So who has just had to explain to their 4/5 year olds.......

[Ninja Elephant]

My daughter asked what I meant I took the outrageous step of explains it to her

Hope she doesn't grow up a sex pest or is pregnant before 11 because she heard the word shag

I am afraid that is almost certainly the only possible outcome as a result of your dangerous and quite frankly baffling decision. Poor parenting, I would say.

Were you out of cotton wool?

I got flipped the bird today and got called a loser for letting in a shot from my little angel (he's 6!) we had words....

i hope so too, should always use the V.

to the original question, i think best to tell them to look it up on the internet, that should solve it.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

The common cormorant or shag
Lays eggs inside a paper bag.
The reason you will see no doubt
It is to keep the lightning out,
But what these unobservant birds
Have never noticed is that herds
Of wandering bears may come with buns
And steal the bags to hold the crumbs.

Christopher Isherwood



You may, of course, have to tell your kids more about Mr Isherwood. Good luck with that.

Thanks Lord B. Always thought this was a Spike Milligan original. Happy to update my limited poetry knowledge.
