My brother Tim and his wife stopped by yesterday for a cup of tea and to shoot the shit, to use the American saying. He told us this story, which you have to admit is absolutely priceless.
Their daughter, at a precocious and charming age of two and a half, is slowly being weaned off her dummy, only to be used at nighttime. Well, Tim was being very disciplined and telling her to go to sleep etc., and was not taking any guff. Out of her subdued mouth came the priceless words, to which he said his disciplined exterior took a tumble, “you’re frightening me Timothy”.
LOL!
I didn’t even know my own mother’s name until I was like 10, so for her to know Tim’s, and his full name at that, was priceless. He said it floored him, and we had a good laugh about it. Thought I would share that with you
