Family business

Mainly the adults!

Way back in the 50's and early 60's I can remember family and friends get togethers, usually over the Christmas period.
There was always a close knit adults discussion going on at the kitchen sink when all the adults pitch in to wash and dry the dishes ( no dishwashers then).
The chat was in low key and usually kept away from the kids...

"your lad is growing up fast, has he got a girlfriend yet ?"

" my lass is growning fast, she will make someone a lovely wife one day"

" I see suchabody is courting, nothing good will come of that, she could do better"

"Our neibours lad is a bit of a bugger, he will be getting some young girl in trouble soon"

" That one down the road, you know who I mean, bit of a floozy, I reckon her daughter will go the same way, three kids before she's twenty!"

And so the chat went on until the dishes were washed, dried and put away.

I used to just stay within earshot, pretending to be canyoning in my colouring book but taking all in.

Such magical days

Did any WW members have their parents trying to matchmake?
