Guilt Free Railing Four

[WouldBeGood]

The tone stays low and the railing goes on

My 4yo is of the running off variety thankfully. Well he was last time we went, over a year ago.

My two were off the running off variety and usually found a corner in which to knock lumps out of each other. I was fine with this as it was a pretty even match. Ds1 tall and shady as feck, DS2 built like a rugby forward and only 13 months younger.

It was usually some other child who'd come running to report the fight.

Haha!

I've actually just had a flashback to the last time they were at a soft play place. It was one of the wee ones attached to a restaurant.

Some kid shat in it, and it took the staff at least half an hour to come and deal with it, in which time kids were piling in and playing away quite happily next to shit.

That put me right off soft play, not that I was ever much of a fan!

@UnderHisAye < not envy! I must admit there are certain softplays I just won't go to because they're minging. I've found 2 smaller, clean ones that we used to like going to but ds probably be too big for them by the time they open up.

I don't love soft plays either. One of my sixth year pupils worked in one (quite a shit one) and I asked her if they cleaned everything regularly including the ball pit and she looked genuinely offended and said 'of course we do'.

That made me feel a bit better.

KFC and McDonalds also both very hygienic according to the other kids at her table

Yes, our best friends both work for the local McDonald's franchisee, and they have only good things to say about it.

Although KFC's food is grimmer than grim.

Oh no. I don't know what they coat that chicken in but I could eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner. 😍 and the gravy. Dear God 🤤

Something we disagree on

KFC chicken gives me major heartburn

I buy the cheapo mayflower gravy from farm foods and try to recreate it at home. Never well right enough.

I think the KFC fries are superior to McDonald’s

Though I love a maccyds breakfast. DD and I consoling ourselves with one en route to a funeral tomorrow

There is this recipe for KFC gravy. I've made it and it was fine but no idea how it compares to KFC as I've never eaten that.

I don't know what to say.

This, of all things, may be what makes me flounce from Scotsnet

I RAIL against KFC.

😂😂

There, it feels good admit it.

Oh I love a rail! I just think we like to rail about different things.

I, apparently, will die on the hill of bad chicken.

I'm disappointed in myself, truth be told.

Ahh baby ds has been napping for 90 mins and bigger ds has been happy watching Disney films and now DH is home.
I survived the day and dh said he'll do tonight with the baby and give him a bottle.
And mums on her way with our chilli.

I don't eat it often because I don't like the way chicken is farmed but it is a filthy treat. I actually would quite like to go veggie to be honest.

All sounds good shouldistop!

Not a bad day after all @shouldistop

We go veggie on and off...mostly driven by DD's conscience. It comes and goes really depending on how much she fancies a bacon roll on a Sunday.

Our KFC is filthy. I don't miss it. I much prefer McDonalds.

I do love a subway though.

Used to work in the city centre too. Five Guys was majorly overpriced.

I liked going to GBK though.

Obviously pre lockdown and vulnerabilty.

I will be reflecting today as I know too many people, including relatives, who have passed away.

@Dinosauratemydaffodils aww I'm so sorry your ds is feeling anxious about his grandads death.
My dad died 3 months before the pandemic and I think ds1 has confused the 2 things in his mind and is pretty anxious about corona virus / death in general.
Your heart breaks for them doesn't it

Our local KFC was shut down after beetles and flies were found in the kitchen
