Jason sent Tilly upstairs after tea to put the shower on. He sent Tallulah to collect towels. He sent Oscar up after them. They all gathered together upstairs, supposedly to actually get into the shower.
We were downstairs sorting out the debris/tea. We could hear them on the baby monitor. There was a lot of squeaking. There were no sounds of running water. A couple more minutes passed to much the same effect.
Jason went upstairs to investigate.
Jason: ‘Tilly. Why isn’t the shower on yet?’
Tilly: ‘Because….well…..because…..I was adjusting the temperature.’
Jason: ‘You adjust the temperature when the water is actually running. What were you actually doing?’
Tilly: ‘Well….you see….well.’
Jason: ‘Tilly! Just tell me what you were doing for God’s sake.’
Tilly mumbles something into her chest.
Jason: ‘What?’
Tilly: ‘We were licking each other.’
Huge silence.
Jason: ‘Right. Well get into the shower then.’
He turns to leave.
Jason: ‘And no more licking each other please.’
He comes downstairs.
We sit at the kitchen table and cry with laughter.
It’s one way to keep the water bills down I suppose. Abandon showers completely and just go for the licking method.
Children or kittens , which would you prefer and why ? Discuss, covering no more than three sides of paper.
Kittens.
They have cuter tails and they take themselves outside for a shit.
Too funny! Just out of interest, did Jason notice ifthey were actually any cleaner?
Oh that is glorious. I love your children. They sound so fabulously chaotic and insane, just like my own dear wee ones. Thank goodness you have been able to record that conversation for posterity!
That is priceless!
On a Buffy/Angel aside, I thought you might be as saddened as I was today to learn that Lorne has died: http://tinyurl.com/d6ypvl (don’t worry, it’s safe to click, I just shortened the lengthy address using tinyurl)

No. I think they were just adding layers of greasy spit!

Will they thank me for it later though when I show this to prospective marriage partners?!
Alienne
Excellent value for money I think.
Mrs Jones
Bum. That sucks. The Host was most excellent.
Thanks for letting me know though.

It did make me fall in love with them all over again.

I know. I told Jason earlier and he was sad too. Bless.
OK, all my muscles hurt BEFORE I read this. Now they really hurt. In a good way though. Too funny for words. Love it.

I’m thinking of booking them for parties except they don’t seem to perform the same way when they’re being paid cash.
