PARENTS watching their children play in a under-14s game alongside fellow mum Madonna have described conversation as ‘excruciatingly uncomfortable’.
The megastar attended the cold, miserable Sunday game to support her 13-year-old twins alongside other mothers reluctantly doing the same, but was so difficult to make small talk with that she ended up standing on her own.
55-year-old Joanna Kramer said: “I broke the ice with ‘Fancy seeing you here! I liked that Ray of Light.’ You know, meeting her halfway with one of her more recent hits.
“Nothing. Commented on the weather. Nothing. Looking back, asking ‘Is that your eldest? Mine are the same, pushing 30 and still living at home’ about the young man she was with who is apparently her lover was a mistake. Well I didn’t know.”
Fellow mother Francesca Johnson said: “I thought I’d invite her to a fundraiser we’re doing, you know, no pressure but perhaps she could make cupcakes or do a quick performance of Like A Prayer. You’d think I’d asked her to chew dung.
“I mean I only went over to have a look at what work she’s had done up close but she didn’t know that. It costs nothing to be friendly. I certainly won’t be buying any of her reissued deluxe vinyl box sets now.”
However father Nathan Muir said: “I wound up stood next to her and said ‘Aren’t you Madonna? I saw your tits in that Sex book.’ She laughed and we had a right old chat.”
