You can never have enough...

[Lilith7]

The rat stories sound just awful! We lived out in the country when I was a kid & the local farmer decided to move his pigsty - rats were living under it & went everywhere when he moved it. Mostly to local houses, so visiting the outdoor loo became slightly hazardous.

I really, really don't like rats at all. At one stage one of my kids had a pet rat, & just being in the same room was difficult.


I'm not having a funeral; I'm going to have an unfuneral. Just family sitting around & telling those stories the little sods have been saving up for years; some of the grandkids stories may be slightly exaggerated. Or a lot.
In particular youngest grandson, who will (once again !) be telling all about the time he busted his saintly gran doing grocery shopping. When lockdown happened he'd volunteered to get any extra bits & pieces I might need - eldest granddaughter had already been over to organise me, & show me how to online shopping so I was all set & saw no need to mention that I'd be doing my final in-store shopping the day before lockdown.

So I went & did it & was just pushing the trolley out of the shop when this voice goes "and what do you think you're doing?"
Bugger.
Passersby were looking & trying not to laugh. And failing miserably.
Imo, the younger generation are altogether far too swift with their cellphones, taking pictures of their angelic gran & send it to all the other grandkids. By the time I got home, there were three tellings off waiting for me.

And it was the day BEFORE lockdown fgs!
