A few weeks ago, when Eden was staying with me, I wrote a post about an 'unfortunate happening' when we were on our way home. At the time I was wearing a brand new white T shirt with coral embroidery on the front only to have a seagull score a direct hit over me and missing Eden.
Eventually I did get the stain out but in the washing process something with dark dye touched the T shirt and I had to use some bleach which lifted out the mark.
This morning I was going to wear one of the T shirts that I bought the other day, the orange one as it happens. However, at the last minute I changed my mind and decided to wear the T shirt that had not been very lucky because I like the coral embroidery on the front and it goes with my coral cropped pants. This is the first time I have worn it after removing the other marks.
We had breakfast and then headed into town to get a few items of shopping and stopped to get the paper and lottery tickets on the way. We hadn't got too far from the paper shop and we were about half way into town when, I know you won't believe this, but a wood pigeon sitting on a lamp post dropped a huge, very smelly poo onto my left shoulder! Eden nearly choked where she was laughing so much and again, although she was right next to me, she got missed! Again everyone received a text message within 30 seconds! I reckon she has the speediest texting fingers I have ever seen.
I got her to wipe some of it off with a 'wet wipe' but she was gagging because of the smell and also laughing so I had to do it myself. I was going to come back home again and change because the smell was so bad and I had a great big greenish grey stain on my shoulder. However, we continued into the centre because we were only ten minutes from the shops and we went into the shop where I had bought the T shirt in the first place. They actually had one in the sale so I took it to the till and asked the assistant if I could put it on when I had paid for it after I had explained what happened.
She was very sympathetic and said that I could because a similar thing had happened to her once. ONCE? I told her about this particular T shirt and asked if any other ladies had suffered the same misfortune when wearing this particular one but she hadn't :-( so I suppose it must be me!
Hi Grandma,
ReplyDeleteMy goodness!
Looks to me like that shirt is a bird poo target.
Might want to consider wearing something else on your trips.
That happened to my mother once in Las Vegas.
She had just finished getting her hair done and was walking under the famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada" sign when a pigeon bombed her with poo. Her girlfriend helped her clean it out and was laughing too.
So now, every time I see that famous sign on TV or a movie, I think of my poor mother and her "poo do".
At this rate you must surely be in for a massive lottery win!
