- Marie: If I saw a dinosaur, I would be really scared of it.
Me: But dinosaurs don't exist any more, so you won't meet one.
Marie: When dinosaurs existed, I was really scared of them.
Jack: That's impossible because when the dinosaurs were here EVEN granny and grampa didn't exist yet.
(They're in their early 60s, but not quite dinosaurs apparently.)
- You know you have to work on the mystery in your relationship when you tweeze that stray beard hair while your husband is still in the room.

Maybe mystery is just pretense, and pretense only holds up for so long.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it can outlast childbirth, for example.
OMG, omg,omg, beard hair, one of the things I think of 'how to do it without the new guy seeing' when I think of the new man who will (please) come into my life....maybe I will have to do the midnight sneak away....feverishly plucking before you get caught...aarrrrrh. Its not the only hair I worry about either!!!!!
ReplyDelete:) Sandi xx
Your kids sound so cute.
Look- dinosaurs probably do exist. I vaguely remember them from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteHehe - beard hair!! Good luck with the mystery part.
ReplyDeletehow weird you just mentioned beard hair, considering the post i just put up.
ReplyDeletethank you for your reply on my post 27 Weeks And...
every word of encouragement or supportive guidance means a lot to me.

My daughter informed me that if her school bus was attacked by a dinosaur that the bus driver would shoot it. With her gun. I felt better!!
ReplyDeleteI think the magic is over when you poo with the door open. Poorly located hair has nothing on bathroom sharing, which I heartily disapprove of, and which I am subject to every day. Really, it is one of the worst things about being a parent or married.
Who poos with the door open?? Peeing I'm ok with. But, come on!
ReplyDelete@Jo - Maybe a little pretense is not so bad. Just a little. To do with beard hairs and the like.
ReplyDelete@Sandi - The other hair I haven't been able to conceal. :-) With a new man you'll be able to keep it up for a while, but eventually we all slip, right?
@Ms. Moon - :-)
Actually, nothing would surprise me about Florida.
@Lady Mama - Thanks.
@Maggie May - I will have to go and read that post immediately.
@GingerB - I don't poo with the door open yet. That is one small mercy. I can't poo actually until I'm all alone with my magazine and the door closed with no one shouting outside it. Issues...
@Jo - Yeah, one step too far for me too. :-)
Mystery... after pregnancy and childbirth? Forget it.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant. As for 'mystery' in a relationship -is that when they say they are going for a quick pint and you haven't a clue when they will actually return home? Or is it whether they will bring you rice or chips with the take away? Hmmmm, think you may be on to something.....
ReplyDeleteI don't even know how to spell it anymore. Mistoree? Misteri? Mystory?
ReplyDeleteOr you get him to tweeze it cos you can't quite get to it yourself.
ReplyDeleteM2Mx
Start worrying when he tweezes it for you without asking and you accept this as perfectly normal...
