Dub

Just got back from a family wedding in Dublin. Rather than write about it I thought I would put up some pictures. Here is the first. P has just revealed something to my Mum and my two aunts. I am terrified to think what it might be.

The ladies 

 

OK – I surrender – It’s a caption comeptition.

  1. Ha! Yes, she definitely has that revelatory smile on her face… and Pretty Lady #1, immediately to P’s left, is definitely looking “ORLY?” about something.
    Duck and cover, Moobs. Duck and cover.

  2. You should have a caption contest and then let P determine who was the closest. The prize? Knowing what she really did say.

    She certainly didn’t just reveal the secret to her fab apple pie, that’s for sure.

  3. P said: “That Moobs is the greatest lover I ever had, and I’ve had some superstars.”

    “Really,” replied your mum. “I never thought him the sort of chap to play a lady like a violin, he was always so into his computers and chatting on the Internet. Well well, still water’s run deep.”

  4. Well whatever it is, the lady on the left seems to wish the same thing would happen to her, the lady in the middle is finding out for the first time that things like that go on, and the lady on the right is outraged, and will no doubt give P a piece of her mind in just a few moments.

    Does this clever deduction bring you nearer to the truth? Perhaps she’s just revealed that the Moobs character they’ve read about on the internet is actually your own good self!

  5. Zoe, well the ladies are, from left to right, My Aunt Ursula; my Mum and my aunt Clare. I have to say there are a wide range of things that would produce the reaciton you describe in my mother.

  6. I think your mum looks faintly nauseous at whatever she’s being told. Maybe “Yep, they definitely said that was rat for the main course. I rather liked it”.

  7. “…and do you know that I still have to cut the crusts off his sandwiches the way his mom used to when he was seven? And he still sleeps with that bunny you gave him for his fifth birthday, Auntie U….”

  8. Caption competition –

    P: “It’s true we’re both converting to the Baptist faith”

    OR

    P: “I just punched the bride’s mother”

  9. P is saying: “I’ve finally decided that I should join the Community Association Committee. What they need is a good woman who knows her own mind. ”
    Everyone else is just looking at her in horror…
    Your mother is saying “No, P, I think you’ve just had too much to drink – you don’t know what you’re saying. You’ll remember little of this in the morning, love. ”

    Am I close?

  10. P: Yes, you heard correctly, Moobs – that’s what he’s taken to calling himself.

    Mum: He never learnt that in this house – he was a good boy…

  11. P: He’s taken this “moobs” thing too far…my bras are all stretched out.

    Mum: Y’know…I wondered why my lingerie drawer was in such disarray after his last visit.

    Aunt C: Well, he’s not getting his hands on my brassieres! I’m installing booby traps!

    Aunt U: “Booby traps!” Good one, Clare!

  12. Wow–the three sisters look so much alike! 🙂

    I can’t compete with any of these quick witted people–my captions all sound like they’re straight out of a Golden Girls episode.

    You all had me laughing at the office! I vote for Padme but Zoe’s a close second.

  13. Yes to Padme’s scripted caption!
    The best I can offer is:
    P: Yes! I finally purchased my own ruffled blouse!
    Auntie U: (thinks to herself) Now what is her name?…
    Mum: But what color, dear? Color matters in ruffles.
    Auntie C: Fiddlestix! I thought you were on my anti-ruffled-blouses side of this!

  14. Just checking in. Thank God you’re still here. I can’t write a caption now, for chrissakes – it’s 3am in the morning. I’ll be back tomorrow, at a more reasonable time.

  15. hullo – you’re obviously terrifically busy at the moment … but two things:
    are you and p going to alabama3?
    is justgiving a good way to raise cash? (cos my son is doing an oxjam event and i was thinking about setting up a page for him and sticking it on my blog)
    hope you’re both fabby dabby doo
