When I was mistaken for a witch….?

How funny!!!

Did you cast a spell on him?

That’s lovely! ?

?
Are you The Worst Witch?

Love it!?

That’s so funny ???

Hope you reassured the little beast! My husband was often mistaken for Father Christmas, he had white hair and and bushy white beard, he nearly always went along with!

Dd1 even told it to her German exchange family (Mum mistaken for a Hexe - I dare say it was a good exercise for her German) and they all found it riotously funny, too. Only the mother spared a bit of sympathy for me - ‘Die arme Mutti!
(Poor Mummy!)

Oops ??

Love your story Witzend. Years ago, when we lived in a very old house, I had a besom broom. It was the authentic 'witches broom' made of twigs and lived by the back door. A friend called to see me one day and when I opened the door she said, 'I knew you were home, your broomstick's here'.
I still chuckle at the memory.

Lovely anecdotes Witzend and Aldom ??

Aldom ?.

I'm glad you posted this Witzend it did make me laugh.
I've been fuming at the check out waiting for a dawdling husband many a time, so it held a special resonance for me.??‍♀️?

Having purchased a replacement broom the assistant enquired "how will you get it home?" Husband replied no problem she will ride it home!

DH ‘found’ a witch’s broom on a job that he was on and brought it home for me.
I was going to do something with it, but haven’t.
Now that Halloween is around the corner, I’ve got a good excuse to get in from out of the shed and do something with it.
The original plan was to put a toy black cat on it ?‍⬛
So thank you for reminding me

?? love it Witzend

very good

Perhaps the little boy was hoping there was "Room on the Broom" Witzend

There are some very glamorous witches: perhaps he thought you're one of those?

I am a witch! a good one, I hasten to add.

midgey - my DGS is now shouting Ho Ho Ho at any older men with white beards!

? thanks for sharing ?

I was once given a book of spell weaving along with flowers for my birthday by someone I was going out with He said he saw it in a book shop and said it just seemed to suit me. Many have said that they have often thought I was a witch. One wise person said he thought I was a hedge witch. Maybe I am....who knows. I have four spell books now but have never used any of them...maybe I should...

That is so funny. Bet your bad mood went straight away. Little children are brilliant. When yours are grown up you forget how good their observational comedy was.
