How do?
Arrived at my other half's sister's place for christmas the other day. Mrs V went upstairs with her sister to wake her 2 year old niece from a nap. Niece awakens, sees my other half and says her name. Her sister says, "that's right and who comes with {Mrs V}?"

the response? "Beard!"

Not sure whether to be offended or not...

Better than "Smug!", I guess
'morning, beardy. Quiet on here today, innit?

hmm
good point. Doubt a two year old can grasp smugness just yet though.

Morning

I don't know: according to QI, ducklings instinctively know the shape of a predatory bird and are afraid of it
Do human juveniles instinctively recognise the shape of the croissant and the faint odour of white wine?

Hahhahah
That is fucking brilliant!
Out of the mouths of babes...
If she says 'smug' next year, she's a B3tan.

You should teach her to say croissant

I have a headache
I have to go back to my mum and dad's today.
I can't get out of it, because they're only having this 'civilised get-together' for me, as I've told them I won't be coming for New Year.
So, let's see how civilised my mum's side of the family can be. My dad's side were actually quite delightful on Christmas night.
I will be excaping in a taxi when they're not looking...

I'm going to play Mario Kart on my new Wii
I'm a happy camper.

I really must learn how to play a few of those things
Just so kids don't laugh at me.
I also must go and get a shower but I want to sleeeeeeep.
How's the festive season going, Al?

I've been killing Zombies for Christmas.
Wife got a Wii. I got House of the Dead Overkill, with a hand cannon. Sweet. Oh, and I had bucks fizz and a croissant for breakfast, but I couldn't smug, not with the boy taking photos and me finding out my dressing gown was gaping in them all. And no-one had noticed.
