Sounds like a good dinner to me! What’s the problem?

When I was in year 1 at school I broke my arm. Twice. The second time was only a few weeks after the plaster came off from the first time and it happened when I was spending the afternoon with friends and we were out walking their dog.

I tripped and fell and much to my friend’s mum’s horror announced I had broken my arm again. I have a vivid memory of her asking me if I was sure and me pointing out that it really wasn’t supposed to be BENT like that and that I knew it was broken because that’s how it had looked the first time I did it!

Hello *waves* I just had to delurk for this because I’ve been in Charlie’s role in conversations like that and reading this post made me shudder and smile at the same time

my mom had to institute rules about what was and was not inappropriate dinnertime conversation. especially when we started comparing the appearance of foods to things that came out of our bodies.

Eek! I’d be losing it with that kind of talk - I’m a huge wimp.

I am so thankful that one of mine can’t talk at all and the other can only barely string sentences together. And then my daughter is too haughty to talk to us at dinner.

sounds like perfect dinnertable conversation to me.

but then the things WE talk about would make a sailor blush.
