usually accompanies me on the 'big' shop and this week we had a lot of Tesco extra points
coupons.
Once
he'd got all those sorted he asked me
"Can I get something for the
weekend?"
A
little surprised I enquired what he meant.
"Oh,
you know, food and stuff for meals."
When
he came back I asked him if he knew "something for the weekend" is a
euphemism.
He knows what a euphemism is, but not what it was.
"Well in the old days when a gentleman had his
hair trimmed on a Friday the barber would ask 'Would Sir like something for the
weekend?' It's a euphemism for a condom."
"Oh Gawd!" spat out with some disgust.
I'm not sure if he was more horrified at the idea,
or that I knew about it, or that I was the one telling him.
A few steps then a very adult and husky "Thanks
for that Mum. I might have put my foot
in it."
They
never tell you about this sort of things in the baby books!
