If ever the world needed proof that Grumpy is the walking embodiment of evil, then this is it. I was on the phone to Grumpy's mum, The Busy Walker, when he walked in the door, plonked himself on the couch and proceeded to make himself at home. The Busy Walker was trying to think of the name of a movie she'd seen and quite enjoyed.
"Was it called.....String of Pearls? Maybe?"
"Hmm, I don't know, "I replied. Then, before I could think (as is usually the way), I blurted out, "Oh I know. Was it The Pearl Necklace?"
From the couch came a startled gurgling noise, which completely put me off my game and I have to say that even The Busy Walker's voice had a certain tone when she told me no, she didn't think that was it. The mutual cringe hummed back and forth along the line.
Just to make Grumpy pay, I handed the phone over to him then and there so he could spend some much needed quality conversational time with his beloved mother.
Harumph!

Ha!
".. This is Chorley FM: Coming in your ears.."
Yes, thank you anon: the earring thing. Should I ring The Busy Walker back and tell her? Probably not. Best to let sleeping dogs lie.
Fabulous. I just called my mother-in-law a dog.
