My brainy grandson, now at uni studying lager was very inteligent, but a literalist as a child. We would tell him to get lost, and hours later he would be at the bottom of the garden, being lost.!
His best ever was at the doctors where he would read all the leaflets. In a loud voice he asked where his gentiles were,,,,red faces all round!

I must admit to one 'lost it' moment.
I was in the shower, shaving my legs. Did the front - that was easy then spent 5 minutes trying to work out how I could get the back of my leg to the front!!

When I came out, my daughter asked why I had been laughing hysterically in the bathroom. I was foolish enough to tell her.

I was chatting to my daughter about a week ago about something she did when a young teenager :)
I said I was going to add it to her wedding speech :):)

My daughter had developed an allergic rash and we went to the doctors, he prescribed some cream.

On returning home, daughter was looking at the instructions and asked me what for external use only meant. I explained it had to be used on the outside only. Well five minutes later I noticed she had disappeared. I looked everywhere and then out of the window, there she was putting the cream on lol
When I asked what she was doing she said, Dad you said it had to go on outside lol

Colin - It's probably just as well the dog is to big to be lifted or I would never know where I would find him. :-) :-)

Ann my sister relies on her five year old to remember where her car is and he usually does. :-)

parked my car in a multi-story in Cardiff, looked on the wall to see which floor - 5 it said. Right keep that in mind, off to do the shopping. Return to car park, level 5, no car! Really angry now, have had four cars stolen in the past and am hoping that whoever has taken it kills themselves in it!! Evil!! ring the police to report it stolen, by which time a crowd has gathered around me - all tutt tutting, offering me lifts home and saying that like me they will never park in that particular multi again. Police woman says "ask whoever is on duty if there is CCTV on level 5. On ground floor now I find attendant - is there CCTV on level 5 please. We start talking and I notice there is a 5 on the gorund floor - just a 5 in a circle. What's that 5 I asked. Five miles an hour he answered. And I suppose this 5 is on every level? It is he said. Well in that case I suppose my car is not on level 5. Give me the number, I'll take a look he said. Sure enough, it's on level 3. Am I the first person to make this mistake? Oh no, people do it all the time!! Well why don't you put m.p.h. under it? Dunno he said. So I then have to ring the police back and eventually leave the multi in a state of utter confusion!!

my mum with not so good eyes ,has in the past sprayed her hair with fly spray,,,!!!which both were kept under the sink,,,,,,

happy to say she was nit free,,,,,,,,,))

Think one of the daftest things I did was pour a kettle of water into the teapot which in a mindless moment had put a bag of sugar in instead of the sugar basin,,,,,,,,,

one which I do regular is,,,,make coffee /tea ,
