Mummy Juice

You know once you have said something and it is out there and your children have heard it and you can't take it back, then they say it when they shouldn't and there is not one thing you can do about it!

We were out for lunch, it was a lovely day, and I had a wine with my ploughmans, as you do.  We all finished up and headed for a nice wee walk along the forth.

I took my boy's hand and on climbing up the stairs, I stumbled, not a drunken stumble, I promise, it was a, someone needs to replace the stone on these steps, stumble.

I grab his wee hand tight and say, "oh silly mummy, too much mummy juice" and we giggle.


Fast forward to my boys first week at nursery school, I am starting to meet all the other mums and dads that do the school walk, I recognise a couple of them from playgroup and smiles are exchanged.

I have got my girl in the buggy and my boy is on his scooter and we are heading down to the school, mums, dads and kids all around and I take a tiny and I mean tiny wee stumble, only to see my boy fly past me on his scooter, declaring loudly - "Oh silly mummy, been on the mummy juice"  Nice at 9am in the morning!
