I was bringing the 'not so small' Small Sprog home tonight when we stopped at a junction to let some young women cross the road. His running commentary is as follows...
Fake tan, check
Big lips, check
Lots of pink, check
Bad accent, check!
We laughed - appropriately or not!
He overheard this recently, said in a true Bristol accent:
"E bited me!" -child to mother
"E bited you?" -mother to child!
That is what he meant by bad accent...have I raised a snob or a boy with sharp social commentary skills?!
I think you've raised a boy who can speak English properly. LOL
ReplyDeleteProbably neither. Just a typical trend-conscious child who checks out everyone's personal appearance for the obvious faux pas like fake tan and too much pink. Just occasionally someone might tick all the right boxes.
ReplyDeleteA future sitcom writer in the making.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but he is clearly observant, and that has to be a good thing :)
ReplyDeletehilarious sub...

Observant, indeed. Paying attention to detail is good. Social commentary is a skill.
ReplyDeleteI've always liked the Sprog. He just keeps coming up with more reasons to be likeable!
A loveable child!

Nuts in May
Said it before - the lad is destined to go far.
ReplyDeletesounds like my conversations with my kids at times... :-) My son is now a cynical 22 year old, he was moaning about freshers on campus last night - and so was I where I worked clogging up the coffee shop etc.! He laughed and said "Oh my God - I'm turning into you!" :-)
Oh but I can hear it! My great-aunt married a Bristolian and the accent was very distinct.
ReplyDeleteastute definitely.
Always love the Bristol accent. Very observant young thing xx
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely not "Small" Sprog any longer:) He must keep you smiling all the time, Suburbia.
ReplyDeletere the young women crossing the road...are you sure you weren't in Essex at the time?
ReplyDeletePerhaps a comic or acor, or just astute observation?
