Bit of Christmas Fun

[maryclare]

OK, AIBU has had some harrowing topics this year, so I think it's time us Mumsnetters (elves) had a break and some fun.
AIBU to ask you what's the daftest question you've been asked?
I'll start you off. Watching TV with DC and was asked, "Did xxx actor make this film before he died?"

Twins again here - both make but fraternal and very different - so many people ask how do i tell them apart! Last night my mum asked how do i know which one was speaking in a different room - am I the only one who can hear they sound different?

The chicken question on page 1 sounds quite sensible actually.

We breed chickens and we eat chickens but we breed cows and pigs but eat beef and pork.

I have a twin brother. Very regularly asked are we identical.

Love this thread
Little monks and nuns :o

5yo watching other children playing pin the tail on the donkey:

"Why are they all putting it in the wrong place?"

To be fair, he hadn't played it before, but it made everyone laugh! He soon found out when it was his turn next and he couldn't see anything.

At work - What date is Christmas this year?
Not a question as such but watching walking with dinosaurs a few years ago, I (to my embarassment) said to husband "I wonder how the camera crew kept themselve safe"

I was round at dh's nans helping her clear out her understairs cupboard.

I pulled out a painting of Jesus (one of those really real looking ones) and asked where this was from (she isn't religious, and is in fact quite anti-religion).

She says 'ooh Im not sure. D' ya think its a photograph?'

Pushing my daughter and my niece in the pram,
Lady: ooh, how old are they?
Me: 8 months and 6 months
Lady: are they twins?
Me: no....
Lady: are they both yours?
Me:

I was there when a colleague did the 'are they identical' thing, about triplets. The reply of 'it's two boys and a girl' apparently didn't answer the question.

(ps on the 1st Dec there are 24 days till Xmas)

I once asked how long the Paris marathon is

My ex years ago was shocked to find that horses eat grass. He said he thought they were just sniffing the ground!

I've had to explain to a friend that you cannot get identical twins where one is a boy and one is a girl, she couldn't get her head round it at all!

DP asked what day of the week Easter Sunday would be...

A friend also asked if my DB and I are identical twins because we look so alike. Not only is he a man and I'm a woman but he's 10 years older than me!

My Gran! Asking the woman at a cake stand about a cupcake she had her eye on.

Gran "is it very lemony?"

Girl "it's the lemonist one we do"

Gran leans in silently closer to the hit raises her eyebrows and goes "lemony lemony"

Leaving the girl and me to exchange weird looks. Bloody woman! Sorry not a just a question but needs the full story.

Sniffing the grass :o

normally intelligent DD1 - listening to the song Havana in the car 'Havana...isn't that where vikings go when they die'

My own, watching The Martian. In fairness, I clocked the stupidity in time to stop myself asking the question out loud.

Is this based on a true story?
