Aparently I’m cooler than next door’s mum
well, at the time this was declared by my very generous offspring, I was in fact beyond cool and had dipped into down right chilly cos the sun had gone in, the wind had got up and I was still in my cossie the paddling pool with Aprilia watering the garden by the simple expedient of flailing around to see who could splash highest and fastest. The next door kids thought this was somehow not apropriate behaviour for a mother! I feel it is entirely apropriate as it was either that or do the housework, and whilst housework my win the attentions of neighbour mum, I find you start to not notice mess a lot faster than you start to not notice your child!
