I adore focaccia, it’s also one if my favourite food words.
haha I actually hate it. I like “linguine” though.
Linguine is all soft and pretty, focaccia is a good swear substitute!
Yes I probably should explore alternative avenues now that little pitchers not only have big ears but repeat-mouth too 🙂
I never had to with the older two they knew they were ‘mummy words’. But this one is on to me, I say fancy a lot. Like ‘if that fancy dog doesn’t stop barking right now.’
I had to change when miss E on her third birthday told our guess to look at her f’ing bags… Oops!
I sang very inappropriate Kanye West lyrics to both of them this morning, before I realised what I was saying. Bigs just asks ‘what is fuck, mummy?’ but I should probably tone it down haha
Needs more bread.
You’re right, I’m ashamed for holding back.
This looks delicious. And you are a brilliant poet. 🙂
I should really try to make a career out of this.
