Being a rural countryside type growing up
in the late seventies and early eighties, I was quite surprised by the cultural diversity in Birmingham when my parents took me up to visit friends, aged about four. It was there I met my first person of African descent, who knelt down, introduced himself, shook my hand and smiled. "You've got white teeth!" I exclaimed.

I can only imagine my mum cringed as much as I did when, around the same age, my daughter exclaimed at the top of her voice, in a busy supermarket queue, "Daddy, I need a poo!" One lad in the queue went purple with mirth.

but this is So Much Better.
see, last week, we only had such a narrow scope - geriatrics having racism - for people to get offended at.

Ah, but this week! This week is fucking genius.
Not only does it throw the whole field right open for every bias, boorishness and bit of bigotry, but it's a first-person narrative. So it's the author, not their alzheimer's-ridden granny, who gets to look like an insensitive fucking cunt spastic.

I wonder what Legless would say if he could work it out?

You won't last long as a parent
if you get embarassed by a toddler in a supermarket talking about poo.

But don't worry - by the time they're a teenager, the tables will turn right around and you can get your revenge easily....just by existing.

Ha, she's 14 and I'm deliberately not an embarrassing parent.
