Oh my darling Clementine

Oh my darling Clementine

I once put three small Clementines in my mouth at the same time.

I was doing this at a summer garden party, for the sole purpose of showing off to my then boyfriend's younger brother and cousin to prove I was 'cool'.

While I was Clemmed up, I heard a clipped female voice behind me calling my name.

I spun round - it was ... his Cheltenham Ladies' College mother standing there ready to introduce me to her family.

I froze with embarrassment for a second, and promptly ejected all three Clems out of my mouth into my hand. Before she could even blink in surprise, I tried to redeem the situation by 'splaining.

However, all I could muster was holding out the spittle-covered Clementines towards her in the palm of my trembling hand, saying "Clementines." Hurrr

The teenagers whom I (actually successfully) impressed were rolling on the floor laughing their EMO butts off.

Suffice it to say, I am no longer friends with the ex boyfriend, but his young brother and cousin are still in regular contact.

    You are a bit mental but then who am I to judge
    The ex BFs mother sounds about as much of a c*** as he is
    Any woman who can manage to insert three pieces of citrus fruit into her gob at once is a friend of mine

  8. EK I am no disgrace! It wasn't me with a Glock in my handbag now was it!

    Beast - twas lovely to see thee and no, your post was fine!

    Gorilla. Actually he didn't hold a grudge against me. We just lived 200 miles apart so naturally it just ended. He thought the clem incident was amusing, if embarrassing!
