Things we don't really need to know - but then..........

Ha ha ,

Hello @BlueBells, @Decadian, @Appleblossom, @eth

I just remember this is my thread - months back - so I shall continue --- I thought soo @Decadian, that`s why I brought it up front again

Thanks @Shaz51

We can keep going with the odd things we think about - this is meant to be a quirky look at life

One thing that helps us know we are getting older - our birthday cake collapses under the weight of all the candles

Enough said - would anyone like to know what I deleted - ah - not telling

i remember always being told not to take the last of anything and that a proper lady always leaves the table hungry. sigh.. not something i learned well.

i tell my kids that they smell a funny colour.

I like that @Former-Member - something smelling a funny colour is something I really identify with

When my kids hurt themselves in the million ways children do I would ask them if they wanted me to put some "stuff" on it - and what colour would they like. Apart from the brilliant green that I kept for warts the purple, yellow or red stuff was deemed harmless at the time - but would help with being antiseptic - of course - what shape bandaide would help - as if it ever matters - stretchy or plastic

I had a variety of harmless but antiseptic "cures" - even just rubbing some vasiline on a sore part could help unless it was a burn - what was it about the variety of "stuff" I offered my kids for minor injuries?

Perhaps giving them a choice was the important part - and of course "Mummy's kiss" is there anything better than that?

Smelling a funny colour - yeah - I'm someone's mother and totally understand that

I love the

kids

smelling like a colour

@Former-Member

I told my kids

that

pumpernickel bread was

chocolate bread

and then when they didnt want more

"Oh you dont like chocolate bread".

It was the best joke I could come up with when the girls were little. Wish I could have done more.

Hi @darrenhayes

We all come to this forum for a reason that has to do with emotional discomfort and or problems with mental health - and it would be really helpful for many I think if you would tell us a little of your story - this might help us to relate to you

Actually this is my thread and put here for a more light-hearted take on the world - and it's fine to tell a joke here

But who are you and what do you need from us -
