I was sorted old toiletries and cleaning the bathroom and ds wanted to help and he said ‘this is daddy’s ... ‘

Then he said ah mum has lots of green pipes

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 had to share

I don't get what green pipes are either, is it a regional thing?

Yes, a nether regional thing.

JaneJeffer · 30/07/2023 14:05

Yes, a nether regional thing.
👏👏👏

SoCentralRain · 30/07/2023 14:05

😆

UrsulaBelle · 30/07/2023 14:08

I’m still laughing at ‘bum fight!’ Is that a nether regional thing too?

JaneJeffer · 30/07/2023 14:09

My friend was brought up in a traditional Irish Catholic (they are lovely, don't get me wrong) family
This thread has everything doesn't it.

sometimes mumsnet has no sense of humour Of late and I forget that

And sometimes posters forget that others can't see into their head and simply don't know what they mean 😂

Yes 😂

JaneJeffer · 30/07/2023 14:10

Nobody will be laughing when they find out the OP's son is 21

Less that I've lost my sense of humour on Mumsnet, more that I've lost all sense of reality

🤣

PuppyMonkey · 30/07/2023 14:18

Reminds me of when a friend of mines daughter aged about 3 gave relatives a grand tour of the family's new house , showed them the new bathroom " this is the shower, this is the toilet " and picked up the box of Tampax " these are for mummy to wipe her bum" 🤣

Grin Now that’s funny.

I suppose the innocence of it all !! yes I do normalise these things (not trying to make a serious thread) but I just thought it was really funny

sometimes mumsnet has no sense of humour Of late and I forget that

It's not that its a lack of humour it's just that it makes no sense 😂

NuffSaidSam · 30/07/2023 12:05

The Tampax super is green for all those absolutely flummoxed.

I use them and still had no clue what OP meant 😂

pickledandpuzzled · 30/07/2023 14:22

Well. Where can it go from here?

JaneJeffer · 30/07/2023 14:24

Down the pan @pickledandpuzzled

SoupDragon · 30/07/2023 14:43

JaneJeffer · 30/07/2023 14:24

Down the pan @pickledandpuzzled

Noooo! You mustn't flush them!

JaneJeffer · 30/07/2023 14:47

I knew someone one would say that @SoupDragon Grin

YoSof · 30/07/2023 15:08

This is a very strange thread.

nocoolnamesleft · 30/07/2023 15:09

So it isn't about verdigris on copper piping? Because that's the first thing that comes to mind with green pipes in the bathroom.

Marlena1 · 30/07/2023 15:19

@Mariposista I'm from a traditional Irish Catholic family and periods were never taboo. My elderly dad (who goes to mass every day) often laments how tough women have it.

Lucky - that is how it should be.

Aposterhasnoname · 30/07/2023 15:28

Utterly lost here , I think green pipes must be tampons, but what the fuck have green turtles got to do with anything?

MrsMcisaCt · 30/07/2023 15:29

I tell you what has melted my heart - seeing 2 mumsnetters apologise and make up on here 😊

GoodChat · 30/07/2023 15:30

NooNakedJacuzziness · 30/07/2023 13:17

Tampax Super tampons (cardboard applicator) come in green wrappers. I'm 99.9% certain these are the "little pipes".

There's a great joke here but I'll get deleted if I make it!

newfloorplease · 30/07/2023 15:36

What is daddy's ?
I presume green pipes are tampons.

Thank you for asking that particular question. If a pp googled green pipes to get green turtle then I'm damned if I'm googling that! Or should I? 🤔

MrsMcisaCt · 30/07/2023 15:38

Green Turtle 🐢 is a make of tampons that are more environmentally friendly as don't contain plastic. I much prefer period pants myself.
