inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 1 September 2021, ingrate.
The crying young infant was sore,
So mum pulled dummy out of the drawer,
but this nasty young ingrate,
Just made herself irate,
As she spat it out onto the floor.
Oh god, flashback time. We were on vacation in Arles (brilliant, van Gogh once lived there), in the south of France, pushing Baby Bump around, when this happened. We were trying to wean her off dummies/pacifiers but… any port in a storm.
In this town were nobody spoke any English, I was faced with this hunt for any pharmacy which might sell them, plus a crash course in Baby French once I got there. I never forgot sucette.
Haha! Sounds like France was a big adventure.

Yeah, I used to love it over there. Home from home. Keep hankering to go back, I went just a month or so ago but that was just for a few days and to see some people. But we ate out twice and I had moules frites and a crepe, so I at least got a taste of France.

Mmm, I do love a decent crepe. I hope you can visit a lot more as things settle down.

Yes, me too. It’s not worth doing while all this covid nonsense is in place. Most of the hoops I had to jump through are still in place. Not worth it.

When I was a small child I used to have five dummies. One in my mouth, one in each hand and one in each pocket.
Therapists have had a field day with that one over the years 🖤🖤

I’m not surprised. Was it mostly along the lines “Fucking hell, how can this person remember what dummies they had?”
