#8 Swearing
Some years ago I was visiting the ex-MrChickenlady's relatives and they have three children. Mine had just started Playgroup and so I heard this story from another mum...and I repeated it to the relatives...

S's children were playing in the bath together and she went to check on them (I forget their ages but they were quite safe from drowning). She found one of them hysterical with laughter, the other with a mouth full of foaming bubbles.

She asked what was going on....

"He said CUNT! So it's a bad word and he's washing him mouth out. It's my turn next!"



I told the relatives this story while spelling out the swear word....their eldest child was 9 at the time.

Oh bugger.


Yet another reason why the ex-MrChickenlady's family didn't like me.

Metaphors
Well, when out cycling with the mini-Chickens, (Chick-ladies does not sound right for twin boys), I needed to warn them of canine deposited smelly mines.

"Watch out for that Gordon Brown!" worked extremely well.
