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

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.

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!

My Mum had a new orange Volkwagon beetle, took herself to Brent Cross shopping centre. After several hours shopping she went back to the car.....cars she could'nt remember the number, her key worked in at least ten similar orange beetles. She eventually found hers parked diagonally across 2 spaces with the seat belt dangling down. Wonder where I get it from ?

Lindsey lol, That is so embarassing when that happens lol I can remember I sat laughing one day when I parked my dark blue megane in a car park and another identicle one parked alongside, Hayley my wife returned to the car and before she knew it had almost sat on the lap of the passenger sat in the other car. I just creased up laughing lol

In the pouring rain, having decided on a taxi, I jumped into the passenger seat of a car and demanded to be taken home. The man was most suprised, as he had come to collect his wife, it's at time like that a suitable stone is required to crawl under.!

my sister went into a department store to buy a new light pull for her bathroom. First she bought the bottom piece and asked the assistant where she could find the cord. The assistant said "Downstairs by the meter" Sister says - "Well that's a stupid thing to say, d'you mean, electric meter, gas meter or water meter - how will I know which meter" Assistant said scathingly "By the metre - measurement metre" Doh!!

ok will add just one......

We was on holiday a few yrs back, staying in a static caravan and i went down to the shop for bread milk etc. Came back and entered by back door of caravan, to find all these strange people looking at me!!!! Ours was next one along, and they had very similar car to ours, which in my daydream i had mistaken for ours, and of course the vans were identical. In my defence we had only been there about hour, so hadn't got my bearing!!!! Kids and OH rolled up laughing when i told them!!!

My daughter takes quite a lot of medication and this week developed thrush ........................she got some tablets to clear it up and took them for 3 days.

Thrush still there and now she was constipated too.....................yesterday, she was tellin me all about it and she checked her medication.

She had been taking pills for diarrhoea instead of the antifungal ones!!
