Pipes and drains - macaroni pudding.

Lol muffy - I used to put dishes of food on the table and tell the children they wouldn't like it till they were grown up. They used to tuck in to all manner of stuff.
Last week I had brought something and said to my son.......I'm not sure you will like it. He glared at me through his 28 year old eyes and said........Don't you DARE tell me I will like it when I am grown up!

when the girls were younger they were fussy eaters and would only have sausages, fish fingers or chicken, one day I told them they were having Pink potatoes and they were intrigued and ever since when we have corned beef hash, it's called pink potatoes.
