A story against myself ...

... Not all that long ago my sister told me that she had to get the plumber in because her toilet was blocked. The plumber told my sister and her husband that the blockage had been a "nest of white mice".
"Oh my god", said sister mine, "how did they get in there? Why would they nest there?" The plumber and her husband rolled their eyes and it clicked, she got it.
This is a story against me because, when she got to the bit about how the plumber said the loo was blocked by a "nest of white mice", I cried out, "oh no, were they still alive? Were there bebe ones?" Mr Brown and my sister's husband rolled their eyes, it clicked and I got it. My sister was triumphant, she was not the only one.
I'm not sure what this says about the sister or me but, jeebers why so coy boys? What's so hard about the word tampon?

I would have said the same, and my dad WAS a plumber !! :)

But no, don't flush tampons .. or pads ( who the hell flushes pads ?!?! )

Anyway :)
