...if I ever dared ask what was for tea ( you get what your given ) the reply was alwayd " friend snails on toast"....
...and when I asked my dad "whats my belly button for?"... he would always reply " it's for holding the salt when you eat chips in bed"...where the hell did he get that one???? ( and yes I did use it on my daughter when she was little - just for the sake of tradition ofcourse)...
if we found a frog in the garden my mum would always say " just you be careful not to show it your teeth...if it's a toad your teeth will turn to wood! "
....hmm looking back I was a child of the 70s ....I wonder if my parents we're off their faces?....
