In or sprout – a matter of taste
Eldest son makes an interesting observation about the movement for a second referendum.
“I can’t believe it’s all these adults going on about it,” he says, “when it’s adults who always drone on... ‘Oh you can’t say you don’t like sprouts if you haven’t tried them’ when they haven’t tried Brexit yet.” “Good point, I say,” still wary about ripping this country further apart with another referendum campaign.
Son goes on: “If it’s on your plate you just have to get on and eat it is what you lot always say, even if it smells like farts and looks like snot.” “Precisely,” I reply. “So you’ll be eating your sprouts at Christmas?”
“No way. They’re gross.” Gillian and Cheryl we the Busy week for embarrassing mothers.
First Gillian McKeith steps out with her daughter like Tinkerbell on HRT, then it turns out Emma Thompson has written a sex manual for her teenage girl.
Still, if you think that’s bad spare a thought for little Bear Payne who must have been hiding in embarrassment behind the baby walker during his mother’s X-rated X Factor performance this week.
