What about double pleasure. "OOO aren't you lucky? Not one baby but two."
"Yes." I could agree, smiling with pride.
It is total strangers who are so rude, they take one look at me pushing the double buggy and feel they are qualified to declare: "double trouble."
“Rather you than me.”
“Are they good?”
How can they be bad? They were just a few months old, unable to move. How could they be bad at that age?
I can only think that these comment reflect a society which really is not very child friendly. Friends of mine from abroad have often commented on this aspect of British culture. In fact, look at the slogans on T shirts sold for babies and toddlers in major stores:
- Little monkey
- Here comes trouble
- Little monster...
In fact, if you do not want your precious child to wear one of these horrible labels then you almost cannot buy anything in certain shops.
