A friend of mine once said to me

'How do i teach my child that people who shop in morissons are dirty?'

She also said she once invited a friend of her ds1 over to play because she thought 'it would be good for him to have a black friend'
Then when she realised this woman lived in a council house she didnt want to meet up with her again.

I think she may have lost the plot

This is absolutely true by the way, I know it seems completely ludicrous. Anyone else had any similar comments made to them?

Threw her engagement ring out of the car window and lost it. Then wondered why her dh didnt speak to her for a week

Ellbell, Blacker Hall? It's my local shop, 2 mins from my house (in a not so lentil friendly car) - I match you in the lentil weaving!!!
Kimi, prob best if he keeps to hiding behind the eggs - you are best out of it. Poor, silly woman.

This world is made up of all sorts.

princessmel · 20/03/2007 14:22

This is funny!! She sounds mad and not a nice person.

'Penisy hands' is great though!!

A lady at ds's nursery said something awful too, when talking about a boy in the class with sn. 'My dd doesn't want to sit with him she doesn't get on with people like that'. What chance do the children have if the parents have attitudes like this?.

Thing i noticed about her was that when she was talking to me about things she was completely honest about everything, but if other people came round she suddenly became a different person. Not sure which person she really is. I bet she hasnt said those things to anyone else though.
What i dont understand is why she would want her child to have these prejudices instilled in him.
Also long before she became a wife and a mummy she was involved with all sorts of unsavoury people so she should be the last person to judge.

Yep, she sounds off her rocker.
rofl at penissy hands...

A+ for use of English - as good as the cat's 'bottomy tongue' a few months ago.

Ellbell · 20/03/2007 15:17

Tee hee... have probably seen you in there, Gingermonkey. (I'll be the one with the out-of-control dds trying to put rock buns in my basket without me noticing! And my dd was heard to exclaim loudly in the butchery section 'Ugh, look mummy... a cow's bum!')

Gingermonkey · 20/03/2007 15:19

And I am the one with a gingermonkey (17mths) trying to escape and a moody looking dd (nearly 8) moaning about why we do have to go to the farm shop after school and why can't we have a chocolate cake and why is there a queue and I'm thirsty and Leo is throwing eggs on the floor mummy, stop him and me screaming and having a nervous breakdown. See you there then!

Ellbell · 20/03/2007 15:22

If I see you, I'll identify myself by.. errr... mentioning 'penissy hands' or saying 'fanjo' or asking 'UCM, is that you?' and we can have a nervous breakdown together. (Is it EVER not busy in there?)

Gingermonkey · 20/03/2007 15:26

When it first opens on a wednesday or thursday it's usually quiet. Tuesdays are busy all day (because of being closed monday) and fris and sats are silly. Lunchtime is best avoided as is just after school, which is when I go (sily moo that I am) and so does every other mum in the area!

Ellbell · 20/03/2007 15:33

Hmmm... can only go on Friday or Saturday normally, as I am working the rest of the time. (Honest... I am working now! Except I just fell asleep with my head on the essay I was marking.)

Gingermonkey · 20/03/2007 15:34

Hmmm, marking an essay - a teacher eh? That's not work

Ellbell · 20/03/2007 15:36

[offended emoticon]

Gingermonkey · 20/03/2007 15:42

What school are you at (so I can make sure both of mine don't go there because the teachers are busy on mumsnet !!!!). There's another teacher in our area that skives and posts when she's supposed to be 'working'. She'll be lurking about round here somewhere

Gingermonkey · 20/03/2007 15:45

'which' school, sorry miss

MadameWeb · 20/03/2007 15:51

forrest hump and foreskin gump,

this is the funniest thread in ages,

on a serious note - drop the 'friend' - seriously twiztid bitch.

sarahhal · 20/03/2007 15:59

Oy Ginger, I heared that!!! This having a lap top lark is fab - mumsnet in my classroom!!!

Ellbell · 20/03/2007 15:59

It's OK, I'm not a 'real' teacher (your kids are safe... LOL!). I work in Higher Education (i.e. I'm a lecturer) and we've finished teaching now for Easter (though I really HAVE to finish these essays... aaargh!). I was ill last week, but battled on regardless, as it was the last week, and now I'm really regretting it because I feel like a limp rag! (Dh puts this down to my 'soft southern' genes... haven't been living in Yorkshire long enough! )

sarahhal · 20/03/2007 16:00

She can't spell either

sarahhal · 20/03/2007 16:00

Califrau, I think it's a wiki, obviously you need to join it, and rectify that error.

LMAO
