I put googly eyes on things around my home

Just a bit of silliness to cheer us up. Dh and I found it funny anyway. 👀

I'm stealing this idea tomorrow!

TwoZeroTwoZero · 29/12/2020 23:55

I'm wondering how long it'll take our dc to notice in the morning Grin

Are there any childish, silly things that never fail to cheer you up?

The oven gloves are fantastic- can you do other things that might look like they would have a mouth? Scissors? Socks?

This is excellent. Reminds me of Miranda and her ‘Fruit Friends’.

TwoZeroTwoZero · 30/12/2020 00:08

Yes 😂 I've been doing it all night!

Crack on I say. There’s not enough silliness when we become adults!

I just had to google this Grin. I might find it on YouTube and watch it.

I did this once for April Fools... Some of them were spotted pretty quickly, others took weeks & I'd forgotten I'd even done it by then!

NatriumChloride · 30/12/2020 00:11

This is hilarious!! Thanks OP, I needed a good chuckle!

TwoZeroTwoZero · 30/12/2020 00:12

@Prokupatuscrakedatus

They will watch you!!!
But almost all of them look happy so it's fine Grin

The cheese grater! Brilliant! Thanks OP.

I think you’d enjoy Miranda if you like some silliness. She would stick googly eyes on inanimate objects if she could 😂

TwoZeroTwoZero · 30/12/2020 00:18

I thought it might be a bit lowbrow for mn but I'm glad that others share my joy of silly things!

It’s lovely! A bit of light-hearted relief from the world.

I saw my usual GP once on the first appointment of the day he came back from leave.
The locum had left his office with ingeniously placed googly eyes all over the place.
Had the bizarre experience of being urgently admitted to hospital whilst the GP and I periodically set each other off laughing (I've known him years and he's usually very professional!)
That was a surreal day.

Chabbylis · 30/12/2020 00:29

That’s a bit of fun! I usually draw funny faces on fruit that is out in a bowl - melon and butternut squash are particularly good!

Shock that's an amazing story (I hope you're OK btw)! I'm a supply teacher so am now wondering if I could do that in some of the classrooms I visit HmmGrin

Ds once drew a face on an apple with a Sharpie. It was funny but made the fruit inedible so I told him not to do it again!

Doesn't everyone do this? Blush

I usually draw faces on eggs ...

Grin they probably do but we've only just thought of it!

🤣🤣. Those gloves do look ever so cute.
What’s that called when you can see faces in things, pandolia I think or something like that

Me too! My cordless phone has eyes 😁
