Things I learned at Bounce and Rhyme
-it is not acceptable to sing 'John Brown's Donkey's Got an India-Rubber Tail, even when a nursery rhyme has shamelessly nicked the tune to Battle Hymn of the Republic.
-nobody is 'greetin' for a wee bawbag' to buy some Coulter's Candy.
-my lifelong fear of organised activities clearly stems from babyhood.
It was cringingly awful. From the 'one, two, three' count in, through the tuneless singing and trite wee gestures to the round of applause to congratulate you on thirty seconds of facile groaning.
We're going back next week. Obviously.
At the same event, one of the other mummies asked me if I'd 'managed a natural birth'. No, I was attended by non-euclidian horrors from beyond the stars, thoroughly unnatural. And you?
