Whilst on a family holiday, my sister and I, (known as Grandma and Granny) whilst walking with some of our grandchildren (aged 9, 8, 6 and 5 at the time) for some reason said that, if they could spell 'decrepit', they could call us that.
My sister kept giving them hints - but then we realised (at that moment) we couldn't spell it!!
She has a smartphone so could have looked it up - but didn't.

A small snifter of wine had been partaken by said grandparents before the walk.....

My eldest grand daughter - who wasn't on the walk - she was 14 at the time - but obviously has 'snitchy' - siblings, refers to me as 'decrepit' granny to this day :-|

Fished into my handbag for a lighter and proceeded to try to light my fag with a tampax.

Have done many daft things but the most recent was just the other day. I squeezed toothpaste on to the palm of my hand and then wondered why my "hand cream" felt sticky and wouldn't rub in.
