Our Lydia when she was wee stayed with a farming family as denise was at work.
So one day Boydy was working with cattle in the crush, Martin says "Da shure do them with louse powder when we have them in the crush"
So Boyd complys, and cannot help noticing Lydia watching with a puzzled look on her face.
Whats bothering you Lydia he asks?
Lydia says, "Boydie whats that stuff?"
Louse power Boydie answers
Long pause
Why are you putting it on the cows? Lydia asks
To kill lice Lydia says Boydie
What are lice Boydie ?
We animals that live in among the hair Lydia
Another even longer pause
Then the clincher
Lydia says" Boydie, is that why my mummy puts that stuff down her knickers??"
Boydie falls off the rails laughing
Honest folks IT WAS Johnstons baby powder, in a very large tub.

Re: An anecdote

I might
I might also regale them with the tale of Ballycastle Homecare
A kitchen and bathroom showroom
We were looking round, Lydia was out of nappies and very good
anyway anyway
someone says to us " your wee girl has just piddled over there" by the toilet display. the staff were very good, it happens etc etc,, the toilet display confuses them etc etc.
So Denise takes Lydias knickers off, cleans her up as best possible, mops up etc etc.
Just then we bump into Clive and Sandra
A bit of chit chat, we were explaining what had happened
When in front of our eyes Lydia squats down on the door step
and drops an almighty turd :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
We simply left
Over my shoulder I asked Clive to try and explain to the staff
We have never been back since
I just might give Lydia a voucher for that particular shop for a wedding present
tee hee

Re: An anecdote

You cruel man :twisted: - great stories though!

A good reason I think to never marry - I used to worry my parents so much with my regular announcement that I was going live at home with mum and dad and have 2 kids :shock:

I can now feel the impact of that statement - having 4 kids, hopefully none of them will utter the same sentiment. In fact even being a grandmother bothers me at the moment. This probably has something to do with the fact that our eldest 'left home' this weekend to live with his girlfriend of several years and I can no longer assume he is still our little boy. Wake up Helen he's a MAN :shock:
But it is also great that we've completed our first of 4 parenting challenges :!:
(before you all start saying, but he will be back - yes, I don't expect it to be all plain sailing from here - but leaving home is a big moment, shes a great girl, they've got a fab flat etc etc 8) )

Re: An anecdote

Sound woman there Helen
I mentioned having three or four,
(or at least assisting Denise to have three or four :lol: )
My mother nearly swollowed her false teeth
Two is plenty she says
Boy am I glad I was the second of four
I was also a little smug that Lydia was born 11.5 months after Marcus :roll:
Mum sniffs ( see where I get it from Helen) and says sure ould aunt Gertie had a couple in 10.5 months.
Ego deflated
