I had to share this with you.

Yesterday, I'm in the shops with the Wee Yin buying a nice bit of lamb. The butcher, a really lovely old guy with all wrinkles and wee half-moon glasses, was all jolly and chatty.

The Wee Yin was pointing to different cuts of meat and asking what they were:

"What's that?".
"That, my dear, is a fillet steak."
"Oh, is that from a cow?"
"Yes, that's from a cow"

You get the idea.

There was a wee piece of lamb - and off-cut - and it had a sticker on it: "This bit - 85p". I said to the butcher that I'd take that little bit there for the dog.

As he reached for the meat, he smiled at the Wee Yin:

"Your dog is going to be your best ever friend now, when you give it this lovely piece of lamb isn't it?"

The Wee Yin, impeccably cute as ever, agreed. "Yes she will".

"And what kind of dog do you have?"

"A crap one".

Aw, bless.
