Just another day
NS February 24th, 2010
All except one of the following happened to me today. Can you guess which is false?
- One of my children climbed onto another, unsuspecting child’s back and began to wriggle around in what looked remarkably like a mating ritual in a David Attenborough nature series
- While brushing my teeth at the sink, naked except for a towel draped round my shoulders, I was assaulted from behind with a battery-operated pasta-twirling fork
- When I walked upstairs to check on my daughter and her friend, I found them pretending to have babies on the toilet. Talk about a water birth!
- I burned the children’s dinner so let them eat peanut butter and Pringles instead
- My son, in his haste to get to his precious ‘mamas’ (i.e. my boobs), managed to pull my nursing top down and expose my breast while I was talking to another parent at a coffee social this morning at my daughter’s pre-school
I read an article in the Daily Mail and vehemently agreed with itSorry, even I couldn’t keep a straight face while typing that
Any guesses?

LOL, I want to say the Daily Mail one, that surely didn’t happen. All the rest probably did – these things happen to Mums!
All in a days work eh?

@Gappy, Oh and by the way there’s an award for you over at mine. I suspect you may already have it, but hey ho, you can never have too many awards eh.
Quite the naturist today.
Surely the perfect audience for the Mail?
Thanks for this. I needed a good laugh. Sorry if you need to retire the pasta twirler.
I was going to guess all of them happened. Wow, sounds like a full day.
Awesome. I’m guessing the pasta fork is the fake. I don’t believe there is such a thing (and if there is where can I get one!)
Sounds like another normal day, huh? Great post, made me smile. The pasta fork was a little surprising though…
That reads like the plot to a National Lampoons film from the 80′s
Is there such a thing as a battery-operated, pasta-twirling fork? What will they think of next?
To answer the question of which was false, it was the last one. Noble Boy *nearly* pulled my boob out of my top, but I foiled his evil plan just in time.
And yes, battery-operated pasta forks do exist. Noble Husband was given one as a silly gift on his birthday last year and Noble Boy just loves walking around with it now. Nothing says ‘I’m lazy’ like a fork that twirls pasta around itself!
Why on earth do you have a battery-powered pasta twirling fork anyway?
What imagination to pretend to have babies on the toilet…the whole list made me smile. Thank you ;0))
Oh and I’ve seen a pasta twirling fork…yes my toddler would love getting hold of one of those lethal weapons.
