Screw Up Tuesday.

It’s Screw Up Tuesday again.

And screw up number one for me was forgetting it is Screw Up Tuesday.

Screw Up Tuesday is the evil concoction of Mistress Bettina.

Remember to whip over there to see who has admitted theirĀ  fuck ups screw ups.

I have been playing mummy (stop laughing, asshats) to my flatmate’s daughter.

I’ve been guilt tripped into doing this as my German Killing Machine tripped ‘K’ down the stairs.

And part of this mummy routine is to socialise ‘Mini K’ at Playgroup.

I had the most wondrous experience of Playgroup yesterday.

I don’t know why the heck parents think Playgroup is for kids.

It is for mothers to sit around and brag about the new kitchen, little Fifi Trixibelle’s ability to speak seven languages and how she was potty trained before the umbilical cord was snipped and what snooty school they have their rugrat enrolled in.

And, dear reader, did you know there is a correct way to wear a scarf around your neck?

Fuck me dead, I do now.

We enter the hall, Mini ‘K’ eager to avoid the other children (she’s so her mother’s daughter; anti-social to the max) runs and hides behind a big pile of beanbags and the mothers check me out.

Damn, talk about running the gauntlet.

Mummies circle me like a hungry buzzard greet me sweetly.

I suppress the urge to throw up.

Playgroup starts with ’singing time’

And the kids and mummies love singing to the Wiggles.

LMFAO… they start singing “Fruit Salad”

I lose it laughing. I lose it big time.

And ‘Mini K’ the rotten little parrot sings the alternative words that have been floating around our house.

Blame Widdleshamrock for this.

At the top of her little voice she sings “Horny (insert name of Mr. Shamrock) yummy, yummy”

The mummies stare at me.

Apparently, ‘mini K’ usually sings “yummy yummy” and that’s about it.

And all I can say *slap head with hand* is…

“Well, the dude does have a big banana”

I haven’t seen that many cat’s bum faces since Speech Day at my old Alma Mater.

‘K’ would want to heal fast, damn fast.

Now be good kids and ‘fess up to your own Screw Ups. :)

Make sure you tell Bettina about them.

She loves to giggle in your general direction.

    God I hated going to playgroup and I was the co-ordinator to for the last year. Used to bitch about it in my blog, then the playgroup mums would phone me all distressed about what they’d read in my blog.

    Kinder mums are worse. One told me off today for sending Annie to kinder in her Metallica shirt. I apologised “I’m so sorry but I couldn’t find a Queensryche shirt you see so I had to get the Metallica one instead”. WTF? My kid prefers metal to the wiggles, get over it.

    ROFL

    Bettina: I would rather wear a Duran Duran t-shirt at a Rammstein concert than deal with these bitches again. They’re vultures.

    Widdleshamrock: I so thought of you when it happened. You would have sniggered audibly.

    Leechbabe: For the love of… they get pissed about a Metallica shirt? I would so rather a kid wear a Metallica shirt than the baby bimbo outfits that mummies tend to buy for their kids. There was a baby bimbo at Playgroup with a t-shirt that said “I’m a little hottie” Get freakin’ real? How can something that still dumps in its pants be a little hottie? Why not get a t-shirt that says “Paedophiles, I’m availabe”

    Heh, your kid has taste!

    Scrappydo: And the best bit is… they can’t do anything but look like stunned mullets with all that botox in their faces. Farkin’ asshats.

    I consider myself a paragon in the training of young minds. When my boy was in kindergarten he called one of the other tykes a hermaphodite. When the teacher told him not to call anyone names that they didn’t know the meaning to, my boy defined hermaphrodite.

  7. mylittledrummerboys Says:

    that is a big bust …LOL - our playgroup in the semi rural - sticks is nothing like that thankfully … I would love to see their faces though.

  8. magneto bold too Says:

    That was no screw up babe, I think you escaped just in the nick of time. Stay any longer and the biatches would have you wearing high waisted jeans and pastels.

    I HATED playgroup. Freaking bitches.

  9. Anja Says:

    Evyl: Bahahahaha… I like that kid of yours.

    Mylittledrummerboys: Their faces were priceless. If I ever hatch one of my own (stop laughing, people) there is no way on earth I could do this on a weekly basis.

    My Hooker Heeled Lovely: High waisted jeans! YES, GOD DAMN, THERE WERE HIGH WAISTED JEANS!!!!! And pink knitwear with fringe type things. Wait for it, get your coffee ready, hang on… and the chocolate… there was a *drum roll* SPIRAL PERM! Looked like a poodle on valium.

    play group *shudders* I think that you have more than made up for the ankle incident..

    Playgroup eew *shudders again*

  11. Tracey Says:

    You wonder why kids these days are so very, very fucked up.

    Still, I wish I’d seen it!!

  12. trishatruly Says:

    The little one in your care will one day thank you for helping to keep her safe from the kinds of women found in playgroup. She is one lucky child!

    ps. I am adding you to my blogroll. You are hil-lARious and I want my friends to know you. Ok with you?

  13. Anja Says:

    FPR: Playgroup is possibly the most painful experience I’ve experienced. And I saw a mum being ostracised by the horrid hyenas. Fucking bitches.

    Tracey: You would have lost your lunch, believe me.

    Trishatruly: Yeah, the blogroll is no problem. :)

  14. Jayne Says:

    Hated playgroup with a passion, with all 3 fruit of my loins.
    Doesn’t matter where you go, there is a law that states some stuck up botox queen shall rule with her smirking minions and carve into stone the theme of playgroup for all eternity, having eleventy hundred kids every couple of years just to keep her throne.
    Or they select the most brown-nosing frilly, permed sheep bimbo to carry the torch.
    Blech.

  15. leechbabe Says:

    I’m am so glad you posted this topic and I am able to see that other mothers didn’t enjoy their playgroup experience either. I always felt like the odd one out because everyone else loved playgroup.

    Same stuff happens at Kinder but thankfully I don’t have to stick around and socialise with the other parents at Kinder.

  16. Anja Says:

    Jayne: They are a special breed, the Playgroup mummy. A breed begging for extinction.

    Leechbabe: I watched this one mum being ostracised and I thought to myself this is no better than high school. The ‘cool girls’ leaving the new kid or the kid who was a bit geeky, had bad skin, ‘uncool’ girl out in the cold. This poor woman stood on the outside looking in.

    Puppy Playgroup was so much nicer.
