you really can't. i'm so annoyed i didn't write them down as they came - you think you'll always remember - but i can barely remember what happened yesterday.



a friend of mine whose mother died was really torn about whether or not to bring her 6 year old daughter Sam to Granny's funeral. finally she decided she would, and would try and talk her through it, the realities of life etc... etc...

When the coffin was carried into the church Sam asked what it was and was told 'That's (sympathetic tones) called a coffin. That's where Granny's body is.' Sam duly started roaring crying, escalated wailing 'But- but- but!' and had to be taken out - everybody watching them down the aisle till Sam finally got the rest of her sentence out

'But Mummy where's her head then?!'

When I was santa at school a couple of years ago, a conversation with a 9 year old girl.


Santa, "Come and sit here - what's your name ?".


Girl, "Tabitha".


Santa, "Here's a surprise present you can open later. What else would you like for Christmas".


Girl, "A new brain".


Santa, "Interesting, why would you like a new brain for Chrismas ?!".


Girl, "Because I'm useless in school and my parents get embarassed 'cause I'm so stupid".

I was totally stunned by what she said and asked her what she was good at, suggesting maybe she could concentrate on the things that interest HER the most so she can be happy at doing well with those..

But no, I failed to get her new parents, the sack of presents was pretty much full of only party bags, no adoptive parents in there that I could see !

My 4 year old girl while we were driving up to Barbican family film club..


Dad !


Yep ?


My brain's not working properly.


Oh, that sounds pretty heavy baby.


Yeah, I think it's gonna stop in a minute, it's broken.


What does it feel like, I mean HOW can you tell ?


Well, I've gone blind Dad.


*WANTS to concentrate on driving through Elephant & Castle but looking around to check daughter 'looks' OK*

Well, can you see anything, I mean can you see Daddy ?


Yeah but you're not real, Dad.


OK.... can you see the road and cars ?


Yeah.


Well that's good sweetie, maybe you're not blind just yet.


Dad I think my brain's working again now.


Excellent darling because the film starts in 20 minutes...

haha!! that's hilarious

Sat in his car seat at the age of about 2 and 1/2, with me in the back, his mum driving and my mother sat in the front seat my son noted that we'd just been cut up by another car. He piped up, "Is he a w@nker too mummy, like the man you shouted at yesterday?"


Having lived all his life in Wakefield, West Yorkshire at the age of 4 he tried to converse with an American child at Disneyland Florida. Said child was wearing a baseball cap and dungarees, was chronically obese scoffing a huge burger and the offspring of what can only be described as God fearin' southern folk who believed in truth justice and the American way as administered by large hand guns. Several attempts to engage with the child failed. To which he loudly announced "Dad, this kid is stupid as well as fat and ugly."


Tha' can allus tell a Yorkshireman, but tha' cannot tell 'im much.

Fine, fine stuff KK, I'm not sure whether you might want to offer it to Peep Show or Outnumbered.

I could see it working some way in either.


Anyway, you had me at 'Oh, that sounds pretty heavy, baby'


Made my Friday night KK.

me - 17 years old, standing in front of bathroom mirror at my mum's house, plastering on a ridiculous amount of make-up. Foundation first.


brother - 5 yrs old, watching intently...then he innocently asks why I am putting on 'new skin'.


A *little* bit older now and I am thinking 'if only it were that easy' ;)


PS. I persuaded him that my lip gloss was just colourless lip balm. You gotta get your own back, right? I remind him of it regularly.

It seems so right.

    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
