AWWWWW Bruce. I'm sorry I let yer cat outa th bag. But I was sooked in 'Til Addy said "Mum it's not Grass! It's Plastic!" The other place I got caught was when we were watching the Rock Apes, nae the Regt. The real ones up the trees. She handed me a wee paper bag. Quick as lightening, just as I was looking in see what the bag contained, there was a bounce on my shoulder and the bag was whipped out of me hand and I had to tighten my muscles. I really did enjoy what was to be our last couple of weeks together, apart from the time she pushed me into 'The Monty" forgetting I could not swim. As I came up for the second time, spluttering, someone grabbed my hair and held me above the water long enough for Sam and Ken to haul me out. The thing is I'd just had my hair done ready for her party! By then it hung in strings so I threatened to go as was. She soon found a mate handy with curling tongs. Christine saved the day. Heck just realised the whole Golden family is getting this. Oh well, I can laugh about it now, but not at that time, so folks it's another Viola story.
