As in... tickled you.. have a wry inwards smile.. dare I say it have a silent chuckle? I don’t drink tea and so have never spat it out Smile

There are tons... one from this week is from a thread where the teenagers had drunk all the milk at 2am leaving none for the OPs morning tea. What tickled me was a different poster empathising and saying that in a different thread the other OP had retaliated by “aggressively hoovering” outside their teen’s bedroom door.

Aggressively hoovering. Love it.

OMG that bonnet! Always makes me laugh- plus the comment about the bastard chick outrunning it's pal. Mumsnet finest.

@ButterflyRabbit oh my god, that Boden post - I’ve just read it in it’s entirety. Hilarious! 😂😂😂

JayAlfredPrufrock · 12/02/2021 22:10

Aw. The Biden thread made me nostalgic.

FossilisedFanny · 12/02/2021 22:12

The shoeless orphans was hysterical 🤣🤣

JayAlfredPrufrock · 12/02/2021 22:12

Biden🙄

Sign of the times.

Fossilised fannies

@HeadNorth

Does anyone remember the sinister Easter bonnet thread? The OP said she thought the Easter bonnet she had made of a fox and chickens was a bit scary. A photo was demaned - I wish I could find it - it was hilariously OTT and the responses were brilliant.
That thread made me fall in love with Mumsnet. This year I made DD an a sinister Easter bonnet in homage

I'm quite proud of my rendition. I failed on the green grass. We did try sticking actual grass to the bonnet but it didn't really work.

Because realism was important.

The one with the husband eating bird fat balls almost ended me when I read it originally - he thought they were ‘artisan Scotch eggs’ 😂

Landlockedinlockdown · 12/02/2021 22:30

@FossilisedFanny glad to see I’m not the only one who enjoyed that “gem” of a post.

I’m ashamed of myself... I hate puns Blush

I have a memory of a thread that was bloody brilliant. It’s on the tip of my memory and I can’t quite grab it. Something to do with a tiny baby’s hands and something the GP asked the mum to do. Any ideas?

DamnYouAutoCatRectal · 12/02/2021 22:52

@sproutpie I'm sure that was the same thread as the sucking the dentist's finger incident. Can't remember what she did with the tiny hands though!

Is it this one from @Northernsoullover?

"I've told this story before on here under an old user name. When my youngest was around 5 months old he was really unwell so duly trotted off to the GP. I had the baby on my lap as I was talking to the GP and he wanted to look in his throat. He said 'right if you could put one hand on his head and the other on his stomach so I can have a look in his mouth'. I took him at his word and took one of my baby's teeny tiny hands and placed it on his head and the other teeny hand on his stomach.
I sort of posed him. The GP looked at me and said 'No Northern, YOUR hands' and looked at me like I had a screw loose.
That GP always spoke really slowly to me after that as if I didn't have control of my faculties..."

NameChange215 · 12/02/2021 23:02

Argh yes!! It was something to do with posing the baby at the GPs? I remember I was crying with laughter. I remember the line 'I sort of posed him' Grin

DanceWithYourBalloon · 12/02/2021 23:02

Crying with laughter. Only problem is I'm sitting in my baby's room in the dark trying to get him back to sleep. May have to revisit this brilliant thread later 😂

NameChange215 · 12/02/2021 23:03

X posted with @CandidaAlbicans2. Thank you!

MondeoFan · 12/02/2021 23:21

@Diverseopinions haha I remember this one too

WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll · 12/02/2021 23:29

the OP said something like I’ve never heard of a badger who asks for a finger up the bum.

I've just come back from the latest Masked Singer thread, and my mind is now painting some very scary pictures Grin

Cattenberg · 12/02/2021 23:36

From the dolphin thread:

A friend of mine hates dolphins as their skin looks too tight

This really tickled me.

LivingMyBestLife2020 · 13/02/2021 00:21

I think this thread has been made of the back of this one...

"Tin-plated fanny"

Said about a woman who complained that her new bf didnt give her an hour of PIV sex like her previous bf did.

ImprobablePuffin · 13/02/2021 03:35

It was my hedge that people kept shagging in! Definitely not a badger but that thread did cheer me up in a time of voyeuristic distress Grin
