Cats and cucumbers
I love Facebook memories.. this came up in my feed from 3 years ago..
Ok ...this was my evening.... Tonight on the way home my 10 year old daughter was talking about funny cat videos on you tube.. especially the ones with cucumbers đ„ apparently cats go psycho if you put a cucumber by them.
Maya was explaining it was a natural cat instinct being scared as they think it is a snake .. ANYWAY I said âWhy donât we try it when we get home with our cats (Eddie and Milo who are 14) Â Hubby says... âbut we donât have any cucumbers đ„ â Â
No problem I replied, "letâs stop in at the shop on way home and Iâll get one" Â Well as you can imagine a few jokes pass between me and hubby about going into the shop for just one cucumber for my pussy... Â
As we parked the kids said can you get a treat for us while you are in there. Â
I forgot to ask Maya whether it was best with a Lebanese cucumber or long continental one so I bought both... Â being the nice mum I am I also bought some caramel popcorn for the kids.Â
As proudly inappropriate as I am I couldnât bring myself to go the the lady on the checkout with two cucumbers and two bags of popcorn at 8 pm on a Saturday night!
I check out using self serve and didnât bother with a bag. ( should have done! ). Â
I run out of Coles and to the car I fell arse over tit on a mini speed bump... land with a bang and my cucumbers and popcorn go flying!!Â
To my horror A CROWD GATHERS... âOMG are you ok?â An old lady picks up my shopping for me .. TWO CUCUMBERS AND TWO BAGS OF POPCORN! Â
Another lady says .. "ohh youâre going to be sore in the morning" (I hope she was referring to my knee and not that fact I had bought two cucumbers.. )Â
Another bloke says ... âBlimy you went flying as did your cucumbersâ.
I tried to save my embarrassment by explaining I was buying the cucumbers for a test with my cats ... but that just made me sound like a crazy cat woman in need of cock!Â
Meanwhile Ben is in the car with the kids laughing hysterically. Â Thatâs the last time I friggen go in to Coles to buy cucumbers by myself!! Â
And the moral of the story??? The cats didnât give a fuck .... not a single fuck!

How to Choose a Gift for the Dad Who Says âI Donât Want Anythingâ
Dads can be notoriously hard to buy for, mostly because they either already have everything or genuinely want nothing except to be left alone. Sure, if money were no object, you could gift him a flame-throwing 10-burner BBQ fit for a caveman king. But if the funds are low and the appreciation is high, go for something thatâll make him laugh and remind him heâs loved and to say thank you for the blocked toilet repairs and 2am nightclub picks even though you're a "functioning" adult.
