Dear Mum and Dad,
Thanks for the postcard you send the Big Sister and her class.
It’s good to hear you’re enjoying Arles.
Did you by any chance partake of a few too many French Burgundies, fall and hit your heads?
Was the Moulin Rouge out of bum titty bum bum postcards?
Seriously this is the only chain of events I can come up with that might explain why you chose a postcard of a bull fight to send to the Big Sister and her Prep class.
I can just imagine the questions after Show and Tell.
what is that colourful thing hanging out of the bull’s back Mrs S?
why is the man putting a sword in the bull’s back Mrs S?
wouldn’t that hurt Mrs S?
I’m keeping this postcard for the Big Sister to appreciate when she’s older (or to use as evidence in your committal hearings)
Please write again in a more lucid moment.
Much love,
Flossie xx
Laughing & cringing all at the same time! Gotta love grandparents. 🙂
I’m running out of excuses for her not to take it Jodie!
Yes I remember having a bum titty bum postcard on the mantle sent from one of dad’s mates in Aussie! Quite cute really that postcard… it is another country’s tradition after all!
Am still laughing Amanda, that is a cracker! I know, my Mother can still leave me speechless! And I am 52 lol xxxx bless them xxxx
Excellent! People are crazy when they holiday, especially Aussies in Europe….and it seems this remains the case as we get older!
I’m sure Bearhands and I will be fully capable of such shenanigans in our old age Claire. We should make it our mission to find the worst bad taste postcard during our weekend away!
As in the Arles frequented by Vincent van Gogh? If so, that’s quite an effort to bypass the pretty picture postcards in favour of a bull being slaughtered. Very funny, though.
Perhaps the Kiddies can use the pictures to come up with some creative captions? !st prize – A Hamburger? Very Funny!!!!!
I remember the topless ones as a kid haha
Meanwhile if it had been an Australian post card the bull would have been drinking a stubby whilst riding a surf board and uttering “Strewth”.
