My DS has, over the years, asked me some odd questions. Last night I popped my head round his door, he was gaming with friends who were all connected on Teams/whatsapp, there was a chorus of “Hi Angrymum” followed by a question “Who do you think would win on an Xbox game, you or my mum?”
They are 21 FGS!
I dread to think what else they debate.

My neighbour asked if I'd like a piece of Victoria Sponge

Well, duh!!!

Do you know that you have spelt bizarre incorrectly? That may count as rude, it's not funny or bizarre.

I don’t understand what’s so bizarre about what he said?

When DD was 6 she asked me ‘if you have a cat who’s the winner’?

Well, we all all know the answer to that!

The joys of working with teenagers

My 14yo asked me to buy her "liquid cheese".

After a lot of questions, I worked out she wanted some cream cheese.

My teenage son asked if I thought he’d made a good sword swallower.

I did not.

Would you like to see a picture of the snot we sucked from our baby?
Er, no. I’m good thanks.

Not today, but my son asked me who I thought would win in a race between a statue and a tree. I was driving at the time, I usually am when he asks me bonkers questions. They often involve the 64 times tables (autistic maths wizz). My youngest is the most crazy, but I can't actually think of any of his atm. It's usually me telling him to stop doing mad things, rather than questions.

My usually very bright 14 year son asked me if I could pass him the house key that is on my car keys so he could open a dodgy ring pull on a can of pop. He knows it is attached to my car keys.

I was driving at 70mph on the motorway. With the car keys in the ignition. He looked bemused when I explained that i could not take a key off my car keys while driving.

His next question was whether I could pass him the keys to take it off himself.

I almost opened the car door and left him on the side of the m6.

Thank you. I was multi tasking when I wrote the post so missed auto spell correction. I have a friend who is always correcting me. She doesn’t know but I slip in at least one malapropism or incorrect pronunciation every time we speak just to keep her on her toes and make her feel just that little bit superior.

Bizarre was just one option. I suspect it was off the back of a conversation about things your mum can do. I didn’t ask, I don’t really want to know.
I used to tell my DS that mums know everything, in reference to what their children get up to. He took it literally and spent months trying to catch me out with more and more questions. We had a long school run and what it did do was introduce some really interesting topics of conversations.
The funniest answer he has ever given me, as a 4 yr, was when I asked if his imaginary friend, a stegosaurus ( dinosaur mad only child), had got in the car. He looked at me, rolled his eyes and told me not to be ridiculous and that he was far too big to fit in the car. I then asked if he was running behind us, no, he was riding his motorbike.

Oh, he sounds a lot like my youngest.

A couple of weeks ago, he shouted to me from the bathroom that he'd found a Bob! (Bob is what we call all spiders in this house). He wanted me to come and look. I called back that I was eating my tea at the moment, but to tell Bob I said hello. I could hear him chatting away to the spider while he was having a poo (sorry) but couldn't make out what he was saying. Several minutes later, he came back and casually said "I was having a meeting with Bob. He was telling me about his family. He's split up with his wife!" He comes out with the most random things and makes me laugh every day.
