Scooby Dooby Doooooo!

I have just returned from a fun - packed, adventure holiday in Center Parcs. It came about after DB had to cancel his annual leave this week. I could not do the same as I had too much holiday to take. I was a tad disappointed as we had planned a few days in Dubai with DB's friend who lives over there.

"It's OK" thought I, "I'll just potter around, go down to Leeds and see Bezzy mate for a couple of days perhaps".

I so I put this to bezzy mate only to find that she had booked five days in Center Parcs with her 3 year old and her 15 year old boys. Her Hubby was going to join them on the Wednesday so why didn't I join them Monday and Tuesday? Fabulous!

I packed up and met them there. After hiring bycicles (an excellent way to get around if ever you venture to Center Parcs), we went for a bite to eat and a couple of drinks. Four white wine spritzers later we cycled back to the lodge. We got a tad lost, alcohol, of course, was not a contributary factor in this, and cracked open a nice bottle of sparkling.

There we sat in our jim jams. The boys watching TV while we chatted away. I was having a lovely time.

All of a sudden, as if he was just seeing me for the first time, her 3 year old started giggling and said "Look at Aunty's nose Mummy", and in case we didn't know what he meant he pointed at said monstrousity that sat proud and loud in the middle of my face and continued "Look at the size of it, she looks like Scooby Doo!"

Oh, how everyone laughed! Myself included. What else could I do? I have to say of all my flaws and bodily imperfections, I had never considered my nose as being anything to worry about. Of course, now I do. Every time I pass a mirror I look at my profile.......Scooby doo? My friend said I should take it as a compliment because he loves Scooby Doo. I think thats how I'll view it. I have enough paranoia about fat thighs, hairy toes, big bum, small boobs.....How can I possibly take on big Scooby Doo nose as well? There are only so many insecurities a girl can have before she's classed as neurotic. So, I shall remain happy with my Scooby Doo nose. I shall laugh to myself whenever I think about that gorgeous little boy who said this with no mallice at all only giggles and love.
