So, we went out last night, I had few I admit. Anyway, I got home, had two Spongebob Squarepants crumpets with Marmite, while looking around for a pudding I stumbled across a tube of Rowntress pick and mix (fruit gums, fruit pastilles and tooty fruities) yummy

This morning MissUser76 has a face like thunder when I emerged, the tube was a Brownies task, if they kept them unopened over Christmas they get a badge I need this tube replacing, by Thursday evening, or I am a dead man So, no pressure, can anyone help me out here. My future as an acceptable Father is on the line

You've had it. there was a bit on sky news earlier saying everyone of those tubes has sold out this year

 

[Bman]

A lesson fot the future maybe? Dont leave irreplaceable food where a hungry drunk scavenger can find it!

If you can't replace it, could you write a grovelling letter to Brown Owl explaining your mistake? Ms User76 could maybe agree to abstain from another type of sweets for the remaining number of days?

With a bit of care, the whole thing could be turned into a lesson on the falibility of grown ups, maybe you could even volunteer to talk to the pack and explain?

Mind you, Brownies are pretty determined, they might lynch you.

Strictly speaking, owning up and sorting it that way would be a better lesson than trickery after all....

Have you made a will?

Spongebob crumpets?

........Brownies are pretty determined, they might lynch you.

Yip! Wouldn't mess with the Brownie's.

Maggot, just say that you were in a mellow mood. Your daughter, not knowing what was the matter (of course - we all know it was the dread of your advancing years and receding other bits...) decided to give you an impromptu gift - of the only thing available. Something which she treasured, but thought would do you more good*.

Next Thursday evening, her arm will be plastered in badges...

Are you sure the tube wasn't marked in some way to ensure the Brownies don't cheat and just replace the tube when the deadline approaches?

Honesty being the best policy, especially after making a mistake. As a tawny owl, I do not give a hoot suggest buying the next nearest equivalent, and for that not to be eaten.

Also a lesson in how fathers work hard all year, and the occasional mistake is to be understood.

I am thinking she could learn more valuable lessons from your accidental mistake, than the original task might suggest.

Seriously tho', there was no "malice aforethought" so it is not (yet) the end of the world.

I've got 3 tubes in the cupboard.......what's your opening bid then?

Night Train's got a point - those Brownie's are smart cookies!
