Kathy D Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I lived with my father in high school and loved a particular brand of chewing gum, Bubble gum flavor. We traded grocery shopping every other week with list in hand from the other. One week I asked for that brand of chewing gum, pink, large pack (I wanted more than a small 5 stick package). Dear father returned with a case of purple sanitary pads of the same brand name and apologized saying there were no bulk pink ones. Last week I was texting with my father, who is more aged now. I said "ears stuffy, no pop in a couple days" while complaining about a cold virus. He replied "Drink more water, eat prunes and buy stool softener". :) We had a family visit over the last holiday weekend. They have 4 children including 2 young boys. Of course jumping on the bed was great entertainment. We are in an Recreational Vehicle (small living space) for now that has a sliding door from bed to bathroom. My dear daughter asked to go potty, when I went to help her she tried to stand in front of the toilet. :o I hope these put a smile on your face :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joelf Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi Kathy, Thanks for sharing your amusing stories about your family (I particularly like the second one about the cold virus! ) My elderly mother quite often misses the point as well (like your father!) I have a very dry, caustic sense of humour and have to be careful that any wisecrack I make doesn't sound too facetious. ;) There's nothing worse than a pained silence greeting the punchline of what I imagine is an amusing remark! :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dani Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Joelf, I understand having to monitor my sense of humor around my mother. It has created quite a few misunderstandings. Kathy D. I also thank you for the giggles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joelf Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Glad to hear your mother's a bit like mine was, Dani! ;) :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
