So the veggy teetotallers have left after their visit.
Childless couple in their 50s.
All effing weekend we have had stuff like this re: The Boy
1. "He had some sweets this morning.You know, the yellow colouring in some can cause all kinds of problems. Have you thought of cutting that out?"
Us: "He lost a tooth the other day. The Tooth Fairy brings him a pound. His teeth are his only source of income. He chooses to spend the pound on sweets. It happens about once every six weeks. But thanks for the advice (
)"
2. "Have you thought of getting him into some group activites so he can have a socialising period with other kids?"
Us: "Well he goes to school for 33 hours a week. Then on Mondays, Fridays and SUndays he has tennis.Tuesdays he has swimming.He is int he school orchestra. He goes to drama school on Saturdays. He plays with all the neighbours' kids. But thanks for the thought (
)"
3. "We noticed he had sausages at the restaurant. They may contain preservatives which could affect his metabolism"
Us: "Thanks. When we go to restaruants we can all choose what we have. The rest of the time we cook from scratch."
Fortuantely, he got cross about some kite-flying incident on Sunday afternoon and kicked Mr Veg Teetotaller in the goolies.
That shut him up
