Tell me this is not true! I mean about sprouts, not about them growing in your dh's stomach

:lol:

I had to put a cleaner "nice" nightgown on my mother and make her bed before she would let me call the paramedics to take her to the hospital. She was having knee problems and could not walk - not life threatening - but, please!!! They don't care if your bed is made and an 88 year old woman in an imperfect older nightgown is not important

I think we all remember the P.I.E. trucks we all thought were loaded with pie's :_

I always called brussel sprouts little cabbages and thought that they were just baby cabbages that did not get to grow.
Still love the little things.

I was showing my 4 1/2 year old grand daughter pictures of me when I was younger and my hair was black. She said "That's not you, your hair isn't black, it's white!!!" I forgot that she has never seen me with dark hair!!! So I had to explain that my hair hasn't always been silver!! lol :lol: :lol:

I'm sort of thick headed, anyway. I always take the literal translation. My dad was a lumbering quiet man. My mom was a little quick mite and she chattered all the time. Her mother and sister would say, she is going to talk herself to death. She was making applesauce and she would talk through her instructions as she went.. She talked to the Watkins man, telephone, neighbors everywhere, Lawww, she talked even to herself. I asked her quietly if she would mind not talking so much !!!! Landing on yer backsides ain't funny. I tried to explain that I wanted her to live. She told Gran that I was fey....eh? Aye, the wee twit was a bit fey! It was quite a while before I could explain it all. She still didn't believe me, she said I took long enough to think it up. If I were to take that long in answering some man to marry him, I'd be in the long rocker. My Daddy lived a good while longer than she and he never did say alot. He would say, "she'll tell you." and thumb toward Mom.

Blessings,

That's so funny. My little granddaughter thinks her Nana lives in a computer screen, because we use Skype to visit. When she wakes up in the morning, she takes my daughter by the hand and leads her to the computer, saying "Nana, Nana!" I love it!

this isn't a misconception - this is a conception.

when our kids were small we went camping a lot. after a shower i wore a long loose-skirted dress with no undies. it was summer, right. it embarrassed my daughter to tears. i explained to her - and this is the conception - that no one would ever know unless they turned me upside down. :roll:

When I was little I thought that as long as my mom had checks, she had money!

Funny, isn't it, but a lot of people these days think if they have credit/debit cards, they have money. <g> Our kids have grown up watching us charge things, so I guess, to some extent, that's natural. Somebody along the way forgot to teach them the reality, though.
