The things parents say

[SexyGreyFox]

Went to my 74 year old Mothers this afternoon to show her pics from my Egypt trip.
Now bear in mind she did a Nile cruise 6 years ago and had a guided tour round the Pyramids.
We're looking at the pictures of the Pyramids and she says -
Blimey, looking at those you'd think they were man made
What
They look as though men have made them
Well how do you think they were made
With the wind & rain
But you have photos where you are standing at the bottom of the pyramids and the blocks are at least about 5 feet cubed with square faces
I know, isn't nature wonderful?

Any special parent moments you've had?

You seem to have more than your fair share of these special threadworthy moments

That's just stupid woman talk, not specifically parents

 

[JodieO]

Hehe, classic.

Yeah somethings fishy going on here

And have you got any proof that the priramids arn't natural?

 

[CliffyBiro]

Reminds me of some of the things that Nans say on Russell Brand's radio show. Most of which are racist in some way.

First, you need to prove that priramids exist, then we'll prove they aren't natural.

Six is one of the few phonetic alphabet entries that actually sounds the way you'd say it normally. 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8 are pronounced as their English names all letters have phonetic words and 3 is tree, 4 is fow-er, 5 is fife, 9 is niner and 0 is zee-row (american style)

^ Aye, we've been interested in ATC for a while, well aviation in general, guess it was force of habit

[VaderDSL]

Your dad has a serial number?

Ha I spotted that and tried to ninja edit it, but alas I was too slow

Yours doesn't? Try the back of the manual

 

[tuffty747]

My parents (bearing in mind I'm only 15...) always tell me to stop shouting up/down the stairs...

Next thing you know, I hear "DINNER'S READY!" ...

*Shakes head...*

The things parents say
Nanny state gone mad
Which is healthier - slice of bread, pitta bread or tortilla wrap?
Work out my travel insurance - please
Why are IT Techs so up their own bottoms?
Urgent - spec me a camera please

 

[Andr3w]

[JBuk]

i heard a good one the other day

this kid from stoke told me that their dad reckons electric hobs were better than gas


my mother says a lot of mental things but the funniest is when she has to go through about 10 names to find the person she wants to talk about
