She tries to talk but we just keep nodding our heads and smiling and clapping louder and louder. She runs over and grabs ( Read more... )

More proof that my Dad is turning into a housewife:
c) My dad once met some of my friends for the first time wearing a t-shirt that was my mothers.

I whispered to him: "Go and get changed! You are wearing Mum's t-shirt."
To which he replied "Don't worry no one will notice"
To which I replied "It has blue embroidered flowers and the words 'Love' ( Read more... )

The Ice-Creams of Wrath:Amanda (Mudfairy Amanda not Amanda Amanda) informed me yesterday that she's given up chocolate because, well, she's eaten the Magnum 7 deadly sins icecreams in alphabetical order of sins and frankly, that's as good at it gets.

"Oh man you gotta watch this movie I watched because the guy in it was just like you he was like couldn't pay attention to anything and this girl says listen to music! so he gets all these sausages and like hangs them all over the place and there's sausages ( Read more... )

Light/dark reading:

Matthew makes what he calls "chocolate milkshakes" out of nutella with milk in the blender. My Aunty Sharon once cooked "Peach Chicken" because she didn't have any apricots. My Aunty Sharon also is famous for the fact that, not only does she ( Read more... )

When the lights are low...:
My grandparents gave us a TV over 12 months ago. When we got it the picture was so faint we had to turn off all of the lights downstairs just to see the image on the screen clearly. Because it was a gift, no one ever complained about it being so dark. Two days ago my brother was turning up the volume and accidentally hit ( Read more... )

Good clean fun:
My brother has this thing about soap. He has to have his own bar of soap that he leaves in his own container after his shower.

Yesterday there was a hair on his ( Read more... )
