.........which I thought I would share.

We was sat talking with our 6 year old about rich and poor.

Mrs asked what does "rich" mean ?

"spend a lot of money" was the reply.


Whats the meaning of "poor" ?

"Lucys feet" was the reply.

Lucy been our dog, guess you had to be there ? Was a gem.

Now if your wife spoke like a Northerner, Poo-er, then there wouldn't be this confusion. Another plus for being Northern that

Except if you're from Manchester, in which case it is POR - a better homonym for paw.

In Manchester it's just normal. There ain't any one word for not poor.

On holiday at her nans making tea in the kitchen, youngest was amazed by nannys loose tea in the tea caddy. Only ever having seen our PG tips teabags she asked what it was.
Nan says 'It's loose tea, Jeni.'
Jens pondered this for a moment and then piped up, ' We have tight tea, Nanny'.
