As I have been working today, her ladyship was appointed honorary shopping chaperone to Mrs Beeton in my absence. I have received three phone calls so far.
Call number one;
"Mum, where's the pomegranate juice kept?"
"Urm, aisle two I think sweetie, who's that for, it's not on my list, and Grandma doesn't drink it does she?"
"No, an old guy just asked me where it was. Thanks. Bye."
Call number two;
"Mum, mum she's got the trolley, I'm sorry she just took it while I wasn't looking. Gran, GRAN, don't..!" Click.
Call number three;
"Ok, if you ever offer my services again, I'll put myself up for adoption or I'll call childline."
"Oh come on sweetie, just remember you are your mother's daughter, and by the way, nobody wants to adopt 22 year olds they're too expensive, and I don't think childline will be interested either."
"It's no joke mum, do you know what she did to me?"
Stiffling the urge to giggle, "No, what?"
"Are you laughing at me?"
"No, no darling I would never,"
"She made me hold her hand when we were crossing the road,"
Excuse me while I go and pour myself another tall cool drink... it's a dirty job but someone has to do it. ;0)
21 at confession:
Nicely side-stepped and very sneaky. I thought you were a saint?
Regards.
Chris.
a saint? more like a sinner!!
Great way to learn respect for your elders... :)
Oh wow! I love your new template! It's gorgeous! Looks like I've missed out on a lot! I have some serious reading to do.
Fabulous!
ohhhh st jude that was very very devilish of you *giggles* good going
I am surprised that the store even let then in after the last trip. Nicely delegated St Jude.
Don't you ned a license to operate a trolley??? Or you should...
That was priceless...
Nice job of delegation :-) Enjoy your drink!
Your halo is looking rather tarnished lately (snicker)
See, it's worth having children just for this!
Call number one is hilarious, btw. As are numbers 2 and 3.
LOVED #2. made me burst out laughing.
#3 was my favourite :).
Remind your daughter to suck it up, that we all had to do it, and she'll be busy dumping you on her children in just a few more years.
LMAO!!!

::snicker snicker::
Mrs Beeton reads like a handful and then some! Quite sneaky of you to delegate like that, but remember "be nice to your children, they'll eventually choose your retirement home!" - That's what I keep telling my mother!
Long time, no post. Everything OK or have you disappeared on holiday without teelling anyone?
What Kim said!
Echoing Kim and Attila.
Great stuff! :-D
