I unexpectedly ran into Green Eyes as I was coming home (early) yesterday, and she came upstairs with me so she could blow a kiss to her grandmother from the safe distance of the top landing. She is a nurse in London, so she was taking no chances. Not many people actually want to kill their own grandmother, even accidentally.
As I put the key in the door she said, "You should clean your knob."
It took a while for her to understand why I was smiling.
Oh Tom - you and Montelbano between you are keeping me sane through it all.
ReplyDeleteWe watch Montalbano every night too!
DeleteSensible advice, from a nurse too!
ReplyDeleteShe is a children's' nurse though...
DeleteI have to clean my knobs and knockers on a regular basis . XXXX
ReplyDeleteYou could eat your dinner off my knob.
DeleteThis is what happens when the young are so protected.
ReplyDeleteI did my best to make sure she was not over protected. When she was about 11 her mother asked her what she would do if confronted by a bull on a country walk she was planning. "Tell it to fuck off" was her response.
DeleteSo good for the very young to have their circumaural headphone on - on the other hand: a little blush hightens green eyes in a very becoming way...
ReplyDeleteShe does not blush.
Delete"Carry on Nurse" films are due a revival, it seems.
ReplyDeleteGood point - ooh err missus!
DeleteToo many responsibilities in these hard times.
ReplyDeleteShe had enough before these hard times.
DeleteYou are the nicest grandpa.
DeleteIt was good advice, in all directions and applications!
