Bikini WAX - are you insane woman?! Can you still see your foof, or is the bump taking over yet?!

frasersmummy · 15/10/2008 13:56

we have just got back in from swimming

well I say swimming.. its sliding off coloured balls, coming down the flume , getting knocked over by the waves from\the wave machine and sitting on the foutain !!!

but we were in the changing room when ross asks why i have boobs and he doesnt. So I decided to tell them they were for feeding babies.. Boy was that a mistake.. did you feed Fraser with them mummy??? followed by the usual what happened when did happen why did it happen

bless him.. its lovely that he feels comfortable enough to ask but sometimes you just want to say .. look can we talk about this later!!!

frasersmummy · 15/10/2008 13:56

oh and it was ross sitting on the fountain not me!!!

shabster · 15/10/2008 14:32

Thats brill that he wants to ask Frasersmammy - BUT I know what you mean about it kind of pulling on the heart strings. Have you had the 'why havent you got a willy' conversation yet?

frasersmummy · 15/10/2008 16:05

OOH yeah .. he knows boys all have a little man for going for a pee pee and girls and ladies have a "gina"

my mother is shocked that i said vagina to him but I couldnt think of an age approprtiate word.. I think its hilarous when he says mummy and nana have a gina daddy and papa have a wee man.. my poor mother doesnt know where to put herself

shabster · 15/10/2008 18:12

that is just fab!!!! Tom used to say (his own made up words!) boys have piggies and girls have fluffys He just read over my shoulder and tutted, went bright red and backed away

lottiejenkins · 15/10/2008 18:51

Help!!! Major major domestic problems with the house! Have had a leaking pipe under the kitchen floor and the whole floor has got to come up! Totally awful...... have rung school to see if they can keep Wilf this weekend but its an escort weekend where all the children go home.. so thats a no no
Its going to take FOREVER to sort out as the floor has to be dried before it can have any work done on it........ have been in tears for parts of the evening...

Oh sweetheart - oh shite and poo!!!

Right deep breathing and nice thoughts.

The floor is just a thing.....in the great scheme of stuff it is a pain in the bum and will take a while before it is repaired.

BUT you are a strong woman who has lived through (and is still living through grief and sadness) and it seems to me you are doing a damn fine job of surviving.

Now chin up, shoulders back, smile painted on - YOU CAN DO THIS LOTTIE, ITS A PIECE OF PISS WEE WEE

lottiejenkins · 15/10/2008 22:53
