Always enjoy your posts Leah. What are the consent ed peeps thinking? My preschool grandchildren use correct anatomical terms for all body parts, penis and vulva included.
I think it was one of several videos shown, Claire. You’re right that 13 year olds can handle it. Teaching kids about consent is so enlightened I reckon
I love your writing, it's all so relatable. I'm an Island Bay mamma/house-wife with 3 cats (no dogs) Tween girl and Y10 boy. I'll need to ask him about the egg plant emoji video. He didn't mention it! Happy Fri-yay Mamma .. here's to the domestic details 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️
Love this Leah as always you make me laugh. I am mildly offended by the sex Ed use of emoji. Are we entering a new era of euphemisn. Sounds like an attempt to 'get down with the kids'. A taco FFS. At least there should be a taco inside a taco and a cherry tomato at the tip.
Leah, your posts give me life, honestly. 'The tweezer years' lol. The times I've gone out and realised I haven't plucked my mo. My horse once had half his hoof removed and wore a plastic boot while it healed, perfectly. Don't get me on to sheath cleaning. Your welcome! Xo
Okay, well, don't say I didn't warn you! When my vet 'retrieved' a smegma-bean one time and said she takes them home to show her kids - I gagged. But now save a lot on vet bills as my old gelding is so grateful for his quarterly cleans, he just flops it out. I did complain to the husband when I first started doing this - why do I get the cock cleaning jobs when I don't have one. You need: a warm bucket of water, clean cloths, thick rubber gloves and no one watching. Lordy, should go on ...
I learnt so much by keeping my beak shut during the teens in-car conversations, so that took me back. I am also in the tweezer years and remember that if examination and removal happened at the lights, the back seat silence was swift and appalled.
Haha literally, distractedly playing with a new chin hair as I read this. Tinned plums, what a rare treat now (tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor...) And lovely to read the letter to the editor in this week's Listener praising your new column.
God, I love you. You absolutely make my day. Thank you.
And you've made MINE! 🪻

To you too, babe! I love the idea of you over the hill having similar conversations to mine

SNORTLES! I think it should have been a crushed-looking rose. Honestly, these boys are going to get a shock one day
Yep, not at all crispy...

Jane! I'm afraid I do need you to tell me about sheath-cleaning and so does everybody else. (Hides face)

Good Lord, Jane. You country people truly are doing God’s work
Just loved, on all levels, Backing Yourself in The Listener.. Laughed and laughed. Told many. Pertinent even at 79. Thanks.
Oh KATH! I'm so tickled (and relieved) by this! My next one flies a little close to the wind, so GULP
Made me laugh out loud. Baking.
Even Chelsea Winter can't save mine
I read you relatively slowly, as I love your writing so much. Be revolting as if there's no tomorrow. Oh god I wish I had't used that last phrase. xxx
Ohahahaha, I'm glad you did! That means a great deal from you, Linda

Another gold star for you Leah!
OMG I love this! Did you really? I have never. But I might
lol great stuff. My wife went through a phase of watching pimple-popping videos at bedtime. They totally give me the ick.
Oh, yurk! Me too. But I can't judge her, now
The Tweezer Years - so very true. Those jellyfish started to get pretty stinky after a few days by the way!
Oh, did they? I hoped they'd be washed back to sea and somehow revived
SHINE JESUS SHINE
Those hoof videos have found me too, on Instagram. The lilting accent of the dehoofer dude almost makes watching to the end ‘palatable’ 😆

Yank it out, Dee! 😁 How kind of you to let me know. Briony at Marsden Books is keeping me a magazine aside each week so I will have to go & get it!
I'm leaving the country if Watties ever decide to discontinue Hawkes Bay Black Doris Plums in Syrup. BTW, who was Doris?
Ohahahaha! I’ve no idea but I think I owe her my entire personality
So good! Always, always so good Leah! What joyous, uplifting, sanity-bringing, life-affirming wonderful words.
