Darnedest (& knittedest) Things

I don't often talk about my endlessly put-upon Middle Daughter, Miss H.

At least, that's what she tells me... And my (middle) sister backs her 100%.

Pftt! Like she's know anyway.

However over the last couple of days she has come out with a couple of corkers, which to my utter shame, upon hearing them, my immediate reaction was 'I must remember to blog about this'.

1. During a discussion about pubic hair over the dinner table (please. don't ask. just go with it here), amid much hilarity between MrB, Miss M and myself over her use of the word 'public' hair, Miss H asks for clarification... We explain what 'pubic' hair is... She ponders this, then states, quite matter-of-factly

"But that would be private hair surely? Not Public..."

2. Sitting down to watch 'Thank God You're Here' this evening, I was most excited at the inclusion of Ross Noble in the cast. He rocks. They do their little spiel thing with Shane at the beginning and Miss H declares "He's funny. And he's French"

I do believe that may have been the only moment in history where a Geordie accent was mistaken for French, but there you go...

She really does exist in her own universe.

Some one left the cake out in the rain

For your reading pleasure, I present to you

Each and every birthday cake between ages 5 and 21
(as workshopped by Grizzlewick and his grandmother last night)

5 - banana cake with lolly bananas on it

6 – cricket bat cake

7 – traffic light cake

8 – “another train cake”

9 – square cake

10 – a bowl cake with lollies

11 – a milo cake

12 – a box cake of chocolate frogs

13 – a barbecue shape cake with shapes

14 - a “snot rod” cake

15 – cat shape with M and Ms

16 – lots of cup cakes

17 – football cake

18 – a hot rod cake

19 – light globe cake

20 – rubbish truck cake

21 – fish finger cake

I am intrigued by the notion of both "barbecue shape cake with shapes" and "a bowl cake with lollies". And why he wants a "light globe cake" is beyond me.

Whatever decisions he makes about changing cake fashion between now and then, there is simply NO WAY that he is not being presented with a "fish finger" cake at his 21st.
