Addendum to boooooooooooring!!!


I just have to add a really funny tail to the end of this story.
I was shopping in our local supermarket with my Husband. I could hear a woman berating someone in the isle over from me.
She was really getting stuck into this person about the whinging and whining, how rude this person was, what a complete tosser this person was (she actually used that phrase) how ungrateful, lazy, greedy thoughtless and stupid.
Guess who it was … Yes, one of the women who gave birth to one of the Einstein/Ghandi/Pele clones. And the person in tow who was being reviled? None other than the very son she was crowing to her friend about.
As soon as I saw her I cracked up laughing – this kid was about 16, sullen, short, rotund, spotty, had a vile smell about him and a really annoying high pitched voice. I had pictured something in the vein of Prince William not this abhorrent little worm. I’m a victim of her spin!! In fact I distinctly remember her saying her son towered over her, this kid would be lucky to be able to see eye to eye with her breasts.
I know that they say that Mothers are blind when it comes to their kids but this woman has such a vivid imagination about her little angel that it borders on mental illness.
I wonder if the other woman is just as big a liar and just as delusional.
I’ll have to listen to them ‘one up’ each other more closely next time and guffaw loudly when they mention the athleticism, intelligence, stature or saintliness of their offspring
