I joke around in public quite a lot especially in the supermarket (yes I do the shopping) from the begining I told my little boy that if he touches things ''I will thrash you with a big stick, and you dont want that do you?'' So my son goes around saying ' I musn't touch things' ''why not'?' I ask, '' Because you'll thrash me with a big stick and I dont want that do I!' giggling his head off. I tend to ask him why he shouldnt touch things next to old conservative looking people, who upon hearing his answer look at me with horror!!
