Football or Comedy?


Must take more photos. I picked up a photography handbook I bought for MPLST a few years back yesterday in a bid to try and match my somewhat limited capability with my rather inflated ambition. I took that one up there this morning from the garden. Nae three bad, even if I am blawing ma' ain trumpet!

Anyhoos, back to stories which will humiliate my kids on their 18ths and beyond. We went away over New Year to a little cottage on the Isle of Skye and had ourselves a very quiet New Year together. On New Years morning, the eldest two boys and I were up, fed and settled on the sofa in time to watch the repeat of Match of the Day from the previous evening (which was on far too late for an old git like me - Hogmany or not!)

I was acutely aware of big boy (perhaps not the best way to describe him given the circumstances) having his hand down the front of his PJ bottoms fiddling with his willy. He continued until he'd worked himself up his first boner of 2012.

Next I hear "Oscar, Oscar, look how long my willy is!" as I glance to my left to find he has pulled his jammy bottoms down and is rather proudly holding his willy in his hand so his brother can check for himself. They were agreed, big boy was in fact, a Big Boy.

Not wanting to spoil their fun, I left them to it - eyes front watching the footy with a wry smile. Next I hear "Reuben. Look! My willy is smaller than yours!" Eyes left again, to see my second son now copying his elder brother and displaying himself in much the same way.

Giggling away to myself, I continued to focus on the BBC in the way that any irresponsible father would. I couldn't keep a straight face though, when they decided, with their PJ bottoms around their respective knees, that they needed to actually contort their legs together such that one boys willy was right next to the others and a fair and accurate assessment of who had the longer tadger could be conducted. "Get it right over here, get that bit next to this bit........"

Obviously, you really had to be there. It tickled me though.

Here's a cheeky picture of "Small Boy" taken when we were away.
