I have to admit it can be enormous fun overhearing conversations. Believe me though, I do not make a point of ear-wigging, but, as we all know, there are times when it is just impossible not to hear.
I was in a local pharmacy. There were good displays of decorative nick-knacks, cosmetics stands, perfumery, hair products and all the sundry first-aid items you would expect. Near the service counter there were two or three baskets with reduced stock, (close to date) just right for pocket-money birthday gift buying for granny. Mum was doing grown-up shopping while her two youngsters were making their selections. After lots of exploration and excited chatter they showed mum their choices.
G-l-y-c-e-r-i-n-e, and .... what's that mum?
She peered at the label and read the rest of it.
What does it do?
It hydrates the skin, said mum.
Oh..... ?
It will make granny's skin big, mum said.
Just like mumps!
