One of the things I do during the day ...

...lately that is, is listen to sound recordings of and read transcripts of conversations taped by the police.
The conversations my be of telephone conversations, tapping phones, or via listening devices installed in cars or in rooms.From this experience I have taken away the following insight:- people generally talk shit, generally don't speak in full, properly-constructed sentences, and often don't make much sense.
I've informed Mr Brown that we need to be more careful when we speak at home and in the car. I'd be horrified if we were taped and a listened to, we'd sound like lunatics. Or dafter than brushes. Or both.
And then there's me, at home, alone, talking to the cats.
For example, me, this afternoon, talking to Tigger (in my lap), and Pingu (on the chair next to me), while pootling about on the intertubes.
"Tiggy, Tiggy, twinkle toes, twinkle toes, twinkle toes (that bit's a song btw). Ooo, shall I kiss you on your little head? Mwah, mwah, mwah, kiss, kiss, kiss. Ooooo, tweak you twinkly toeskis!
"Ouch, no biting. Be a snuggle puss.

"Pingu's a snuggle puss, aren't you Pingu? Princes Pingu Pointy Paws. Kisses for you? Mwah, mwah, mwah! You're such a good girl, aren't you a good girl? My good girl.
"Awww, snugglypuss kitten, softly, softly, snuggle cuddles ......"
And on it goes. I'm ever so slightly embarrassed I've revealed this. Don't tell!

Oh my... I hope nobody ever records what goes on between my walls. At the moment it'd just be a whole bunch of grumbling...

Mr Brown & I had quite the educated historical discussion this evening, but you can bet that's not the one they recorded :)

At our house, there would be political rants against the right wing punctuated by baby talk to the dog and kissy noises. Stomach turning, in other words.

Oh, look at that! I speak Dog, but apparently I'm also fluent in Cat.

Well, now that has been all typed up and published you can stop worrying about being recorded!

Except for a fight/argument/disagreement between you and Mr. Brown. They may be rare in our household, but I'd rather jump off a bridge than have one of those recorded!

Ms Brown Mouse said...

Zoomie, ooo, yes the rants, lots of those :)
Cookie, I speak Dog also, and possum, and bunny and bee!
Lee, squabbles, oooooo, dear me, we have those aplenty. I've a friend who says we do it on purpose, argue about stupid things, just to have something to argue about!
S - lookie at who's talking missy!

Hahahahaha! If the FBI ever had reason to bug your house, they'd need a translator for those kitty kat konversations. It's very endearing!
