Precocious Progeny May 8, 2007

Posted by Jen in : Journal , trackback

Puberty has a lot to answer for. Number 1 Son is currently working on his Brian Blessed voice. Seriously, it makes the cutlery rattle in the kitchen drawer.

Shouting Me: Stop the bloomin’ booming, can’t you? God, I’m going to have girls in my next life.

No 1: Let’s face it, if you had girls they’d be really fat. You’d probably have to live in a bungalow.

I can’t bear it. Really. How exactly did I end up with this creature with huge hands and feet who shuffles about with the body of Hagrid and the tongue of Graham Norton?

Bloody hell.

Oh I so know what you are talking about but I have the girl too and her hormones at seven than the two boys going through puberty :-) Take heart!

Ugh, Liz, kids eh? Gives us plenty of material for wisecracks though!

Kate, you can’t begin to imagine some of the stuff my lot come out with… I just don’t know where they get it from!

Oh Jen, puberty is great … well, when you get the hang of it. You can do loads of stuff you couldn’t do as a boy:

× Be BIGGER than your mum and generally Loom
× Eat a significant per percent of an entire shopping trolley in one go
× Do Brain Blessed Mad Shouty Person Impressions
× Sulk on an Industrial Scale
× Sleep as if you’ve just had major surgery
× Rebel against your moral belief system
× Make you feel a fluffy slipped drudge
× Patronise you for ignorance about The Real World
× Take for granted the hospitality services you offer
× And some certain “Men Only” private things

Oh yes. Puberty is great for a bloke. At least while your mum is still looking after you.

Oh Bobo… you clearly have a great understanding of these things - I love the concept of sulking on ‘an industrial scale’. I might try that actually.

‘Men Only’ private things? Erm… huh? Such as? I can’t possibly imagine. Would you are to elaborate? No? Really?? Oh, shame :(

I have just read a flash of my future. I am so worried.

Oh dear. Sweet Caroline, how I have tried to shield you from the truth. I shan’t trouble you with issues such as smells or suchlike. I definitely won’t mention bed sheets. No, I won’t mention them at all. :(
