Alis girls Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 You know when someone says something to you and you hear something totally different and often plain ludicrous well this is what happened last night - ES and I finished watching The Bill and ES prepared to retire and he normally takes our ginger tom cat to bed and they curl up together aaaaah sweet - so he picks him up and poor cat is hunched over in his arms and I said " Dont hold him like that you'll squash his little intestines" (being medical I use the correct terms) ES " He hasnt got any" Me " Dont be silly of course he has they are in his tummy" ( again I know my anatomy ) ES puzzled " What did you actually say mum?" I repeat the first sentence re intestines - roar of laughter from my 14 year old - who composes himself to say " I thought you said I'd squash his little testicles!!" Cue for us both to collapse in a fit of giggles for about 15 mins - OH came in and thought we were totally nuts (oh sorry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkor Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 That is GREAT! Cookie Monster and I were at the cinema on Wednesday night and a man who was sitting behind us said something that i can`t repeat on the forum but suffice to say after we registered what he had said we completely lost our train of thought and giggled like school girls when our combined age is 65!

ClaireG Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I'll never forget my eldest when he was about 7, watching cricket with my Dad. He commented that the bowler was rubbing his gentiles with the ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyhole kate Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Sitting round the dinner table with DH, DD, YD I said to DD how is your Mash She looked at me a bit strangely and said not bad why are you asking I replied that my DH had mashed it (not as fluffy as mine apparantly) DD burst out laughing what she thought I had said was how's your Maths kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Sniggers - food for thought probably need to get ES's ear checked. I s'pose I should be pleased he knows the correct term for bits of the body and doesnt use slang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 My Nanna (God rest her soul) always used to come out with classic Malapropisms. One of my favourites was she always used to ask me what my Holiday Compartments were like, were they clean, was it close to the restaurants etc etc. I never did correct her, bless her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
