TODAY'S TOPICJust a little something to discuss today... |
What's the funniest thing your mom and/or dad ever said to you?
My stepmother informed me that people have an average of fourteen emissions a day! I think I'm above average! Seaweed Seaweed (talk) 11:47, June 6, 2008 (AKDT)

I wrote something in here yesterday but forgot to push the SavePage button. Now, I'm older today, probably 8 times older according to Atuuy, and can't remember what I wrote. 
Oh yeah, it was this........I can't remember anything specifically that my folks said but my mother has always had a good sense of humor and I'm very grateful I was passed the gene. Saving Grave, or maybe Saving Albert, either one. ReWoven (talk) 05:25, June 5, 2008 (AKDT)
- I just read my mother some of these entries here, including my own. I caught my typo and read it to her ... we cracked up. I wrote Saving GraVe instead of Saving GraCe. hahahaha (She's 87)
My Mom was 40 when I was born. I sat down a few years ago and mentioned to her that when I was born, she was 40 times my age. When I was 10, she was 5 times my age. When I was 20, she was 3 times my age. When I was 40, she was only twice my age. Then I asked her how long before we would be the same age? She looked at me with one of those WTH looks and said, "That just don't make any sense! How could that be? This world sure has changed...everything has gone crazy!"

Although he certainly didn't make the phrase up, it made me smile when Dad would occasionally say out of the corner of his mouth "I've already forgotten more than you'll ever know." Jim (talk) 12:44, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
I don't remember the exact details of the conversation, but it obviously had something to do with pregnancy and possibly paternity. My mother remarked, "Well, you always know who the mother is." LuAnna (talk) 12:32, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
This is a tough one as my parents passed away many years ago. However, I can still recall a conversation with my mother about a medical procedure she had done, and in that classic Mississippi-style Southern drawl, I can still hear her say, “The doctor gave me a boron enema and found some plops, but they weren’t the bad kind.” I was relieved and cracking up (on the inside) at the same time. Mom had such an innocent, peaceable soul. Kimchifox (talk) 11:53, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
I've forgotten what I was doing at the time, but her response was, "Nobody could be a stupid as you look and still live." Cub Driver 10:09, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
- I dunno—funny in a dark way, but what a thing for a mom to say to her kid! For the record, Cub, I think you're cute. (I am not flirting.) — Mert (talk) 11:17, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
A couple of years ago, Mom told me that she had reached the age where she could be "deliciously impertinent" - Sharpston (talk) 09:38, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
Okay, I'll go first. This may not be the funniest, but it's the most recent. One morning I was visiting my mom after a lovely night camping in my truck. I said, "Ma, I wish I could just live in my truck." Knowing the state of my finances, she shot back, "You might have to." Pretty quick for 90. — Mert (talk) 07:39, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
- Oh, yeah, and then there was her memorable, but not necessarily funny, advice to never make love in a canoe. — Mert (talk) 08:12, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
- Oh! I just remembered the best one. Ma, age 76, and I were sitting on the loveseat in her living room the night before she and my stepdad married. She said, "You know, Martha, it all started right here. One minute he and I are sitting here, and the next thing I know it's morning, and there's clothing strewn all the way to the bedroom!" — Mert (talk) 09:15, June 4, 2008 (AKDT)
