Cant take Pete anywhere, we had to visit a furniture store for work not just a normal one, a very expensive one.. you know the sort...no prices on the furniture and they offer you coffee and home made cookies as you walk in... you getting the picture... well I took Pete there!... He was sat down on the sofas trying them out and drinking his coffee, I could see him fiddling with something on the cup and then in slow motion I saw his face drop and go white and then an "owwww" was emerging!!!! OMG what now.... he had only put his finger right through the bottom of the disposable cup, he must have pushed and pushed until it happened for some unknown reason, but I can remember doing those sort of things at 5 and getting a slapped hand, but at 56???? REALLY?????? SO as he was getting burned by the coffee trying to stop it from getting out, he was spilling it over the very expensive mussel colour rug and then running outside with it dripping all the way... I was left there to explain why we had ruined their display... I was tempted to say a few things but refrained and tried to apologise!. I think they thought we were going to buy a lot as they offered him a replacement, but I wasnt taking any risks and said no before pete could answer, you know the type of "NO" with a quirky smile and a grimmace at the same time and then a "THANKYOU" with the cock of your head... you all know the one I mean you all learnt it from you mums when you had embarrassed them at some point, I used that one!!!
