No, I don't think you have read it right.

The phrase "at the age of 7"and the phrase "when visiting a friend of mine" both relate to the subject of the sentence who is "one of my kids" - she was 7 at the time so there's nothing wrong with what I wrote. If I'd meant myself I would have had to write "At the age of 7 when I was visiting a friend of mine"

That's fair enough, but if my mother decided to stick her oar in I'd have told her to 'bog off' (or something less polite) as well!

It's all down to relationships, I guess

If I am particularly frustrated with something my word of choice is 'futtocks'.....it doesn't mean anything and it is unlikely to cause offence to anyone in earshot.

I am a guilty parent as I just let rip I have never used an alternitive nonsensical word. Its a bad day when your kid pulls you up for foul language. Shows she knows better though.
