Mother is staying and refuses to play nicely!
She refuses to have a pretty cup and saucer! Insisting on a mug.....which spoils my pretty tea trays!
She mutters about "all that washing up!" and complains "who the hell is going to see it" I shout MEEEEEE!!!!!She won't drink Earl Grey "tastes like perfume " and insists on Monkey tea (P.G tips)
She grumbles "all that faffing around!" I tried to explain that faffing is very exhausting and time consuming and so terribly difficult to get right. If you don't faff to the correct standard its just messing about and messing about will never do!
I love the occasional faff around, no correction I love to faff around so I'm with you, but remember when we were little mummy's taught us to do things correctly, and not the other way round....
ReplyDeleteCan I come to tea, for "proper" tea, I promise I will play nicely!
