Say it out loud & see how it sounds

[nevertidy]

Taking a shower the narration was as follows....'These are so much more fun than Tampax'! Couldn't help thinking what this may have sounded like to anyone else outside the room.

In fairness I was being pelted with Tampax at the time by DS (18 mth) who is currently known as Youweresoclosetobeingputonebay Atfouramthismorning. Desperately extolling the virtues of rubber ducks was just not enough and the Tampax assault continued until shampoo was out and DS was disarmed.

Have you ever caught yourself saying ludicrous stuff that so desperately needs context?! Fingers crossed this didn't carry through the open window...

I find myself singing all sorts of utter rubbish to DD who laughs and giggles at it all, this morning it was, "mummy puts her knickers on, mummy puts her knickers on......." (slinking off to the outer wherevers!).

You appear to have a much more appreciative audience nearlycooked! Does DD reprise these tunes in the supermarket? DS is non verbal at the mo so this issue has yet to stalk me...

I get my phrases repeated by my nursery children when they go home I really need to be careful, one parent said "where did my DD get the phrase 'keep your hands to yourself!', she says it to us all the time at home" err, that would be me then
At least I could come back with "where did she get 'cor, I'm knackered ' from, that's definitely not one of mine"
I'm always saying odd stuff in public with my own DCs though, just this week:
" ARE you a ponky head? Then you don't have to believe him"
"float the bucket then shoot him in the face! Now! The face! That's it" (Lego harry potter)
"you just wiggle them one at a time, it's easy when you can" (eyebrows)
"nothing says 'I love you' like pliers to the face" (animatronic cat - don't ask)

'float the bucket.......Now! The Face...'

Totally creased me inmysparetime

animatronic cat - no, won't ask.........

I often wonder "what would people who could only hear my life think of me?"
It wasn't even an odd week

As a toddler DD1 went through a phase of fiddling with herself downstairs. ONe night in the bath DH pipes up reasonably loudly 'Just take your fingers out your fanny!' Before I pointed out the bathroom window was wide open and our neighbour was out in his garden!!
I then kept saying things loudly that included DD1's name so that he didnt think DH was talking to me!

Neighbour never mentioned it to me! :)

Also been caught singing in the supermarket once.
I had both girls sitting in a double trolley and was wiggling the trolley singing Jelly on the plate, completely oblivious to the other shopper.- Anything to keep them both happy!
I felt a tap on the shoulder and it was a friend who said she heard me singing and told me I was such an 'earth Mother'

Today - "dd2, stop hitting mummy on the head with the chocolate bar!"

Pigleychez - a belly laugh for the fanny comment!!....blimey that one is going to make me smile all week

Just now "don't lick the floor! Just because you can doesn't mean you should"
This was to a 7yo!
