I know I shouldn't laugh but when talking to her yesterday she was saying it was very windy around her house on the weekend, and she hoped that a "Salami" never happened here, another classic was " Oh I love placido Flamingo" and can you pick me up a tub of " Utterly battersby" anybody else got a lovely mum in law law like this or anybody they know that gets the words mixed up ? thanks all.
Yeah my old mum in law was being told about some man who live's in her street who had acused someone of ******* - she thought they had been burgled and didnt have a clue what ******* meant - not funny for the poor bloke but was hilarious when we explained what it really meant.
lol my mom does that all the time!!, she gets confused with the names of things, my daughter was trying to tell her about spongebob squarepants and she couldnt for the life of her understand his name or say it, she calls him square sponge most of the time!!!
Remember the viseo for ''Call Me Al'' by Paul Simon which featured Chevy Chase? when it was on TOTP the dialogue in nans house went like this:
''Who is this, love?''
''It's Paul Simon, nan''
''He has grown, hasn't he?''
''No nan, that's Chevy Chase''
''Blimey, he sounds exactly like Paul Simon''
I tried to explain the concept of miming and videos but she couldn't grasp it. To this day she thinks Peter Kay sings like Tony Christie.
I am in training to be one of these mother in laws in the future I think.
Having spent yesterday morning painting my friend green (quite another story) and in response to her and other friends questioning whether it would stay on I chirped up with if we wanted to be 100% about that I'd have had to use durex....
I work in a care home for residents with extreme dementia and a couple of days ago I went into a residents room after she had come out looking a little worried and confused on entering the room I heard running water and noticed the floor was flooded!! I turned to the resident and she looked at me and exclaimed "all these little creatures climbed out of a box on the floor and dribbled everywhere" and as another carer went to get mops and buckets etc, the resident looked at me again and pointing to the other carer "said that's it, she comes into my room, makes all this mess and leaves it to me to clear up!!!" the things we see and hear with these dear people are absolutely precious!!! I wouldn't change my job for the world!!!
My father passed away when I was 16 and some years later my mum remarried. I am one of 8 children btw.
Well, when it came to the wedding photos at the side of the church it was quite cool and windy. The photographer asked mum to smile , to which she replied , " I'm frigid "
The priest piped up " With 8 children , I don.t think so "
A very smiley photo ensued. She had meant to say she was frozen rigid of course . :-)
here i am sitting waiting for the gas service guy to come, waste of a day off arrrgh, anyway couldnt stop laughing at these postings, i work nights and my mate is always either saying things backwards, or when we were talking about a chicken curry recipe, she said she puts "prozen frees" in hers, the sad thing is that i understood what she was saying!
My mother's neighbour, who is now in her nineties, goes through whole conversations when you just have to keep a straight face as she knows "I've done it wrong again, haven't I?" for example:
" The lady had a nasty asteroid in her ear"
"I think he was Catholic as he had a rosemary on the wall" and my favourite, "Look at all those swans and singlets" She is a total gem!
