This will possibly be the laziest (and earliest) Grumpy column ever. It's a copy & pasted conversation I had today on Facebook.
A friend is coming to visit and is bringing tutus made in Thailand for The Dreaded One. There have been jokes about the tutus really being for me. I simply posted a slightly whimsical, single line which turned into a bit of a crisis. Enjoy...
Lee Bemrose is lost but occasionally happy. Thinks it will be fine.
Bek You will be fine. I am bringing tutus and mum to melbs. xx

Lee Bemrose Tutus and... why the hell did I just think 'no undies' when you said mum? Am I that perverted or was there a story about your mum and no undies... oh this is a horrible way to start the day.

Bek It was indeed mentioned in my blog. Also, she is going to KILL ME if you mention this in her presence. And, I will make sure she is fully clothed at all times.

Lee Bemrose Phew. Also - mention it? I don't even want to think it. That's gone and done it - I will think it in her presence and smirk and you will know what I'm smirking at and smirk and she will ask what all the smirking is about and I'll snortle which will make you snortle and... oh dear. We're in trouble now.

Lee Bemrose No. Really? Oh... can we delete something? Can we delete everything? Seriously - what does one do in a situation like this?

Lee Bemrose Your previous comment required an exclamation mark or italics to fully convey the, erm, squirminess of the situation. If you come up with anything, let me know. Must think of what to do... what would Thor do in a situation like this?

Lee Bemrose I just thought of something. We can pretend we forgot to sign out and someone else wrote all of this and the real Lee and Bek don't know what we're... what they're talking about. Will that work?

Lee Bemrose Whoa - me too! I forgot to sign out of Facebook and while I wasn't looking someone else came along and wrote all this stuff that I would NEVER write. That's the last time I forget to sign out of Facebook... (do you think it's working?)

Lee Bemrose Let me know how it goes. I personally don't think it's going to work. Will try to come up with a Plan B.

Foot in mouth and all! haha.
I will probably be meting Bek's mum for the first time soon and she has read that conversation and... oh dear. Awkward? Just a bit.
Incidentally, GG - have you read Bek's blog? She's a very good writer.
I'll check out her blog later...now I must go wash slush from our driveway.
Slush?
Also, I forgot to say that Bek's blog is Farrang Girl... not the current name but the one I still have as the link. Oz expat living in Bangkok.
