To tell my mum the truth about her elbows?

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

I agree, they must be stopped. Green elbows have been a scourge on our society for too long already.

I've just checked mine for signs of greenosity but all seems well. They'll get my elbows green when they pry them from my arms and paint them.

And I am so convinced of that fact I posted it 4 times Grin

I have brown elbows.

HannahHobbins · 20/10/2015 22:09

I have brown elbows. (Only elbows)

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 20/10/2015 22:09

What shade of green? Is it a reflective, glow in the dark green?

If so maybe they are safety elbows.

Yours are probably in the post.

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 20/10/2015 22:09

Oops sorry folks

Jackie0 · 20/10/2015 22:09

HannahHobbins · 20/10/2015 22:10

Oh bollocks hearts it's catching! double posts not brown elbows

Jackie0 · 20/10/2015 22:10

HannahHobbins · 20/10/2015 22:12

Hahahahaha! Jackieo

Red neutralises green. You and your sister will have to sneak up on your mother and rub her elbows with red hair dye.

Moln · 20/10/2015 22:13

Maybe she's a frog? Tell her to avoid France it's dangerous there for frogs, mostly their legs but I wouldn't risk the elbows.

If I had a pound for every time I've had to rub hair dye on other people's elbows, I'd have £4.50.

It's not funny, my sister has been slapping and prodding my mum for months and my mum has been shouting at her and getting angry. I'm always stuck in the middle, especially now that I've had to acknowledge the greenness.

But don't let her wear a red jumper cos red and green should never be seen.

YakTriangle · 20/10/2015 22:18

Why has your sister been slapping and prodding your mum for having green elbows though? Does she think the green might fall off?

HannahHobbins · 20/10/2015 22:19

This thread has made me laugh loads Grin

winewolfhowls · 20/10/2015 22:20

Maybe they are green because she has been in de-nile with the crocodiles.

How green are we talking about here?
