We were chatting, and she meant to say 'flogging a dead horse'.
Instead, she blurted out 'thrashing a dead dog'.
Several seconds of silence.
ME: "Where the fuck did that come from?"
MUM: "I don't know".
Cue prolonged aches of laughter.
(She's a superb painter, not known for words, but this was a good 'un)
