Barrister's obnoxious thread full of smug parenting stories

[alfred russel]

But Joshua was having nothing to do with that, so when our backs were turned he hauled himself into the freshly-drawn bath, clothes, diaper and all.

Grallon would have done the same thing.

You can draw water from a well, but those are about the only two times I can think the word draw is used that way.

You can draw water from a well, but those are about the only two times I can think the word draw is used that way.

The well meaning, in the sense of extract is pretty common: draw a pistol from a holster, draw a sword from a scabbard.

The bath meaning is strange because it's the opposite.  To me draw a bath sounds very old fashioned.  Like Victorian England old fashioned.  Though it could be a difference between Pomish English and American English.

Probably comes from the fact that, in olden times, one had to 'draw' the water from somewhere before filling a bath with it.

Curling. to slide (the stone) gently.

That's a shitty definition.  In curling, a draw is a show where you attempt to place your shot inside the house (that is, inside the rings).  This is as opposed to a take-out, where you throw the rock with force attempting to strike an opponents rock to remove it from play, but also as opposed to a guard, where you throw even more gently in an attempt to place the rock in front of the house in order to, well, guard it.

Pinkeye is an infection caused by fecal matter.  Tell the kids to wash their hands after playing in their own shit, and to avoid the stinky kids at school.

Ah. There are other causes too. But I do have a pack of bidet shitters.

Anyways, one child doesn't like the antibiotic drops and warned me off. She said, "HEY DUDE, BACK THE HELL OFF."

"HEY DUDE, BACK THE HELL OFF."

No need for the paternity test.
