish to repeat). On asking him who he supported he tapped his man u bottle and ran away.

AIBU to spread this encounter far and wide to alert the church elders?

Once during a reading group, an 11-year-old boy asked me if I liked the BBC. (We're American, so I knew he didn't mean the Network.🙄) I told him I had CBeebies on my class website if he liked it that much. The other boys laughed, and that was the last time he tried to get cute in my classroom.

I'm not much of a pearl-clutcher, but snark is my 2nd language.

I was thinking of the Manchester one too! Its very Footballers Wives round there!

There’s a Prestbury in Cheltenham too!
