You couldn’t make it up
Yesterday was one of those days when you couldn’t make it up. It was the washing that caused the most amusement. Pebbles well and truly excelled herself.
In round one of the problems, Mum hung out some washing and then fetched the prop to support the line. She put it in place, having no idea that Pebbles was at the same time leaving a large pile of poo behind her foot. You can picture what happened next. Mum took a step backwards – straight into the poo. I guess you have to be grateful that despite the weather, she was not wearing sandals.
Then the fun began
It was when Mum hung out the second load of washing that the fun really set in. She had hung up about half of what was in the basket when the line snapped. It meant all the dry washing she hadn’t yet taken down and the wet washing she’d put up all landed on the grass. That would have been annoying in itself. However, that was the point at which Pebbles got excited and decided the only thing to do was commando crawl through the washing on the ground and wrap herself up in it.
Mum was not best pleased and shouted at Pebbles to go away. If you shout at Pebbles she just gets more excited. In the end Mum was standing on one leg, using her other foot to try to hold Pebbles off the washing, while unpegging it and putting it back in the basket as fast as she could.
Mum wasn’t laughing at the time, but by the time she had managed to sort everything out, she was seeing the funny side of it. Pebbles, of course, thought it was a great game! She wants to do it all again.
Love and licks
