My wife is a lady. A complete lady. There’s no doubt! And like all real ladies, you’ll never hear her swear. “Oh bother!” you might hear once in a blue moon, or very, very occasionally, when really annoyed, she will shock with “Blast it!”

I’ve recently succumbed to a nasty cold, and to be on the safe side, she left our bed to sleep in a guest room. Very sensible... but too late! Yesterday she too was becolded. She returned to me. Better to be miserable together.

“How do you feel?” I asked.

“Shitty!”

(Must have caught it from me!)

    Well, a lady is allowed to have a potty mouth when she's sick with a cold! Hope you both feel better soon.

    Thanks Christopher! I was rather shocked at Mrs H’s utterance, but realised from whom she’d learnt it! 🥴 She’s a real love and I don’t like her to be crocked... so she’s welcome to her potty mouth outburst, which will, no doubt, be a mere flush in the pan! 😁
