Keep taking the tablets.....

Overheard at our church’s Annual General Meeting this afternoon:

A church member was giving a report about the activities over the last year of one of the groups with which she was involved, and highlighting the fact that, usually the afternoon ends with a time when someone leads them through a few thoughts about issues, guides them through to meditate about an aspect of Christianity or life:

“Usually, we finish off with a medication.”

Cue an image of everyone in the group taking some pills to get them through the experience, and general hilarity descended… led, I note, with much holding of head in hands, by her son..

Mind you, I can hardly talk. After recounting the incident to my daughters tonight, we then got onto to new celebrity mothers, as you do….

My eldest informed us that Jennifer Lopez had just had twins. And, wishing to show off my knowledge (newly acquired from wandering down the newspapers and magazines aisle at the shop, I replied, “oh, and Christina Aliguera has had a baby too…..” Cue more hilarity, and shaking of heads at a parent’s inability to speak properly…

Worse thing is, about fifteen minutes later, having decided to share this here, I had to go and ask them to remind me who had just had twins….. Cue even more shaking of heads – “dad, I think you’re losing it….”

Keep taking the medication, Jo!!!!
