Mine:
Yelled 'no, I don't like fruit, it's unreliable!!' when 9yr old dd was trying to force-feed me a piece of tangerine (although I stand by it! One piece of fruit is not necessarily as nice as another!).

In one perfectly smooth swoop I leaped from the car, threw the parcel in the bin instead of the neighbouring post box and leaped back into my seat. Oh well, it wasn't anything important.

Ordered a glass jar from SHEIN to put my coffee pods in. It turned up the size of a small teacup. Dgs found this hilarious.

Dd 21 and I were trying to come up with a name for our new (adopted from a rescue) cat. He’s a very cute but laddish type and we were going through many different names. Dd said in a half joking way “oh we will just have to call him Gary or something at this rate” - and then we really started laughing and now Gary has stuck! 😂 (We’re a family who normally calls our pets things like Cookie, Buttons etc that sort of thing). So now we have a cat who will be Gary and it will make me laugh every time I think of it 🤣

Told her I'd signed myself up for a Boxercise class.

she nearly wet herself laughing, was stood leaning against the bookshelf to stop herself falling over. Apparently the idea of me boxing/doing exercise was just that funny.

Put my oversized-on-me jumper on them. Both thought it was hilarious. They are 5, to be fair.

Carouselfish · 09/01/2025 13:56

Loving these. My kids would also die laughing at the idea of me boxercising.

Put me in a handcuff made out of a ribbon and put me in a jail made from cushions and said that she is a policegirl ! and daddy was not allowed to rescue me. and when I made a sad face, she cracked up. She is 3 and half 🤣

Mine are adults and I make them laugh all the time the time. Mostly because my deafness makes me come late to conversations. I also laugh at jokes long after others.

My GS was relating a funny story about a call he had as a paramedic. He said, “every answer he gave was perfect” to which SiL said. “He must have needed a CAT scan”. 5 minutes later I laughed and said ‘oh I only just got that” and went into giggles. It was not that funny but my delayed reaction caused everyone to collapse into their Christmas pudding.

Pretended that the dog was a rugby ball and I was going to throw her out the window.

No dogs were harmed!

Purr-fect answers - cat scan. Not really funny I know. You kinda had to be there with a fair consumption of alcohol.

Rictasmorticia · 09/01/2025 17:20

However the number of sober posters who did not get it as made me feel better. Possibly because in hindsight it was not funny

Today. On a walking holiday with 18yo dd.

fell on ice and hurt arm. Told dd that next week, back at work, I was going to inform them (fantasy) I had incurred an injury from mountaineering in the Peak District. rather than (reality) while doing the children’s walk behind the Year 9 school trip.

Don’t know why but it cracked us both up.
