Making an 'Effort'
So we were watching Desperate Housewives the other night and both balked at Tom’s line to Lynette; ‘Sometimes you know, men like women to….. make an effort’ We thought it was a touch out of character and not something you would say to a woman (who obviously has self esteem issues) just before you were about to get it on.
Although after some probing I did admit that had I been planning a night of passion all day (as she had) It probably would have occurred to me to change the baby puke top.
The very next day, I decided to make a little bit of ‘effort’ for the Beer Festival, I changed into a floaty skirt, sandals and nice top. We got there a little early though and decided to feed the ducks by the river for a while beforehand. So as soon as I sat down on the grass Mr. PE exclaimed,
‘Eww what’s that on your skirt?’
I looked down and sure enough there was a great big chunk of squashed Kellogs Fruit Winder attached to my backside. How it got there I will never know, I got changed about a second before I left the house and Littleone had not had anything to eat since I had been wearing the skirt.
‘Eww’ I said tying to pick it off ‘It’s a bit of Fruit Winder’
An enormous smile spread across his lips, he couldn’t resist the opportunity (and who could blame him?)
‘Sometimes you know, men like women to….. make an effort’
We both nearly fell in the river laughing.
Well maybe you had to be there….
