I have had a hilarious and embarrassing evening with DS2
He was very displeased at his dad earlier after being told to stop winding the dog up. I walked into the kitchen at the end of the conversation........DS2 saying to OH 'shut up you big dogger' OH looked like someone had slapped him and I couldn't do anything but giggle.......I couldn't help it
DS2 called me into his bedroom. He said to me 'ok mum, a dogger is obviously not someone who stops people annoying dogs.....can you please explain what it is and why it made you laugh so much' :eek:

That was brilliant:rotfl:

It reminded me of a story from Gervase Phinn, the former schoolteacher turned author, and I've finally tracked it down - as told in his book 'Little Gems'....


I think every parent and every teacher has been put in the situation when children have said something which has caused us deep embarrassment.
I had just finished taking the assembly in a junior school in Scarborough, having told the children about the old Viking route known as the Lyke Wake Walk. Legend has it that the Vikings carried the ‘lyke’ or corpse across the bleak moors to the sea, where the body was given up to the waves.
‘Well, I hope you all enjoyed that,’ I said cheerfully when I had finished. The children and their teachers nodded. ‘Are there any questions?’ I looked across a sea of silent children. ‘Anything at all?’
‘Come along now, children,’ came the headteacher’s voice from the back of the hall. ‘I’m sure there are lots of things you would like to ask Mr Phinn.’
A young frizzy-haired infant with a pale, earnest face raised a hand.
‘Ah, there’s someone,’ I cried, relieved that at least one child had found the story sufficiently interesting to ask a question. ‘Yes, and what would you like to ask?’
‘What’s a condom?’
‘Pardon?’ I jumped up as if I had been poked with a cattle prod.
‘A condom? What’s a condom?’ repeated the child.
I was completely lost for words.
‘Well, it’s…’ I began, looking appealingly towards the teachers.
‘It’s a snake,’ snapped the headteacher quickly.
‘No, that’s an anaconda, miss,’ volunteered a young, helpful, red-headed boy in the senior class.
‘It’s a bird,’ announced a teacher with great assurance.
‘Condor,’ exclaimed the child at the back. ‘You’re thinking of a condor, miss.’
The little boy, entirely undeterred, continued with the grilling. ‘But what is a condom?’
‘It’s something you will learn about when you are older,’ replied the headteacher firmly.
‘Is it a rude word, miss?’ asked the innocent.
‘No, it’s not a rude word, John.’
‘Can I call somebody a condom then, miss?’
‘No! You certainly cannot!’ she snapped.
‘Somebody called me a condom, miss,’ the infant told the teacher.
‘Well, they shouldn’t have,’ said the headteacher. ‘Ignore them.’
‘Does it begin with a curly ‘C’ or a kicking ‘K’?’ asked a fresh-faced little girl at the front.
‘A curly ‘C’, Sarah, but–’ replied the headteacher.
‘And is it spelt C-O-N-D-O-M?’ she asked, articulating every letter slowly and deliberately.
The frizzy-haired child continued to persevere and still had his hand in the air.
‘Right, children,’ the headteacher told them loudly. ‘Put down your hand now, John. Everyone sit up straight, look this way, arms folded, and when we are ready we can return to our classrooms.’
When the time came for me to leave, I paused at the gate of the small school to marvel at the panoramic view which stretched out before me - but was brought out of my reverie by the sound of voices. Out of sight, behind the craggy stone wall which enclosed the school, I observed three or four young boys gathered around the red-haired pupil who had tried to put his teachers right about what a condom was. He was explaining to his fascinated companions that ‘You can get them in different sizes, different colours…’

Aww, shucks:o thanks

You should've said you were a loiner:) that would've made it a lot easier. The best Chinese supermarkets in Leeds are on Vicar Lane, and the best of those IMHO is Taste the Orient (aka Hang Seng Hong, aka Wing Lee Hong), near the bottom of Grand Arcade)
