Alas I have created a monster. Having taken Misses E and M to two pantos recently, it seems my smallest child has found yet another tool with which to torment and malign me. Seriously that kid is too cheeky.
It’s bath time. In fact it’s the end of bath time. You know, the ‘check conditioner is all out, grab a towel and drag a protesting child out of the bath’ time. But instead of the usual shrieks of;
“Mummy NO.”
“5 more mimits” (Not a spelling mistake but how my 4 year old pronounces ‘minutes’)
“I’m not your friend unless you let me play a bit longer Mummy’.
I get,
“Hissssssssssssssssssss.”
Me: ”Are you being a snake M?”
Miss M: ”Hisssssssssssssssssss. Boooooooooooooooo.”
Me: ”Are you booing me M? Am I the villain?”
Miss M: ”What’s a villain Mummy?”
Me: ”The baddie babe. Like in Jack and the Beanstalk.”
Miss M: “Boooooo. Hisssssssssssssssss. Boooooo. Giggle.”
Tsk.
I shall have my revenge.
Mwah ha ha haaaaaaa.
P.S. See my review of Aladdin here , and watch this space for a review of Nottingham Theatre Royal’s Jack and the Beanstalk. Both part of Have a Lovely Time’s ‘The Great British Panto’ feature.

But I thought she spoke to you like that before you went to the pantos?

Noooo. She wasn’t always nice but she’s never booed. Tsk.

Ah, yes. My son has recently taken to growling at me. It is not the least bit attractive.

Hope you’re all really well. x

Susan it is fab. Wish I could have seen that show you face booked about though. One day I will make it to Chicago. One day.

She did lovely. I think she was just the right age for her first panto and it definitely won’t be her last.
