DON'T GET YER FEET WET

Tess in no way dampens our enthusiasm with this picture for Mag 238




I once had a friend whose young daughter
was sadly allergic to water.
She had no bathing suits -
but a stout pair of boots
which, when she went wading caused laughter. (*)




(*) It rhymes with 'daughter' and 'water.'  Yes it does!  Whaddya mean "No it doesn't"?  Huh!  Well . .  it looks like it does.  And if it doesn't it oughta.   HaHaHa!

  1. OK to suggest a last line? "Which her best boyfriend had bought her."

  7. Your lighthearted reaction to the photo makes me smile and wonder if a British pronunciation of "laughter" comes close enough to the sound of the word "awe",as an example, to justify your justification ? :-)

    1. Ann . . how the British pronounce "laughter" is down to where in that tiny island they come from. I'm from the North, and say "lafter" to rhyme with "rafter." My friends on our south coast say "lahfter" to rhyme with "rahfter." We have to be careful with the word "manslaughter" (Culpable Homicide in USA, I think?) - which rhymes with "daughter", not "Man's laughter" Schimple, really.

  8. Ah yes, but if I were her mother, I'd buy her a bathing suit, ever so fast!

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
