It Has Started...
 
My two year old corrected my pronunciation of 'water'...He said 'Mummy it's not 'warterrr', it's 'wadda'.....

Sigh....next thing he'll be doing weird things with his fork and saying stuff like 'I'm going to lay down'.....

You're pissed off about most things these days - Micky D's burgers, fast food, Amazon gift vouchers and the rest of it. You should lighten up matey.............or start drinking like the rest of us.
