Oh no! I’m a narrator!

[Heatstrokeunsteady]

Talk to your kids, they said
Get them talking, they said.

Ten years later I find myself saying to myself “Let’s defrost the food, put a wash on and sweep before I go out.”

Like a proper mad person 🥵. I’ve turned into a narrator. Leave no thought unspoken for if I think without speaking, has it even been thought?

Send help and a muzzle please.

Kids actually do send you mad don’t they

I was rocking and patting a sack of potatoes in the queue at the supermarket today

That's so funny! Similar but different, my OH has his own sign language that he uses when speaking, which we always thought was really funny. For example, he'll say "i was reading (finger pointing along lines of imaginary text) the manual ( a kind of obvious book sign - open palms) and it said I need to take the lead (enact the length of cord)..." you get the picture. Now that he's actually hard of hearing I now use our own sign language as well!

Haha. I was once on a bus, pointed htrough the window at a construction site and shouted out excitedly: Look! A digger!

DC weren't with me. But lots of commuters were. 😊

Glad to find my people. I go about my house talking away and my dog follows me looking happy and wagging his tail. So he must enjoy my ramblings lol.

Although took the dog out for a walk this morning and realised I was explaining everything to him. Look at the trees blowing in the wind, look theres a pheasant etc 😳🤷‍♀️😂

Although sometimes when I am twittering away he will get up and leave the room. What does that say?

So the kids know what to call us and to make things make more sense to them. If I said "I'm going to the shops" They don't know who 'I' is. But as everyone calls me mummy it makes sense for me to use the name too. When kids are older and speaking better 'I' is fine

What about if you shout ‘Haha - screw you, bitch!’ at the freezer when you finally manage to chip off enough ice for the door to close properly again?

Hypothetically?

I do the same! My husband is convinced that I’m known in our village as the woman who talks constantly to her dog.

I ask my dog which was he wants to go and stand there while he decides.

@WomanStanleyWoman2 That is both a literal and moral victory which should be neither underestimated nor overstated.

I'd work up a little hellacious hula dance to go with your victory cry.

These "inanimate appliance" bitches have to be put in their place. If you don't shout at them, they'll never learn. 😉

@MadisonAvenue ha ha ha ha! Can see me doing this too to be honest 🤣

I talk to myself all the time, because I’m the only one I’ll get any sense out of. I don’t care if people think I’m a bit weird, I probably am. I also sing in public as well.

Yes, I want to know this, too!

Previous post was meant to quote this...

@Kanaloa "You can chat to the dog all day and never hear a huff or a puff or any backchat."

You clearly don't have a husky! He is forever answering me back. The retriever cross does the whole teenage eye roll/flounce/sigh when I ask (ask not tell) him to sit elsewhere and the terrier squeaks and paws at me until I figure out what he wants.

I don't even have kids and I do this. I live alone and just chatter away to myself ("shall we put the washing out now? Yes, good idea" etc etc). I have no idea why.

At least you talked to your children. This morning I had to wait in a queue for over an hour and witnessed a parent not once talking to their 5-6 yr old child, instead looking at their phone.
Too right, I'm judging.

I do it at work, apparently. My colleague recently said she has had to teach herself to ignore me!!

😂

No she was a staffy mix. No backchatting or sighing. My friend does have a husky though and (although he’s beautiful) I wouldn’t!

agree With previous posters - a dog is the only intelligent way forward! They are always interested in what you are saying or doing. If I speak in a certain pitch, my dog ‘talks’ back - its so sweet!

My lovely Staffy was a master of the well-placed sigh and withering look.

I think he was the brains of our particular operation. His carefully-timed bottom-emissions were certainly the lingering fragrance of it. Didn't dare light a candle some evenings - the whole street would've gone up.

@REP22

The fan says good morning to you 🤗

@Heatstrokeunsteady

I'll let my friend know your thoughts!

@WinterMusings

😀A very good morning to my cyclical friend. And hearty good wishes in return from me and the dishwasher.

The service-man is coming later, so I have told the boiler that it'd better buck up its ideas. That ought to do it.

Keep smiling 😉

@REP22

Thank you to you both!!

my boiler sends his best wishes to yours for an easy check up!!

(little does he know he's getting one soon!! I'll tell him on the morning it's due, no need for weeks of worry!)

have a good day😄

@WinterMusings yes, no need to get them riled up... keep 'em sweet 😉
