Why do kids never forget a parents shortcomings?............

Recommended Posts

Like most mums I do my best with the kids and hope this will make you smile as i have no secrets now :anxious: At dinner tonigth YS who has just been made a Cub complete with new shirt and badges asked if I'd sewn his badges on, which of course I had being a wonderful mum :think: "Are they in the right place" he asked glaring across his dinner at me. "of course" I replied smugly " I checked the cub website", at this point OH bless him piped up " mum always sews your badges on right doesnt she?"

"No" replied YS " last time she sewed them on the back instead of the front" at which point ES choked on his grub and all eyes moved in my direction :doh::doh:

I have to admit I boobed and in a moment of madness did sew the last badges on the back and very fetching they looked too.

Sadly my kids never remember my good points..... mind you dont think I can being menopausal etc but thats another forum :D

Just today we were talking in the staffroom about the things our kids say about us.

 

One friend said her 9 yr old son asked her if she was pregnant (she's not skinny, but definitely not fat). She said no. He then said "no, you're too old, aren't you?". :roll::lol:

 

A pupil said to another friend "have you got highlights in your hair? It looks just like my gran's." :shock::lol:

It's something you'll never be allowed to forget.

 

OH still reminds him mum of the time she cooked him pizza..... forgetting to take it off the polystyrene (sp?) base which she then s"Ooops, word censored!"ed off, served him the pizza anyway and didn't tell him until he mentioned it tasted funny and his sisters were all rolling around the floor in fits of laughter!!!

Well, an answer is to blackmail parents with at a later date, only kidding...

 

I'll never forget when we stayed at our uncle's house for my brother's graduation and when it came to leaving she kept fussing over us to remember things, then when we got home she realised she had in fact left her suitcase there!!! Vikki then had to go up there the following weekend and collect it...she'll never live that one down!

Naughty Scramble - your poor mum. Keep dishing the dirt. ES never lets me forget my rendition of "I will survive" at school karioke (SP) with 3 other "Glorias" Its a mums mantra. He and his friend were hiding with eyes covered saying OMG look at our mums. I dont think we'll make BGT but we got a round of applause, and nothing was thrown at us so we couldnt have been that bad :anxious::anxious:

My poor Mum has never been allowed to forget a few things... she once horribly embarrassed DS and I by phoning the BBC to complain that Shane McGowan was on Top of the Pops and wasn't setting a good example to her children by being very, very drunk and having no teeth. We were quite aware that he was a shambles and didn't aspire to the toothless look ourselves!

 

 

 

My DS1 once said to me 'Mum, I'm really glad you're crackers'. I think this translates as 'Mum, thanks for giving me enough ammunition to tease you mercilessly for the rest of your life'. :roll:
