For this to make me cringe

So as usual, there's a lot of status updates on FB 'to' Dads in the normal, boring vein of 'thanks for bring the best dad in the world etc etc'. Which I read and think 'eurgh' at the best of times. (send a card! say it to his face!) But goodness to gracious I've just come across a right corker:

'Thank you to my darling Fiancé on Fathers Day for loving the spirits of our future children'

That's his cue to run, right?

iliketea · 16/06/2013 10:35

That made me laugh - the spirits of our future children!!! what a poncy thing to say.

Sparklingbrook · 16/06/2013 10:35

Poor future children.

loolooskiptotheloo · 16/06/2013 10:35

hahahaha that is fantastic Grin

TheOneWithTheHair · 16/06/2013 10:35

Hahaha! Is she 12? That made me laugh and cringe at the same time. Grin

Some people take themselves so seriously.

That is vomit inducing!!

Sadly enough i think there is a woman i know of who would post some tripe like that Hmm

usualsuspect · 16/06/2013 10:37

That status might be a bit cringy, but the rest of your post unreasonable.

That is obviously a completely sarcastic piss-take of all the other soppy statuses. No one could possibly EVER post that seriously.

Could they?

lottiegarbanzo · 16/06/2013 10:38

Ugh, I find that quite creepy. I'm afraid the concept of 'child spirits' makes me think of dead children and suggests mawkish Victorian spiritualism.

The writer hasn't thought about the possiblity of infertility, has she.

iliketea · 16/06/2013 10:41

Maybe that's her "i'm pregnant with twins" announcement and no-one's understood it because they're all too busy laughing?

Antisecco · 16/06/2013 10:41

Definitely one for the spreadsheet of what gets FB a bad name!

The writer hasn't thought about the possibility of infertility, has she.

I think you could end that sentence after the fourth word Lottie and it would still make perfect sense!

BillyGoatintheBuff · 16/06/2013 10:43

noooooo!!!!

Alisvolatpropiis · 16/06/2013 10:43

HAHAAHAHAHA!

Good grief that is awful!

superbadspeller · 16/06/2013 10:49

Sadly she posts a lot of this type of rubbish - and lots of 'inspirational' stuff. Another recent one, about planning her wedding':

'Amazing day creating wonderment and magic for our perfect union day'

I'm not even sure that makes sense...

Why do you have someone you don't like on your FB?

JuliaScurr · 16/06/2013 10:52
