mumsnet favourite quotes of all time

(with apologies for inaccuracies)

IF my DH woke me up at 6am I would sh*t on his side of the bed. (Custy)

I will feed my baby how I want and if it turns their stomachs they can F off. (hunkermunker)

Mumsnet is a family of love and knuckles. (papillon I think)

I am just looking at the lettuce (moondog's dd's excuse for keep opening the fridge at Christmas time)

and probably my favourite:

I must be thinking of Burma...

[sparklemagic]

mine is from a 'things children say' thread and I don't know who it was but their darling child said to their father while in a communal changing room;"Look daddy, that man's willy is bigger than yours!"

I just cannot imagine the torment of that poor man

[Mercy]

I was thinking about the lettuce one the other day funnily enough but couldn't remember whose child had said it. It still makes me laugh!

What's the Burma one?

[Milliways]

God rest ye merry, Mumsnetters
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, to buy batteries,
To use on Christmas day
To save us all from Mega strops
When Children go astray
O tidings of Argos and joy,
Argos and joy
O tidings of Argos and joy.


By Martian Bishop

mercy - it was a mumsnetter who when pregnant was asked by her tweedy work colleague "so how long will you breastfeed? till they're three I suppose? no? oh I must have been thinking of Burma"

it is my new answer when I asked why I seem to be still feeding a three year old - "I must have been thinking of Burma...."

[NotActuallyAMum]

expatinscotland on the thread about old people waving walking sticks around. Someone said be careful what was said in case any old people look at the thread:

"Yeah well bring it on - unless they can wave their sticks in cyberspace I'm taking names and kicking arse!

[bluejelly]

Still don't get the burma one
Am I really thick?

[harpsichordcarrier]

it is rather surreal bluejelly
bit I think she was an ex colonial type who was trying to (subtly) refer to the "natives"

[SenoraPostrophe]

I can't remember who posted it (maybe suzywong?) but my favourite quote ever was something like "but you can just turn sheets over after a few weeks and get another week's wear out of them, like pants"
