Lookin' Cool...
It went like this...
'You're looking really cool today, mum/mom'
'Thank you...' (modest blush of maternal pride) (ever so pleased took trouble to match black slacks with red shirt and black woolly vest/waistcoat from men's department of local supermarket)
BUT...
We all know that sightings of the author outside of the writing cave during 'writing time' are ... let me hunt for the right word here... Okay then, 'Orrible. (WILL THAT DO?)
Daughter: (after closer inspection of mother in Starbuck's): But what are those white spots on the sleeve of your shirt?
Mother: Er, those? Nothing, dear... Perhaps a little flour from baking that yummy home-made apple pie for your father. (Buggar! Should have been more careful with the bleach when I cleaned the loos)
Daughter: And what is that white mark on your 'tank top'?
Mother: (Tank top? Is that what I'm wearing- am I deluding myself that this garment is still fashionable?)
(And...Bloody ell'? Am I really that old?')
'Er, Nothing dear... or, perhaps a little more flour from baking that yummy apple pie for your father. (that I picked up from the freezer department from Sainsbury's)
(Bloody, bloody 'ell..,) Having examined said tank-top) (it's toothpaste- am I dribbling now?)
Daughter: Mum... do you know your fly's undone?
Bloody, bloody, bloody 'ell!
Cool? Moi?
I don't think so!
Love to all, and happy reading everyone!
And thank you, Nienke, for loving this site! If you want one just like it girls look no further than Wendy at Artemis Web design- you'll find her little doozit on my home page
And Nienke- you were right- my other pooter is toast!
