| | Is it wrong to snigger at what your child is doing?
Currently she is on the cbeebies website playing some game or other. Apparently the octopus (who is purple) is wearing a pearl necklace. Who gave her this slimy accessory? she keeps on hammering the keys and all I can hear is pearl necklace pearl necklace. Am I just mucky minded or would you snigger too? She asked me why I was laughing.
I am going to open my first cold one of the night, luckily we don't need the fridge, it is cold enough on the balcony. I need to get out more I think |

If I didn't know better, I'd suggest that you posted this after your third or fourth cold-one. Its a wonderful gift and I am sure the octopus accepted gracefully.

Not only would I snigger, but if I was designing games for cbeebies I'd make certain that there were plenty such references included to help fuel small childrens AQP (Awkward Question Potential)

I think this deserves another reference:

Hi there,
can't comment on whether to snigger or not, 'fraid I don't understand the conotations (thicky me) in this instance, but I have had similar instances over here with my kids.
One example that comes to mind is when they were showing 'Relic Hunter' on T.V here some time ago.
My girls always watched it religiously,so when it was showing and one wasn't there, the other would always call out loudly, Relic Hunter is on!!!! which seems reasonable I guess, until you add the factor that my girls mainly speak Swiss and have pronounced accents when speaking English.
So the first time I heard one calling this out, I nearly went bonkers at them, not knowing what the programme was,,, you see, when they say it, it comes out as "Rally C***er".
I was so glad when they stopped showing it, it just grated every time.
I 'spose I shouldn't ask the significance of pearl necklace ? Better to Google it I guess

I'd look it up before you demand one for Christmas.

You're lucky - type 'snigger' on birdforum.net and it comes up 's******'.
