Unruly parents

[glojo]

T'aint what you all fink.

This evening I went to visit my daughter who has just undergone surgery at our local hospital.

For those that know me they know I cannot sit and am in a degree of permanant pain

To overcome this predicament I managed to lay on the floor in my daughter's room and attempted to cheer her up

After about ten minutes a nurse entered the room to take my daughters blood pressure and administer hr medication. The sight of this nurse's eyes bulging out of her sockets had to be seen to be believed. The poor young lady had no idea I was on the floor and she did not see me until she walked around to near where I was laying. After she had given out a little squeal I bade her good evening and said, "It's alright I'm just checking the cleanliness on the underside of this bed!"

"Dad!!!!!!!!!" Squawked my daughter. Then my wife gave my leg a kick, so I had to then explain how I was joking and looking for my pet tarantula!

"Don't dad" and another kick.

After the nurse left the room, I noticed the aroma of rotten cabbage coming from my corner of the room. "Dad, you stink!!" and another kick on the leg.

My son however was really enjoying the evening and though it was all hilarious, especially when my daughter started to lecture me about my behaviour.

I just cannot win........ I have 'Recycled' thinking I'm a miserable olde grouch and my daughter thinking I'm an immature person that needs to grow-up .

It's a funny olde World. First time I have been out for months and nagged at from not only my wife, but also my daughter.

Women!!!! can't livve with them, can't live without them.

I thought I would share this wityh everyone as I am a bit low and need some light relief

Take care and if you detect the aroma of rotten cabbage.............. Not guilty

Regards
John

Can't take you anywhere!!

 

[glojo]

Can't take you anywhere!!

Not you as well! where's the male solidarity?

You sound just like the two ladies in my life. In fact I'm sure my wife used exactly the same words.
I'm tempted to phone my daughter and ask if she is sleeping okay

Yours sincerely
John

I do believe, It's been said to me before

Well done John, a kindred spirit here!
It's my favorite past-time these days, embarrassing my daughters!

In restaurants, shops etc.. Especially satisfying is in front of the boyfriends

I think it's the repsosibility of every father, once the off-spring are in their late teens....

Strangely enough my wife adopts the same attitude as yours, as my shins will attest

Keep up the good work!

Anice tale, Glojo, it made me chuckle this morning so there is definite proof of your humour.

Obviously not every one is as finely tuned and won't see the funny side, but you have to keep at it. Well done, Sir.:bannana:

 

[Gollom]

Way to go John, way to go! :bannana: :bannana:

If you can't have a laugh you might as well stop at home!

Will have given the nurses something to chat about

I used to embarrass my daughters by taking them to the lingerie sections in clothing shops and pointing and giving out a dirty laugh.
Now my grandaughters take ME to the lingerie section and embarrass ME by pointing and laughing.

What goes around comes around.

 

[scumbag]

Women!!!! you can't live with them, and you can't live with them.

just a little re-phrasing to help out and make it a tad more accurate. Next time this sentances is phrased, emphasise the underlined and increase the volume when saying the bold. Usually shuts them up!



and was the underside of the bed ok?

I fear I might be grounded

[whitenemesis]

I think it's time, John, you put your foot down with a firm hand and clarified who's boss!!

BTW my vision is clearing slowly but the bruised fingers may take a bit longer.....

 

[glojo]

If I behave myself my wife and daughter tell me I can be the head of the household

Regards
John

Being someone who has been thoroughly and I mean thoroughly put through the mill by certain women folk, I know exactly what you mean here.

The only 'tool' in my armoury left that seems to work at all is the one of humiliation They (teenage girls) hate it. If I threaten to speak to one of their friends or parents etc they go absolutely nuts. They know though that if I threaten it, i'll do it!

Here is a funny tale;

Dinner was just being served and the girls had been called three times but still hadnt appeared. I went into the study and explained that if they didnt come right now I would simply unplug the computer. The reply came back to me 'you wouldnt dare'. Click. Jaws dropped and they came in to dinner and said 'Mum, hes just unplugged the computer'. Silence. I was then told how stupid I had been to do this and how immature I was. Blah blah blah. Switched ears off at this point.

They didn't do it again though

Disable a port on the router - much more fun as they can SEE the connection but can't do 'owt with it....

It's in their genes I reckon. And larger lungs clearly

Yes dear I'm just a shadow of the man I once was (I think I'll get on with the housework now before I get into any more trouble )
