"Mam, Marie's wearing my clothes again". Donna shouted down stairs to her poor hard pressed mother. A veritable stereotype of the Northern English gritty hard working Edwardian young woman. A babe on each mammary another one in the old box she used as a crib and yet another swelling her belly. Upstairs her two daughters, Marie and Donna, both just up from the pit where they worked shovelling coal for sixpence a week, prepared themselves for their night out. Her second eldest Marie, had been so named because at her birth her grandmother had said "mammaries, it's another girl", and had left to join the French Foreign Legion. Her newly born child was thus known as Marie. But now they were fighting. It would be over the new brassiere that Donna had bought and to which Marie had taken an instant shine. "Mam, Maries's mammaries are too big for my mammary holder. She'll stretch it out of shape". Their mother sighed, "Mam, Marie's refusing to take it off. And there we must leave them. But Donna, look, there's lots of mammaries there!

Whew! It was like waking up after being in a coma only to learn it was a whole new world (kinda like Rip Van Winkle, but worse). 
I supposed I could have just turned the channel, but your story was so -- uh -- surreal, I thought maybe I'd stepped into the................
Twilight Zone.
(Oh, hell....where's Rod Serling when you need him.)

Have you been at the sherry this evening? Well it looks as if you've been enjoying yourself either way. Very nice story, which I'm sure reflects exactly what went on in many a Northern, Edwardian household! 
Thanks for enlightening us.

I just went to have a peek at your other discussion. I'm not feeling creative enough to even attempt to guess what happened next (after a rather tiring day of shopping for bridesmaid-type items! 
). But it's a very good story, and there are some clever suggestions for endings.
(I'm happy to say though that I've got a tin of JGG sweetcorn in my cupboard, so at least some of it survived ).

Sisters share clothing all the time but I am not surre they share their underclothing. I know I wouldn't share the underwear. But that is the way of the world I guess. Many a time a sister or brothers coveted something their sibling had..Must have been one heck of a bra..but on a serious note. I think that the mother should have made the daughter take off her siblings bra and give it back. She worked hard to buy it so if marie wanted one she should been told to work to get hers also. Their are just some things you don't share..your underwear,your man/woman,and your social security number. Because if you do it is something to regret later.

I guess a little fun never hurts though..lol

Yes mtdewgurl74, p1ke is making fun of me.. And one heck of a fun time it is.. I am too far away from him to go out to these notorious dinners that he has with other woman, so our relationship is being played out on Mylot..
Also, where have you been, I haven't received any notifications from you for quite some time.. Have you been getting lazy or is it just my notifier gone bad.. I don't get notifications from a few others and I am not sure why.. I think my notifier has gone bad, sounds like a country music song..

Based on your exchanges with Mrs Lawson in an earlier discussion I should have seen this one coming p1kef1sh! I am not sure what else to say really, other than starting my day with mammary references has not been such a bad thing at all! I do wonder what they would have called the child though if the statement had not of been the one you shared and was something like - "Sh1t! It's another bloody girl!"

But Mam, there is the principle involved, we have fought many wars for principles, the new brassiere belongs to me.. I bought it out of my hard earned six-pence and do I dare to say, it cost me half of my entire weeks pay.. Not even thinking about the amount of hard work shoveling coal that it took to buy this new brassiere nor how much this money could be used for other things, Donna was taken aback at her Mam's audacious remarks.. Mam, do you not understqand of what I am speaking.. I know that little Johnny and little P1ke will be hungry when the mammories dry up, and I do know that I could have used the three pence that I spent on the brassiere for other such mundane items as Similac, but alas Mam, I spent my other three-pence on the new American paper that is used to stuff the brassiere to make it fit.. Mam was aghast at Donna for the excessive waste but in all fairness Marie was finally warned to give it back to Donna because if the brassiere fits, Donna should wear it..

P1ke, you are falling down on the job, 10 mammories and 1 titilating.. I shall be on the everwatch for more, then you will have won the hard earned title of "being right".. Oh yeah, as Bob Hope would say thanks for the Mammories

lol, this made me smile. That makes it more difficult to state: "mammaries". Do they really call them that all the time? I could just imagine the scene with the two sister quarreling over mammaries. Great descriptive post. You have the makings of a writer. You should write more for readers. Happy mylotting and cheers.
