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

Too much gardening maybe?

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?

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.

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.

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.
