And they say romance is dead

Katy regan, Blog, Marie Claire

The other day, after Matt Black and I had had a romantic walk in the woods (well, as romantic as one can be with a four-year-old in tow, who insists on stopping every five minutes to make a home out of twigs for his toy badger) Fergus piped up in the back of the car: “My mum’s bum is really big and has a lot of poo in it.”

Never felt sexier in my life.

Luckily, MB thought it was as funny as I did (not that there was really a serious side to such a comment, at least one would hope!). Perhaps this is because as a parent himself, he is used to this kind of merciless humiliation. The following day, when I saw him in the street with his son and he gave me a kiss on the lips, his son, who is ten, rolled his eyes.  “Oh right, so it’s all on then?” he said, which perhaps was only mildly better than what he’d said a couple of weeks previously:  “Katy, if you married my dad, then Fergus would be my brother.”  

Ground. Swallow. Up. Please.

And they say PARENTS are embarrassing!

Have your say ...

oh glorious blogging heaven, thank god for Katy!! have just read ALL ( yes , ALL!!) of your blogs and laughed myself silly as only a 38 year old can at the sheer delight of it all. Am so pleased to know that being in your..ahem...mid thirties does not mean the decline into Sensible Living Only ...was worried that perhaps I was the only 30 something left that believed that my being daft (but seriously loveable like Katy) was better than Growing Up ...so glad to have found you!
