Rude Mother At The Park - Tight Over Banana

[Oneday]

I was asking about mother and toddler groups. I don't know her, but we've spoken a couple of times and I've always found her weird with me. So on this occasion her little girl had run off, having presumeably eaten most of the banana. My little girl reached out at the banana in the woman's hand (only a tiny piece left). She hid it behind her back, said "Oh, you like banana too, do you?" with a "Tough S**t" expression on her face and a ridiculous smile to me. What sort of cow would begrudge a baby reaching out for a piece of wretched banana? What is wrong with her?

She has not taken to me from the outset, this woman, and I've tried to be overly pleasant so that I am the 'bigger' person in this, not lowering myself to being rude etc and possibly trying to prick her conscience because she is always off with me.

I know it's not that big a deal, and I'm hardly crying into my pillow about it, but this is not on. Is it?

OK, I'll get back in my box, I'm not the only one who read it that way!

Had a wonderful vision of a Mum doing rude things in the park with a banana and pair of tights. Perhaps stepping out from behind trees with banana in the tights and scaring flashers???

I did think it was typo for FIGHT OVER BANANA

best thread title for a long time

It's much funnier today than it was last night. Perhaps because I have a nice bottle of wine chilling in preparation for another round of something this evening. Anyone about? I really still think that the case of wine idea with Mumsnet discounts is fantastic. Different thread titles for different wines. Or tequilas? One thread for normal, one for the hallucinogenic worm ones. Possibly.

Or the tights over the head and the banana inside the trench coat as a sort of armed robbery. Rude mother after armed robbery went awry, went to the park with her child to cool off. Then gave the child the banana, and the rest is history. You see, when I turned up, perhaps she'd hidden the tights that were over her head only minutes beforehand. Gosh, Mud, a whole other new light has been thrown on the situation. Possibly. Pregnant armed robbers would surely get off for diminished responsibility.
