“Mummy,” says SC at dinner today, “hairy legs are a good thing!”
“Oh, yes?”
“Yes, because they stop you getting bruises!” (Mummy raises her eyebrows) “Well, you see, if you bump your leg, the hairs fold down and act like a sort of cushion, so you don’t get any bruises.”
Think I’ll stick to waxing my legs and risk the bruises. (the latest set of which seem to be disappearing nicely)
