My Exciting Night

[mrs_overall]

There is a couple that we know socially. The husband is drop dead gorgeous (a girl is allowed to window shop!), has a larger than life personality and is great company. Unfortunately his wife has the personality of a dead ferret and talking to her is like drawing teeth. She could easily win "Bore of the Year."
Anyway, this afternoon I received a phone call from the husband and in silken tones he said "Are you doing anything tonight?"
As it happens, I was free and tried to sound nonchalant when I told him.
He then asked if I could meet him in his village at 6pm....just me, not me and Mr O. He then informed me his wife was away on a course and he needed me. I breathlessly agreed to meet him and it was at this point he revealed his motive. I didn't realise he is now an Akela and he wanted me to run a First Aid course for his cub scouts.
I tell you, an hour in the company of sixteen 8 year olds has aged me by 10 years.

LOL, c'mon you enjoyed it. Bet they know how to do mouth to mouth resuscitation now.

[boxtops]

[pixie373]

What a disappointment! How rude. Have you discussed, err, payment yet? X

[Peter Pedant]

followed surely by an hour ( debrief of course ) in his....

[Psybbo]

Oh and I was getting excited, now you are going to turn into a cougar! What would The Builder say?

[DTCwordfan]

Bet it's aged the kids by about a similar amount too........

Tell me about it mrs O. I spend every work day with 30 of them lol

oh dear, what a let-down

shouldn't have used the expensive cologne then?

The funny thing is, I borrowed a knife from the kitchen drawer in the scout hut to show them how to kick it away from the casualty, and when I went to pick it up I cut myself with the damn thing. I had to do the rest of the talk with a tissue wrapped around my finger and my hand hidden behind my back.
I didn't dare ask for the first aid box!

[askyourgran]

Damn it Mrs_O you mean he hasn't taken advantage, just left you with a bunch of 16 pre-pubescent boys. What a cad, bet he's got knobbly knees.

[jubieanna]

oh dear lol. Not laughing at your misfortune mrs O just the fact that you cut yourself at a first aid course! they couldve have some proper bandaging practice

[mrs_overall]

jubieanna, you deserve a medal!

[anneasquith]

[jubieanna]

They are just so fidgety and ask such ridiculous questions. Oh, and don't get me started on the nose picking and genital tweaking

We had 40+ of the perishers in the Lifeboat House last week. 10 to 11's by contrast can be quite rewarding to work for, especially if teachers have prepared them.

We had a first aid demo from St Johns and next day a teacher wasn't in school. Turned out they'd broken his arm, putting him into the recovery position!
