I’ll tell you something funny...

[Happytodayhappytomorrow]

And then you have to tell me something funny in return. Ok?

No idea why this memory came to me yesterday but hey, I’m still cringing but you might chuckle

When DC2 was born, home birth in a pool. My DM is present in case DC1 wakes up.
After the birth, DH calls his mum and she comes straight over.
I’ve torn a bit and need stitches.
It’s now about 11pm and Midwife says the best light to stitch by is to turn off the kitchen lights and use a torch.
My DM is holding the new baby.
DH is emptying the birthing pool.
So my MIL holds the torch while the midwife stitches me up!
When MIL came round the next day, she told me how impressed she was with the midwife’s stitches

You’ve got to laugh haven’t you?

Please tell me about a funny incident in your life.
I’m feeling rather blue today snd I know you guys can make me smile.

TIA

I saw my a bloke at a comedy gig, where the comedian got him up on the stage. He had been helping with the disco behind the curtain, and his phone had gone off. Typical. Comedian seized phone, and rang random woman, who Bloke said was his daughter. Then told her he had kidnapped him. 100 odd people in the audience laughed like drains. Drink may have been taken. Daughter very nonchalent, and said, "Oh, have you" Very unconcerned. I assumed set up. Would normally have been something I would never have known the truth about. Compere for the night was Tinky Winky, in normal clothes. Several dates in with now DH, found out he was Daft Bloke. I hadn't recognised him, and it was all real! I would never have known that if we hadn't started dating. I didn't have to marry him, but I did.

Ds used to call windscreen wipers "window skelpers" , when he was a toddler

A few years back we discovered one of the plastic bottles we keep drink in in the car was leaking as the top was broken.

DH was all for pouring the drink into the other, identical but empty, bottle that was also there.

Until I pointed out we could just swap the lids.

Ok this is my favourite family story that never fails to make me laugh. We were on a family holiday in the UK. Me, DH and our four children. We were having a great time in the site pool which had a fierce lazy river. I mean fierce once you were in its loop you couldn't get off it until they stopped it! My teenage son, about 14 was a bit ahead of us riding it backwards. To his horror he ended up with his head in the bosoms of a large lady in front of him. He was kind of laying on them like pillows. He couldn't extract himself, she couldn't get him off. Both were mortified! We couldn't reach to help so they basically do multiple loops until the cycle ended! I could barely function for days after as recalled it vividly i my mind. He did apologise to her profusely and there was no more going backwards!!

I had to have a colposcopy. The consultant recommended a local anaesthetic and, being a total wuss, I agreed. I nearly jumped through the ceiling when the needle was inserted. I'd been getting mentally prepared for an injection into my arm - as that is where all other injections had been! - and was totally gobsmacked that local was that local, lol.

I've only just seen these replies

Thank you all. I do love a giggle to start my day

Yumscrum - I can understand why you might not be able to 'unsee' the sight of your son. Poor lad.

Ha ha h these have cheered me up 😊
