The idea for this blog came from conversations with one of my best friends. Everytime we call each other we start the conversations with “Did I A:/ Did he A: etc” For example, “I spent 2 hours cooking a delicious, nutritious stew for the children this afternoon including all the vital food groups and made sure to serve it up to them in the right coloured bowls. Did they A: say “Mummy, this looks both delicious and nutritious and we are so lucky to have a mummy that provides and cooks those kind of meals for us” Did they B: say “Mummy, I am actually quite full after eating every last mouthful of the school dinner that you so kindly pay for us to have so would you mind most awfully if I didn’t finish it all but of course I am going to at least try it and appreciate what I do eat. Or did they C: push the bowl away from them with violent force while performing gagging and choking actions and shouting that it looked and smelt so gross and why was I so mean that I was trying to starve them by giving them inedible POO!!!! You probably get the idea and if not, here’s a hint-It’s always C!!!
After several months of running through these A, B or C scenarios covering a wide range of subjects such as relationships, parenting, parents, work, money, fashion fails and incontinence and finding ourselves funny enough to turn a shit situation around I was encouraged to believe that other people might also find it a bit funny or in the least supportive and helpful. So here goes.
