Sex And Fairies

[ferlew]

Following on from mikey444's post, why are all fairies female?
How can we have new ones, if there are no male fairies?

I think you are making this up as you go along.
They'd be afraid to blow about at night in case they were seen by all them folks watchin badgers.....

The gnome in question is still missing his rod:-)

I don't have the imagination to make this up......I have seen it happen in a field near my Auntie's house in Killavalley.....It was magical....☺

They know not to fear badger watchers.....it's the others...the dark bad ones.....the ones in the night with the guns who are the real danger to the seedheads and baby fairies..... :-(

[shoota]

True.....

[FredPuli43]

Of course there are male fairies. Oberon is obvious , but wasn't Puck a sprite? Is there a difference ? If not, all the females needed to make new fairies was a Puck

[gness]

Fred...☺...Have a feeling I may lose best answer!.....☺

[shoota]

Come to think of it wasn't Tinkerbell getting jiggy with Peter Pan?

[starone]

So that's why my mother always called them pee-the-beds and warned us not to pick them (dandelions of course, what else).

[DaisyNonna]

gness, love your explanation. Will treasure it.

[DaisyNonna]

Fred, since when have fairies played ice hockey? On second thoughts perhaps that should remain private.

[gness]

Thank you, Daisy......find a dandelion clock..tell the story softly to children and let them help the gentle breeze blow new fairies into the world......

My daughter wouldn't do it with me this year...... :-(

Wait till she gets warts Gness, then she will appreciate your wisdom.
Take a dandelion clock, blow the seed heads to the moon whilst muttering a plea for the removal of the wart. Dab the milky end of the stalk on the wart, bury the stalk. Et voila, the wart disappears. (Eventually) :)

[gness]

I shall try that on the next warty person I come across, Ferlew....I always did that with raw meat but a dandelion clock would be more mystical....☺

(((((Just remembered something a lovely friend did, when having to visit her gynecologist many years ago. She was a very big lady, with a fab sense of humour.
She tipped glitter into her knickers, and told the gyne that the fairies had been round to bless her undercarriage, for good luck. )))))

[gness]

Ferlew!! I just hope it wasn't the same gynae chap that I saw when I discovered my daughter had glittered my knickers...by accident she said..☺

[ferlew]

OMG !!!!!

[gness]

Your friend will know as well as I do how long it takes to de-glitter that area!

[ferlew]

She does indeed, sticks to EVERYthing does that glitter. ;)

This is the pal who took me thrice round a roundabout that had been graffiti ed in Dorset, to appreciate the graffiti.
The legend on the roundabout read....
Welcome to rough poo.
Some joker had removed a few letters from "Welcome to the Borough of Poole" -----tickled me for days.

[ferlew]

Oh Gness, it is soooooo easy to glitter someone's knicks by accident, isn't it?
