Mr B sits on the settee. A large cup of steaming tea rests beside him atop a small coaster on which his sweet 7 year old’s innocent little face is emblazoned.
As he turns a page of his book he raises the mug to his lips and takes a deep satisfying drink. Seconds later his book is a soggy, dripping mess and he is attempting to turn his laughter into a coughing fit while at the same time his brain scans through a multitude of possible answers to his small child’s question…
Miss E: Daddy, what would be the best name for a band, “Strawberry Lips” or “Suck my Straw?”

Oh fantastic! You are going to have to explain how he got out of that one

How on Bob’s green earth did she come up with that??

LOL spat my wine at the computer.
Like the new look too.

I’d vote for a combination:
“Suck my Straw, Strawberry Lips”
July 24th, 2008 at 6:31 am
I vote for Suck my Straws, I think that is very original.

Good heavens what does that girl read? Hubby listens to Red Hot Chilli Peppers in the car and my 5-year-old used to tell anyone who would listen that his favourite song is Suck My Kiss!

Sounds like something out of Spinal Tap.
July 24th, 2008 at 8:37 am
Hmmm…well at least Suck My Lips wasn’t an option.
July 24th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Bwahahahahah!

Clearly “Suck My Straw” wins, hands down.
I wish I’d thought of it!
July 24th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
oooooh leenda and i were on the same page tonight! i was going to say ’strawberry lips suck my straws’! oh yeah!
i totally guffawed at this. okay chuckled. no, guffawed.
July 24th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
Hahahahahahaha
No warning? Geez, Jo! i was taking a drink, too!
Luckily, I kept it inside my mouth…
But Suck My Straw is soooo much better. Duh.

Belle, he went for Strawberry Lips but apparently that is already a name in some programme called “I Carly” or something. Which means E, who is quite fond of milkshakes, obviously thought suck my straw was a better one. Blimey.
Lilacs, all I can think of is it was the milkshake link. Heh heh.
Lee, now that would be good, snort.
Irene, I love how she thinks. Original is good.
Tara, that is so funny. We’ve had to monitor our listening habits a little. Mr B loves Ian Drury and the Blockheads but it wouldn’t be good to have a small child singing “Wake up and make love to me” or The Buzzcocks “Orgasm Addict.”
Dumdad, Lick my Lovepump.
Momo, noooooooooooooooooooo.
Kim, I know, hee hee.
Susan, sighhh, me too.
Holl, I love the word guffaw. I have seen you guffaw, it’s lovely. ;D
Sybil, sos babe, and Suck my Straw rocks.

Shame about the spluttered tea. Love how kids take you by surprise with their shock questions! Our daughter asked if we would have another baby and could she please see how we do the ‘magic cuddle’ to get it in there. Erm …

Snort, ‘the magic cuddle’ that one is priceless lovely Gone Back South.
