HE ASKED "DO YOU LIKE CHILDREN?" AND SHE REPLIED "INDEED.."

OH.. Back to the beginning for I must tell you how this conversation came about.. Zoooooom.. back we go.

This morning she had places to go and things to do and after doing the first three things with a friend, who was driving her around and about in exchange for a favour that she'd done them last week, she was dropped off at home to collect the second cake that was leaving the house today.. sob.. and head off in time to attend her weekly Monday weigh-in and attend the Christmas party.

Onto a 14 bus she got with her cake carrier and they started trundling off down the Fulham Road, a lot of noise came down the stairs and suddenly there appeared two little boys and a very tall exquisite young woman who was, obviously, their mother.

The racket got louder and louder, she smiled at their mum, who rolled her eyes and tried to quieten the boys down a notch or two. My mama beckoned her towards her and whispered "but they'll grow up and you'll miss all of this," and immediately, the boys rushed over and the biggest boy said "what did you said to mummy?", she smiled and said "that's a secret..", then the littler of the two looked straight into her eyes, she was sitting down and he was standing right in front of her, and he said.. "Do you like children?"

It isn't often that God gives you this opportunity.. she smiled a very 'foxy' smile and licked her lips and said, in a veryvery scary voice "Yes, indeed, I love children but I would only be able to eat half of you at a time"..

Their mother howled, she squealed with laughter and said "OH, HOW SIMPLY WONDERFUL.. Now Tom, you must remember to tell daddy this tonight" and she leant down and forward and gave my mama a huge hug.

The two little boys didn't know whether to laugh or cry! But certainly the other people on the bus did! And a number 14 red London bus rocked with laughter.. all the way down the Fulham Road.

Sometimes.. just sometimes.. the perfect phrase comes to mind! An old 'perfect' phrase..

GeeGee Parrot.
