To avoid my neighbour forever...

[iliketogallop]

Nc for this as I'm actually quite embarrassed.

The daily mail are a bunch of dingleberries.

Anyway...got a bit carried away playing in the garden with my 2 year old today and decided to literally gallop like a horse, whilst enthusiastically shouting "nayyyy""nayyyyy". Toddler is loving my horse impression which only spurred me on further to create an obstacle course for "horsey" me to complete.

I look up and my neighbour is in her upstairs window looking absolutely horrified and backed away slowly as our eyes met.

I can't ever cross paths with her again, can I?!

Never ever be embarrassed about playing with your kids - life is too short and they are only little for an even shorter time ♥️

I still pretend to eat my DC feet as they go up the stairs.

They are teenagers

I used to have the loveliest neighbours, & our DDs were the same age, so ended up as best friends constantly in & out of both houses for a few years. Their introduction to us was knocking on our back gate, hearing noises they assumed to be a 'come in!' only to find both DC & ExP wearing playtents over their heads and jousting with plastic golf clubs whilst I stood waving a piece of kitchen roll with a watering can on my head (we didn't have a proper floaty cone medieval lady hat, but did attach a pillowcase to the back of it).

They joined in immediately. I bloody loved those neighbours.

I should add, only sometimes, not every day.

My neighbour caught me catching baby frogs yesterday and making a bucket pond for them, and chasing my puppy round garden in my pants (I did have a top on) today as she was eating my shoe (the dog not my neighbour)
I’m confident he thinks I’m a bloody crazy nightmare.

My husband will give each of our pets their own “voice”. We had two dogs who often liked to mount each other as a dominance thing. One evening my DH saw the glint in one dog’s eye and called out loudly in the dog’s “voice” to the other dog “Brace yourself puppy, I’m about to board you and roger you senseless!!!” My DS arrived at our house at that point announcing that both she and my neighbours had just heard what was said. DH and I both tried to explain rather feebly what had happened but DS just looked at us weirdly. As for the neighbours, I just gave them a wide berth through sheer embarrassment.

I was waiting with a poo bag in hand for my dog to finish going to the toilet, I had earphones in, so didn’t hear the man slowly jogging past me right as I loudly said ‘good boy, are you doing a lovely big shit for mummy?’ 😩

Loving these especially the mush mush to the imaginary huskies, the singing to the guinea pig, and Op’s galloping

LOVE IT!! applauds

You probably brightened her day OP.

I've probably got loads of stories like yours but I have no sense of shame any more and have probably forgotten them anyway. Other people though - I was on the bus one morning when a lovely older lady sitting next to the pram space started singing loudly 'The wheels on the bus go round and rou ...' then noticed there was no pram, did a big double take, turned bright red and jumped off at the next stop. She normally has a grandchild or two with her and on the one day she was unaccompanied she must have gone into childcare mode without thinking.

Now I think there's something wrong with me, as I regularly trot in through the school gates riding imaginary unicorns with my DC, and not giving a flying fart...

I am sure I'll appear on a post here some day!!

Ds was 2 days old, and dp’s mates came around as I was breast feeding. His best friend is looking at ds whilst standing behind the sofa, and looking over my shoulder, commenting on how much he looks like dp, how much hair he has, how big his hands were and so on. Suddenly he goes ‘O shit, I didn’t register he has your boob in his mouth!’ And goes beetroot red, while the rest of us couldn’t stop laughing.

Wonderful ,iliketogallop. I can just picture you. Don't worry about your neighbour, they'll think they were hallucinating :-).

My cats get most upset with me if I sing to them so there are long discussions with them about how tuneless Mummy’s voice is and why can’t she purr beautifully like them. I was in the midst of a long conversation with them about this in the garden last weekend when my NDN called out to me they had a parcel for me. She sent her young son round with it, he looked terrified!

The daily mail are a bunch of dingleberries.

I work very hard at being a fun auntie and do stuff like this all the time to make my little nieces laugh - they can't wait to see what I'll come up with next when they next visit so Letthemysterybe, thank you for animal races!

Ha we have a story where my kids grandmother once looked out of the window on a bus and said loudly ‘ooooh look at the lovely moo-cows! Hello cows’ complete with a nice moo. Her son was not actually with her at the time!!

I’m a childminder and the one year old I was looking after was getting a bit tired and grumpy near home time. I picked her up and was dancing around my kitchen with her in my arms singing daft songs to her. Danced around in a circle and only then noticed her dad standing by the front door which is mostly glass watching me being daft

My house rabbits live in the dining room, which has doors which lead out to the garden.
One of the little boys next door once asked me "Kats, when you're talking in the garden, who are you talking to?"
So he's obviously heard me saying things like "No, you stay there" and "Mummy won't be long, darling..."

YoThePussy l sing to my rabbits! The female clearly isn't impressed as she once bit me while l was doing it.
