Mummering is a Christmastime house-visiting tradition still practiced in Newfoundland and Labrador. Also known as mumming or janneying, it typically involves a group of friends or family who dress in disguise and visit homes within their community or neighbouring communities during the twelve days of Christmas. If the mummers are welcomed into a house, they often do a variety of informal performances that may include dance, music, jokes, or recitations. The hosts must guess the mummers’ identities before offering them food or drink. They may poke and prod the mummers or ask them questions. To make this a challenge for the hosts, the mummers may stuff their costumes, cross-dress, or speak while inhaling (ingressive speech).[1] Once the mummers have been identified they remove their disguise, spend some social time with the hosts, and then travel as a group to the next home.

1. Quotes: the painful side of love…

So Brenner and I went for a walk around the neighborhood. There is this kid going up and down the sidewalk on his scooter. He has a rat on his shoulder. He is flying up and down the sidewalk, and the rat just sitting on his shoulder or clinging to his arm.

That alone is enough to merit mention, but there is more. So he stops and asks me my dogs name. I say Brenner. I ask him the name of his rat. He says 2. I said “oh, he’s 2 years old is he?” To which he replies, “yes, and his name is 2 as well.”

So I’m leaving and he asks if Brenner is a boy or a girl. I inform him that Brenner is a boy, and I walk off. A few seconds pass and he yells out to me, “So she has nuts right?” To which I yell back, “Yes, she has nuts.” LOL

And check out Chili’s reply here. I love it how they have a sense of humor about it, enough to partake in it as well after the fact.

Nice!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
