Nipples

As I sit here, eating a Galaxy Ripple (delicious, by the way), I can't help but be reminded about a time where a word mishap caused some laughs.

It was years ago, I think I was about 10. My mother kept on calling Ripples 'Nipples'. It was going on for weeks, so it was what I was used to hearing. She sent me down the shop, and one of the items I was to acquire was four Galaxy Ripples.

I went into the shop, got what I wanted, and then I had to ask at the counter for any chocolate - it was a small shop, so they kept it all on display under the counter. I asked for four Galaxy Nipples. The woman behind the counter, Trudy, laughed. She found it quite funny, but I didn't know what was so funny.

That's when I realised what I'd said and broke out in laughter. I then asked for four Galaxy Ripples and left the shop after getting them. I laughed about it on the way home, and then told my family about it. Fun times, fun times.
