An easy mistake to make?

DH works long hours on his lap top. Last night was no exception. He had to prepare for a meeting today and has been at the Welsh site for the past 2 days so I've not seen much of him this week.

Eventually I persuaded him to put work away and watch a film with me. But I could still hear typing. Gave DH several judgey looks. Couldn't see a laptop Confused. Still the typing continued, baffling Hmm.

Then looked past DH to the hutch. Millie Pig was busily crushing away at cabbage. Readers you guessed it, sounded just like a high speed typist. Tap, tap, tap Grin

An easy mistake to make, right by tired stressed mother of teen Wink Grin

My guess is that Milie Pig thought your DH had a lot of busy cabbage work to do and decided to help out so he could have a rest.

Crushing* I mean crunching Confused

Fernie, if only eating cabbage paid the bills, we would all work apart from DD1 and be stinking in so many ways rich Grin

Now you need to convince your piggies to Sing.
It really does can sound like a trapped starling in the house.
Or it can sound like the sweetest birdsong.

70 does that mean you have a singing pig too? Naughty girl sings occasionally. Isn't it Bonkey that has the other singing pigs? They could form a band Smile

Afterall if the dads on mumsnet have a boy band, why shouldn't the SFA form a pop band.

Their name would be 'The Cavies'

They would start a new dance craze called 'The Popcorn'

Song title anyone? Smile

No singing pigs here Sad
I had two sows when I was a child who were singers (both sows were the mum pigs) .
The boars tell me that it's not the most productive use of their faces (ie: they could be eating Hmm )
Yes bonkey had the singing boar (I think she couldn't tell which one because they always stopped when disturbed) but there was a recording somewhere (must search)

GP1 and GP3 could pull on some babysocks though and be Sockpigs then throw some shapes on the dancefloor Grin

I'll bet Hot Gossip are worrying.

It's on 30/12/12 "Singing Guinea-Pigs" thread with recording.

Wonder what GP3 would think?
GP1 was poised for action when he heard it before.

Yes that's the thread, back in the day when Shai's nick name was 'Shy Girl' before the tumble dryer incident and she became 'Naughty Girl'.

She's done a few more solo performances since then but we've not been able to record them.
