Alis girls Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 OH whos 61 and me 55 wear size 9 and 8 shoes. We act our shoe size. We definitely fool around much to the horror of our youngest 15 who has a sense of humour bypass regularly. This morning our bed head arrived early and was encased in polystyrene. We had great fun pretending to karate chop it like it was bits of wood. YS rolled his eyes crossly. My husband does voices for the cats.At present Honey cat has a French tarts accent and says "Bonne nuit Oncle Luke" to my son whose doing GCSE French at the moment. She also waves a paw The other cat sounds like an East End vilian. So are we alone in being loonies? I suspect not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Not at all. Scruffy my schnauzer has a Yorkshire accent and is very vociferous when going to the groomers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 59 and it swings between Victor Meldrew and a 9 year old at the moment. At the moment I'm Hattie Jacques in don't mess with me matron mode - directed at OH naturally. Edited to add I'm still 58 - going senile!

Alis girls Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 Yes I regularly go like that Valkyrie. I am Hattie Jacques at work with the patients although slightly slimmer I am please to say. I love being silly. Not sure what I will be like at 70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Me (and my family) - shoe size, OH (and his family) - age. Can be awkward sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Shoe size, which is a little awkward because I only have size 4 feet! I am 50 in just under 2 weeks and life is too short to be serious and melancholic. We are a very banterous silly family group especially now that our children are all adults.

Lewis Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Those forum members who know me will say I definitely act my shoe size I can act my age when I need to, just doesn't happen very often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Age 52, shoe size 7 (but continental 41!) Mostly all of the time I act my age and older as I am very stressed by many, many aspects of everyday life (Aspergers ) but there are odd occasions when I wish I didn't have to. I saw a toddler throwing the most amazing, awe inspiring paddy in the supermarket the other day and felt very jealous. I just wanted to be able to do that and let it all out! Her mum was brilliant and was just standing close by, not really watching but keeping an eye out and letting her get on with it, which I thought was a great way to handle it - so calm. Toddler soon got tired and gave up after a truly brilliant performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
