Yyy to Flash
Big Bang Theory.

Stop - too collaborate and listen surely?
And don't call me Shirley.

I add
"What can you make of this?"

Every, single time

I once cried because dh didn't sing "we built the pyramids". It was a thing we used to do, then I kept on doing it and he didn't. Made me question our future if he could give it up so easily. I wasn't even pregnant.

In my more rational moments, I always say "home again, home again, jiggidy jig" as we pull into the driveway. DD says it now too --she better not turn on my like her father did

When my dh hears the name Isabel he says necessary on a bike.

I'm a vet, and whenever I castrate an animal, from tomcat to horse, I absentmindedly sing under my breath YMCA "Young man, there's no need to feel down..."

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 26/04/2016 19:52

Whenever anyone says "Stop"

I always say "Hammer Time"

DD got some funny looks and gasps of horror when her teacher asked the class "What do you think of it so far?" and she shouted out "RUBBISH" (Luckily the teacher got the reference) Grin

When I hear someone say "be alert" I always say, the world needs more lerts. Thanks for that DH!

brie I thought I was out of the habit, now DS2 is obsessively watching bubble guppies and it is back!

If someone says 'I have a question'

I will interrupt before they finish the sentence with my finest rendition of Beyoncé's 'question: tell me how you feel about me'. Complete with butt attitude and finger waggle.

WingMirrorSpider · 26/04/2016 19:44

Oh, and the Wayne's world head bang and drum riff when I hear Bohemian Rhapsody.

Justmuddlingalong · 26/04/2016 19:43

Whenever DP and I are travelling by train, as the train pulls out of the station, I whisper a very quiet 'choo choo'.

WingMirrorSpider · 26/04/2016 19:43

Whenever anyone mentioned Gordon Brown on the news, I always sang 'texture like sun'.

BrieAndChilli · 26/04/2016 19:43

When ever anyone asks what time is it I can't help but say 'it's time for lunch'

dylsmimi · 26/04/2016 19:42

When we watch Big Bang theory dh and I always have to say 'I never used to like this at the beginning'
Because we didn't and had several repetitive conversations about it !

mogloveseggs · 26/04/2016 19:41

Whenever I hear hot stuff I have to do the full monty queue dance lol. Very subtlety if I'm in public but it has to be done

hugoagogo · 26/04/2016 19:41

I still sing the sultans of ping every time I misplace my knitwear Blush

TheScottishPlay · 26/04/2016 19:40

If supermarket music features a piccolo at any time I have to do a Tommy Steele type jig.
DS used to love it, now he runs away.

absolutelynotfabulous · 26/04/2016 19:40

iklboo I do "don't call me Shirley* too.

ApologiesToInsectLife · 26/04/2016 19:39

What do you mean the last bit? The sort of warble that Mozza does? I'm trying to picture this (in a non pervy way!!!)

mogloveseggs · 26/04/2016 19:38

Honey thank goodness I thought I was alone in my madness. Kids look at me like I'm from another planet Grin

mogloveseggs · 26/04/2016 19:36

Whenever I go on a day trip with dm we always sing "we're off we're off we're off in a motor car, sixty coppers are after us and we don't know where we are". Song of choice mid journey is ilkley Moor bah'tat Blush
