Who needs a nintendo DS when you have balls eh?

differentWitch · 28/10/2008 18:24

send dh to buy you some more wine!

Tigerschick · 28/10/2008 18:25

I read LoveMyGirls' post first and nearly closed the thread - then figured I may as well read the OP ... and all became clear

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 28/10/2008 18:30

I did wonder if anyone would think 'dirty' rather than what I was really ranting about

and, can;t lick it off, it is all hairy.....

((spilt on the carpet

Footballs? Or the wee bouncy ones they seem to accumulate?

Tell DH you want more wine NOW or there will be no playing with any kind of balls later....

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 28/10/2008 18:43

he is currently cooking dinner for me so I cannot possibly now and demand more wine.....((altho, TBF, it was only a glass full....I DO have more in the bottle)), tis just that I have had a very very very demanding day with my aunt and upset children and the wine was the very last straw that broke me IYGWIM.

Oh, and it was a mini ball, bouncy, bigger than normal bouncy balls but smaller than a football.

in fact, tennis ball size solid rubber bouncy ball.

only thing in their favour........wine glass is still in one piece!

hatrick, I am afraid so. They find balls early on in life I have found, and rarely let them go

and yes, he is cooking for me invisablespook.......but I had trauma with my aunt, so he felt that it was cook or starve......

Good for you.. you have him well trained . Hope everything is ok for you.

Am practicing my pouty 'go back out and buy me wine or I'll cry' look for when dh come in .

Hatick, you will soon become an expert in all the types of balls and thier uses if you have sons

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 28/10/2008 20:07

he is well trained

altho not in the use (or lack of) balls in the house!!!

It was only when it got to the part about knocking your wine over that it all became clear

Knocking my wine over is a hanging offence in this household

PsychoAxeMurdererMum · 29/10/2008 08:57

awww kerry, you could have made it rude if you'd liked!!! any ball playing irritates me if on show

sunny......it very nearly was a hanging offence. Even DH cowered in the wrath of my glare.....and that was ALL I needed to do.....GLARE. And they knew I was ever-so-slightly irritated.......
