There’s a little something I need to share with you.
I almost forgot, but thank Bob, I came across it today as I was scanning through some old pics.
Seriously, you are going to be so glad I found this again, honest, you’ll probably want to shake my hand and send me lots of money and a golden yak named Dennis.
So what is this piece of wonderment that I need to share with you?
Well, when Miss M had swine flu, and therefore Miss E and myself were also pretty much in confinement due to the lergified small one, my lovely Mum, (hello Mum), decided it would be a wonderful idea to send us various forms of entertainment to keep us occupied during our time of need. The colouring and sticker books went down a treat, as did the sweeties and the play doh, but Miss E’s favourite was the 500 piece jigsaw Granny dropped off.
Miss E and Granny love a good jigsaw, and I have to admit I don’t mind them myself occasionally as it tends to lead to some fab conversations with my big girl, as well as confirming to me that somewhere inside my scatterbrained self there is a small part of me that likes to create order out of chaos, instead of just the other way round. So once Miss M is sleeping soundly in my bed, Miss E and I clear the dining table and begin searching for edges. We barely glance at the picture. I mean it’s a ton of cute dogs. You can’t go wrong with cute dogs right?
But then…
Me: ”Oh my Bob. That looks like an enormous poo E.”
Miss E: “Ewwww, it does Mummy. And look there’s a wee here.”
We reach for the box and study it closely, then less closely.
Miss E: ”Eeeeeeeeewwwwww.”
Me: ”Blimey, what has your Granny sent us, hee hee.”
The title of the jigsaw?
“The Pee Tree.”
I mean really, I don’t need to explain anymore right?
So did we finish it?
Well what do you think?
Thanks Mum.

It’s a good thing you finished the puzzle, though, and it is one that won’t be forgotten quickly. Great for the hand eye co-ordination and whatever else it’s good for. Distinguishing pee and poop?

Now we know where you get it from. Can’t beat a good Granny!

Ammending the words I use to tell my Sisters dog that eating my toes isn’t good “Bad Granny, bad!”
But it is a little funny…

Granny!!
You can get fun jigsaws with a booklet which tells a story (eg a Famous Five mystery), and then the jigsaw is the answer to the mystery. Do your girls like those? There’s a good Xmas idea for you, and it’s not even September.

lol. That’ll teach you to trust a granny’s judgment.

Oh my GOODNESS. I have never seen that sort of puzzle!!! HAHAHA!
