It’s just before 10am and we’re on our way to Rosie’s house for Misses E and M to play with Ingenious Junior, and for me to play have witty and intelligent conversation and numerous cups of tea and coffee with Rosie.
As we stroll down a quiet sun filled street a middle aged man crosses the road in front of us laden with a large green holdall.
As he reaches his car, his voice blares out in a strong local accent (think Shane Meadows films.)
Man: “Don’t touch me maggots.”
Snigger.
I didn’t touch his maggots, I promise.

Okay! Don’t touch his maggots!
Funny! LOL!
And you think what I overhear is funny …
He had his maggots on show???
There is a certain wisdom to his words…
Kitten, I didn’t even want to touch him, never mind his maggots. Hee hee,
Daryl I know, it made me laugh so much.
Akela, I didn’t actually see them but it certainly sounds like it. Tsk.
Kim, there is indeed. ;D
tee hee….that would have just left me stumped. I would have giggled though. Did the girls ask you what he meant?
Hee hee Corey, Miss M didn’t notice and Miss E just glanced at me and wrinkled up her nose then giggled as she saw me trying to stifle mine. It was just so funny.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
You know you tried to touch them.
Um, I’m not sure what’s funnier— the fact that this happened to you, or the fact that you filed it under “pets.” Hahahahaha. If “maggots” are “pets” then I weep for you children…
Perhaps he was on his way to show off his maggots at a Larvae Festival and didn’t want them to get dirty.
Hee hee.
hmmmm do you think he was talking to the people in his head?
i’m not sure who shane meadows is, and i’m thinking that’s a good thing.
i am always ALWAYS glad when people want me *not* to touch their maggots, because i am ALWAYS willing to comply.
Sybil, ok, I did. ;D
Brillig, they might be his pets, he was very protective of them.
Susan, that might be it. Maybe they were all washed and primped and had had their hair done.
Lindy. oh my bob, maybe he had maggots on his head.
Holly, I know, I’m always willing to comply too. Shivers.
