I’m turning into my mother.

I was in Nationwide the other day and talking to the Teller who usually serves me. She complimented me on my brightly coloured shoulder bag and I told her I had matching coloured knickers on - truly. 😳 She couldn’t stop laughing. 😆

Wonderful, NanKate!

I do : my children are horrified. They say " If the Mad Axeman of Kent turned up, he'd surrender to the police pretty quickly after half an hour of Mum asking him where he's from, and asking about his family"

😂 love it

Another one here, daughter gets very embarrassed. I find most people quite like to have a jolly chat and a laugh!
Keep chatting ladies and cheer the world up!

Sometimes, yes, particularly at bus stops, often get a good natter in.
Don’t worry we all turn into our Mothers eventually.🤭

God, I hope I never do! I'd never inflict that on my own children!

Years ago I held a door open for an old lady to go into Marks and Spencer; we exhanged a couple of words about the weather or similar, and she said I was the first person she had spoken to all week. I have never forgotten her, and so wish I had asked her to have a cup of tea in the cafe. I was young and busy with small children; she was old and lonely, and for that reason I will happily chat to anyone. It's life enhancing for more reasons that perhaps we might realise.

My OH will - and does - talk to anyone and everyone. I, on the other hand, can go shopping and return home without ever having interacted with another human (thank you for self-scan/self-service checkouts)! Maybe it's a legacy of spending my entire working life talking to (interviewing) other humans. I regularly go for a week or more without talking to anyone else apart from my OH.
