Silent mirth!!

You probably had to be there.... JT was there and didn't really find it funny, but I was in hysterics!!

This evening we paid a visit to Nando's, where my friend Annie works. We had just ordered our food when I noticed a very posh family at the table next to us. being a bit of an avid people watcher, I observed them with interest, but wasn't really prepared for what I saw!

The mother (in her forties, shortish blonde stylishly dyed hair, navy blue M&S trouser suit with high waist band and white T-shirt, know the sort? Slim and professional looking) was sitting at an angle by one of her sons, who was probably about 7. He had an over-sized mop of blonde hair and little glasses.

I turned in astonishment as the little boy (who was playing with a cocktail stick) with a deft and somewhat mistaken flick of the wrist 'pinged' the cocktail stick straight out of his hand and straight down his mother's cleavage!! I opened my mouth in horror but the mother didn't even notice!! It went straight down her top and there it stayed. The little boy looked horrified, mortified and guilty all at once, but didn't say anything, he just turned around and ate his dinner. I was fidgety all the way through dinner with visions of this poor lady standing up and puncturing something, followed by a steady hiss of air as one of her boobs deflated... Maybe I have watched too many cartoons...

The lady stood up and left without any of the above occurring, but I can't help wondering at her confusion when she undresses later and finds a cocktail stick where cocktail sticks are not normally present!!
