How annoyed would you be?

When you've told me first, Zigs; I don't even know what channel he's on!

 

Radio 2

A mother was on hols in Scotland when her 10 year old Daughter asked what a haggis was.

Knowing they were going to be eating some later, she didn't want to put her off so she told her they were small rounded creatures that have 2 legs longer than the 2 on the opposite side.

So when they came out of their burrows on the mountain they had to walk right round the mountain to get back to them, being unable to turn around.

Sometimes they died of exhaustion before reaching the burrow again and they would roll down the mountain, these were the ones collected and eaten.

All went well, until the girl returned to school and a teacher asked if anyone knew what a haggis was and she stood up & told the whole class.

She's 16 now & still won't talk to her Mum.

 

Slightly askew, but related, my brother was told drumskins were made from elephant foreskin and he told the class!

Every child should have a tale like that to tell!

 

Ah, I get it, Zigs I was told the same thing when I spent a Christmas and Hogmany in Greenock when I was a youngster.

One of my son's began his first day at school, in his first classroom environment and proudly told his first ever teacher:

"Miss, I can count to 100!"
"Can you? How lovely, would you like to tell the class?"
Proudly he stood:
"One, two, miss a few, ninety-nine, one hundred"



And no, he didn't get that from me (actually, I've no idea where he *did* get it from, but it was the first "feedback" I ever had from his teacher )

 

Poppy's first teacher said she'd asked her if she knew what a "Jubblie" was. The teacher said she thought it was a juice drink from the 1960's but Poppy said "No Miss, its a Badger with spots instead of stripes."
