I was blow-drying my seven year old’s hair when she turned and asked me a question,
A7 – ‘Mummy, when can I start to wear deodorant?’
Me – ‘When you start to get a bit niffy.’
A7 – ‘When will that be?’
Gary – ‘Don’t worry, we’ll let you know!’
Me (at about the same time as Gary) – ‘When the hormones hit’
A7 (a look of understanding dawning on her face)- ‘Ahhh, that’s when I’m allowed to get angry and walk around the house crying, isn’t it?’
Gary and I glanced at each other, with wry grins on our faces……
That about sums it up nicely!
AHAHAHAHA, oh my word!! Thank you claire!! too funny
Isn’t it just?
Love it!
🙂
That is so funny that I just shot tea out of my nose and fell out of my computer chair…
And if I’d had tea in my mouth when I read your comment, I’m sure the same would have happened to me. You are too funny 🙂
Ha ha ha ha ha, I feel like mine are right on the verge, even if my “little girl” is a few years away from that.

Hahaha! Wow, they know so much more than we give them credit for sometimes. 🙂
Oh yes!
Ha! It’s so true, too!
Yup, unfortunately, it really is 🙂
