Parents!

Mother is singularly unimpressed with the butternut squash, my one-upping sis got her one last week. Doh...trumped again. Her and nanny seem close to blows. The toll on my mum really does worry me. Fridays malapropisms and verbage dont fail to dissapoint. Dilys bought her strawliners for christmas??? Takes the length of Picton road to realise she mean draw liners, not some sort of natural fibre panty liners. In the inevitable traffic jam she exclaims I stick my finger in and lick it for no apparent reason. Which in the context of the current conversation is disturbing. i am relieved whe i see the creme egg advert, mother meanwhile is taking about crocuses and the poor quality of her christmas gifts. We are further along the road when she shouts "how do you eat yours." Completing the creme egg thread and then moves on to the poor quality of Uncle Billys meat. Ruth Got her the crocuses and easter eggs in the shop it is still christmas. Careful analysis by a highly trained mental health clinician might conclude Flight of Ideas or even Knights move thinking. Its non of the above really just her own multistranded conversation which if you right it down you can follow.
Thing is her and Nanny both do it to their own mysterious rhythym. It is amazing and confusing to watch, and Ally and I look like meerkats whilst observing.
