And bugger me if these kids weren't walking along like hostages with their hands on their heads eyeballing the shiny stuff with longing. Now I want to know - has this been her approach to shopping with children in tow from day one? Or did they commit a crime so appalling that by mutual agreement she didn't strangle them in return for their agreement to stroll the shops forevermore with their hands on their heads? Either way I don't think we'll see this one on Supernanny anytime soon.

Hands behind me on in my pockets if we had them. mum had all three kids walking along like ducks with hands in pockets. very effective.
ReplyDeletei have to say that i still walk through galleries in jeans (because they have pockets) and i put my hands in them to prevent myself from touching the pretty artworks. Rowan thinks it's hilarious that i still do it and have to literally restrain myself. damn touchable looking art.
