Mother Goose was amazing and funny! We liked Muddles because he is very silly and Gertie Gaga tells all the funny good jokes. One of the jokes was: when I was at the shop I got milk, cheese and butter chucked at me. I thought: “How dairy!” Hahaha. When we did a dance at the end, it went a little bit like this and a little bit like that and shake your bum. It was a great show.

btw, i used the term weapon as it turned the title into a double entendre, however this seemed to have fallen flat, I wont try to be funny in future. In fact, I went into the Co-op this evening and told a joke or 2 - one bloke didnt like it much and started throwing eggs, cream and milk at me - I thought how dairy!
