When I get in the bath and it's a bit hot I always

When it's dinner time I sing 'dinner, dinner, dinner, dinner...' to which ds answers 'batman, batman, batman.

If either dc is pestering for something or getting in a tiz about something I always say to them, 'Don't panic Captain Mainwaring!'

My brother and I used to bark and meow tip each other. I'd say 'Meow,' like a cat and he'd bark like a dog. We'd do that a couple of times until I made that hissy rarrww noise that a cat makes and then he'd make a noise like a frightened dog running away.

When my dc tell me they're hungry I tell them I'm Poland and that it's nice to meet them. If they tell me they're thirsty I say I'm Friday. Dd, 3, replies with, 'I want you to get me a drink then, Friday!'

If I give my dc anything and they don't say please or thank you I ask them what the magic word is. They say please or thank you and I say, 'No, abracadabra!'

This thread has reminded me....
When I'm preparing a chicken for roasting it I usually give it a smack while smearing it with butter and sing "hey chickie chickie my little chickie friend" in a strange French accent.
It's my very inappropriate way of thanking the chicken for being a yummy roast dinner

There are many others in here that I do. But since I don't live in the UK anymore and DH is German many of them fall very flat indeed. It's a sad sad state of affairs when I say "I like my coffee black, like my men" and all I get from DH is
He isn't black, just confused and German

If anyone asks me what the time is I always reply with its hammertime.

Good lord I irritate myself with that

six Beige Itredescent Lipstick!! Ha ha I do that every time I can't find anything at all!!!

SHREK!

I always say that'll do donkey, that'll do shriek style.. At work..to juniors 😳

when i clean the kennels at work and i use flash i say to the cats . I'm going to use the flash r r now. Its evolved from glash!!aaaaahhhaaahhh saviours of the universe. I don't think they are that bothered.

I absolutely love this thread, especially the poster's DH with his 'pent up uh-huhs' from page 1 - I'm dying at that

This one is really weird but from some TV programme in the 90s there was a character who said "damn you, Kropotkin" so I always say that if someone's annoyed me.

I had annoying habit of singing NWA'a Express Yourself - 'I'm expressing with my full capabilities' every time I used to pump milk. I even had to do the high pitched squeaks.

When I see a sign saying 'Mud on road' I have to sing 'that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, that's neat, I really love your tiger feet.'

If there is a sign saying 'this door is alarmed' I have to whisper 'there, there, everything's okay.'

When I remember something embarrassing I have to whistle, or sing la la la and skip. Mr Crap has to say 'there are bunnies' to distract himself from remembering embarrassing things.

Whenever anyone says 'Shall I put the kettle on?' the response is always 'I don't think it will suit you.'

Cold callers here in Germany have v far away codes so if my daughter answers or I hand her the phone she does a splendid routine.

Adopts an American accent & splutters something in English like "Do you not know I've split up with my boyfriend and I haven't done my homework and I'm so stressed - and how DARE you sir, I say how DARE you call me? Good day to you sir" and hangs up. It's all very high-pitched & squeally.

And effective.

Posted earlier but now realise I do more than I thought, least 80% of this thread - but only as I was thinking about them today I realised my 8yr old also responds to
Question - tell me what you think about me (dont think she's actually heard the song mind)
My own mother is to blame for this awesome behaviour, we just had the conversation
Mum - I might get a stepper
Me - will you be a hot stepper?
Mum - turn it up!
The song continued .....

Originalmavis - meringue sort-of sounds like Am I wrong?' In a NE accent, hence the answer, 'Nah, yer reet' - no, you're right.

Whenever Law and Order or Law and Order:SVU start, I have to recite the "In New York City......" bit, in a deep, fake American accent. All the family roll their eyes at me.

And whenever the Hairy Bikers are on the TV, I say, "I'd do Si, I wouldn't do Dave" - cue more eye-rolling.

My shoulders are silently shaking next to my husband here.....
YY to a lot of these, esp the key, the secret
and the airplane ones. I realise I am in fact completely normal now!

Mine to add, whenever I see a FB status end in 'woop woop' I silently add "that's da sound of da po-lice" NWA stylee.....

I am proud to say my TA and I are training our primary class in many of these:

I've got the key, I've got the secret
STOP! Collaborate and listen
You are GOLD, gold!
You didn't want to do that

Probably loads more - I'll miss her if she moves on!

Ooh and if anyone mentions the word "rucksack" I say "Ya gun pleased to help me wiz my rooksack?" (phonetic) a la Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading places.

I swear I didn't know it was wrong until I did karaoke at a student party and everyone was looking at me like I was insane
The bugger

Brilliant

1. I also have a "song for every occasion" ( ba dum-tish!) and drive my family and friends (DS especially) mad as I must burst into random song multiple times during the day. Juust started a new job so being conservative atm. It won't last long.

1. If someone mentions "Crete" my DH will ALWAYS say immediately afterwards "Ah, Creta" because he thinks it's the correct/Greek/authentic way it should be pronounced. I have no idea if he's right. I do know however that it annoys the fuck out of me and whoever he says it to looks like this

How about 'Battersea Dogs' Home - Duty dog speaking"!

It's bartholomew bear who couldn't find it ANYWHERE!the lost kitten
