Overheard in a Maidstone shoe shop
(Mum with a young son, talking to friend in shop)

Mum: "...Yeah we're going to see his dad later"

Son: "My dad's in prision!"

Mum: "Do you have to let everyone know!"

» I hurt my rude bits

I burnt my arse via a meat-based drink
A member of my family used to have a liking for bowls of Bovril - that popular beef beverage - with chunks of bread soaked into it.
Not the most fancy of meals I know, but then again he was a bit of a cunt.

One day he made said 'meal' in a large pyrex dish and left it on a dining room chair while he got a spoon.

Enter the five year old me not looking where I sat down

Result?
One slightly scalded, beef flavoured Boss Mew arse, a pissed off hungry family member and squishy bovril infused chunks of bread clinging to my rump

Luckily there was no permenant physical damage. Although I've never drunk Bovril since

» Terrible food

Stew a la chav
My sister told me one day of the 'lovely' meat stew her family had had the previous sunday

Her secret?

Using the cold meat from a takeaway donor kebab which her bloke had brought the previous night...

Beat that Delia!

» Where is the strangest place you have slept?

Asleep on the throne
After my uncle died my aunt stayed at 'Chateau La Boss Mew' for a bit.

Maybe it was the grief but she had the worrying habit of watching the TV until at least 3am. And at rather a high volume.

Because my bedroom was directly over the living room the echoy strains of crappy films kept me awake at night.

As a result I use to keep falling asleep on the toilet during the day.
An unfortuate side effect was that when I woke up I couldn't walk for 5 minutes due to the lack of blood in my little legs.

» Inappropriate crushes

The list of my crushes is both long and embarassing...
...but the strangest one was when I was a toddler.

I had a crush on The Hulk.
Not of the 'Hogan' variety.
Or Bill Bixby.
I truly loved the big green fella who went 'Rarr!' a lot and threw people about.
I even had a Hulk doll that I took to bed with me.

*cue sad Hulk end credit music*

I still have the doll but have lost the longing for a big, green, angry, musclebound, gamma-ray-accident-created mutant.
