So my younger sister kept going on about my mums green elbows and was always told to stop it. This morning I noticed that she does actually have green elbows and they should be stopped

Yout Mother may be turning into a ninja turtle, seek help

Too much gardening maybe?

LynetteScavo · 20/10/2015 21:44

I'm sure you're mum can look in a mirror and see her elbows are green for herself.

Is she auditioning for a role as Wicked Witch of the West?

PuntasticUsername · 20/10/2015 21:46

Perhaps the elbows are horribly jealous of some other elbows?

Um, if there's not some obvious joke I'm missing, she might want to get that looked at by a Dr. Green isn't a colour associated with good things generally health wise.

icouldjusteatacroissant · 20/10/2015 21:50

Would you feel better if she dyed them pink?

MsRamone · 20/10/2015 21:50

Cornetto that's what I mean, why eould anyone have green elbows if they're not morphing into a ninja turtle and they're not a gardener?

does she have a new green jumper?

MsRamone · 20/10/2015 21:51

Well either way they need to be stopped

I agree ramone. I knew a man with green elbows. They weren't stopped and ended up taking over the whole town.

5Foot5 · 20/10/2015 21:54

Well given this is your Mum and not your DH I don't suppose she will disappear in to the garden for a willy off

paulapompom · 20/10/2015 21:54

How do you stop green elbows?

Pancakeflipper · 20/10/2015 21:56

Paint them orange. Or is that offensive too?

foxybingodotcom · 20/10/2015 21:58

It could be a fungus.

paulapompom · 20/10/2015 21:59

Does she swim a lot, that can cause green hair, sometimes... if you bleach your hair

EarlyNewDawn · 20/10/2015 22:00

Is she a lizard person? Are you royalty?

icouldjusteatacroissant · 20/10/2015 22:01

Popcorn anyone? We could be here a while

Bunbaker · 20/10/2015 22:01

What exactly do you mean by "stopping"?

To me to stop something means to cease doing something. Don't you mean that they need a good scrub?

Pancakeflipper · 20/10/2015 22:01

Pond dipping... does she go pond dipping with her elbows?

Hoppinggreen · 20/10/2015 22:02

You know she can't lick them don't you?

HarlettOScara · 20/10/2015 22:03

Tyrannosaurus Rex had green elbows and look what happened to them. A cautionary tale of ever there was one.
