So, last night, I had my shower early and was rootling around in the airing cupboard wearing my glasses and a smile (it’s OK to do that now the boys have left home) when OH came up the stairs.
‘Ooh!’ he whooped. ‘Naked woman on the landing!’
I gave him The Look.
‘Hang on,’ he said, peering at my derriere, ‘what’s that white stuff?’
I’m puzzled. Surely he has seen me dusted with talcum powder before? While I’m still trying to think of a suitable answer, he continues -
‘Ah, you’ve been at the coke again, haven’t you?’
I throw him a derisive ‘Ha!’
‘Here’s a tip,’ he says. ‘You’re putting it in the wrong end.’
I would smack him one, only I’m laughing too much.
very cute!
You Two! LOL.
Thirty two years in October, ladies.
What a quick wit your husband has – that is such a funny story. I like talcum powder too. I’ve stayed at friends places and tried not to leave evidence of it in their bathrooms, but to no avail. They still see a bit of it on their floor, and completely freak out as they’ve no idea what it is. They mustn’t have grown up with it like I did.
Thank you for your encouraging comments on my blog. Its wonderful of you to drop by. I hope you’ll continue on with me.
Oh, opps, I forgot ! I just put up a picture of my dog, especially for you to see. Take care !
Thanks, Coastal Aussie! And welcome!
Yes, the man does have a well developed sense of humour, thank heavens. And he’s wonderfully uncritical of my sagging and aging body!
Hee hee. Wasn’t expecting the punchline and had a little tea spitting incident – ah well, my keyboard could do with a clean. I LOVE the smell of talc. Reminds me of babies! My 9 year old puts it under his arms as underarm deodorant stings him. Mind you, he’s so plastered in Lynx it’s difficult to detect the smell of the talc!!!
My younger son used to use Lynx. My goodness, it’s powerful stuff, huh? LOL!
Sorry about the keyboard. Tee hee.
Thanks for the welcome
What a card. TG and I are enjoying the “empty nest” too … only we’ve found it’s filled with wonderful surprises.

It is indeed, Jenny! I love my boys dearly, but I also love the fact that they are gone. I consider it a job well done.
