The message on a candle
The other day we got some candles from Maddy’s mum. Helpfully they have some wise words to train and inspire everytime you light them. I thought I would share them with you, so here goes:
“A silent mouth is good to hear”
- hey I am a parent, of course I agree with this one
“A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea”
- yeah, kinda make sense, a bit like birds and bushes
“What butter and whiskey will not sure there is no cure for”
- hey, you can’t say fairer than that!
“As the old cock crows the young cock learns”
- nice sentiment!
“The longest road out is the shortest road home”
- is it really? what if you got lost? what is this saying? I don’t get it!
“A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse”
- of course we all know that!
“You’ll never plough a field by turning it over in your mind”
- this is my top-tastic favourite, good pun, good thought!
“It’s no use carrying an umbrella if your shoes are leaking”
- Ok, come off it - whole body wet vs just your toes. That’s a load of rubbish if you ask me.
“The older the fiddle the sweeter the tune”
- What? But what if the old fiddle has got a big cracking it?
Anyway helpful advice from ………. errrrrr…… a candle…
