Conversation with my lovely dinosaur of a father for anyone that needs a laugh tonight

[PoppyField29]

My dad: "Got a boyfriend yet then love?"
Me: "No Dad, still single"
Dad: "Ah, it would be nice to see you with someone. Have you thought about joining Grindr?"
Me: "You do realise that is a hookup app for gay men, Dad?"
Dad: "Ah. Maybe not then"

Ahh he’s a sweetie, if somewhat uninformed on the online dating scene

I love your dad 😂

Your dad is awesome 😂

This really made me smile! And miss my Dad 💙

My wee Irish mammy (in her 80s) screamed loudly when she was in a London dept store, and turned round to find a lady in a full black burkha behind her.
The lady also screamed as my DM had scared the bloody life out of her.
Then the pair of them collapsed laughing and it ended in a hug.
(She doesn't get out much).

My Dad asked me if I used twitface

That’s adorable.

This is brilliant 😂 gave me a good giggle!!! So did @CousinDolores 😂

@Lonelykettleshed

Got to love an elderly parent that asks completely inappropriate it innocent questions. My favourite - do lesbians eat chocolate? He's deaf and so it was at full volume in a shop (anyone that knows me in RL now knows my username here as I dine out on this constantly).

ha ha

Op your dad is ace, but @serin that is the best thing I've read all day! I can just picture it, hilarious and heartwarming!

One cross examined an elderly woman who witnessed something or other. For some reasons she was obsessed with mentioning that she had to put her teeth in before looking out of the window.

Trouble is instead of just ‘dentures’ or ‘temporary’ she kept calling them ‘my Temperamental teeth’.

She must have said it 10 times. At one point I had to use the word in a question (think it was ‘his long did it take to put your temperamental teeth in?’ Everyone in court was desperately trying not to laugh. Judge pleading with wild eyed Look for menti cut my cross short.

Love these

My lovely Dad on a trip to France with us (many many moons ago), saw a sign that said Petrol ici

Ahh he said knowledgeably to the three dc on the back seat, its nice to see that ICI has made it to France. Cue much chortling on the back seat from the young dc who could read and speak french

Oh bless him!

I suspect he meant Tinder.

About 30 years ago we were on a family holiday to Jersey and took a half day trip to France (this was as much Forrin as either of my parents could tolerate). My dad was very much of the belief that the French language comprised middle aged Englishmen speaking English very slowly, extremely loudly, and with a faux French accent. We sat down in the cafe to order a round of cokes. Dad bellows at the bemused waiter: “FOUR COCKS PLEASE!”

I took my mum to Paris for a long weekend. She was in awe of how beautiful it was, and enjoyed people watching from cafe tables.

Mum said to me “these people are so clever, being able to speak fluent French”.

She was really chuffed when I said “maybe they think you’re really clever, speaking English”.

Oh, I do miss my Mum ❤️

My father used the word ‘gay’ in its original sense normally speaking very loudly. So a bright colourful flowerbed would be met with ‘what a gay garden!’ Or buying a suitcase in the shop he indicated a shelf of patterned ones and proclaimed them to be ‘very gay!’

That's cute.

I did meet my husband on eBay.

My mum was talking about a local dignitary who had been particularly supportive of the local scout troup. She described him as "very fond of boy scouts!"

She also asked "Is Russell Brand very sexy?"

My dad used to work near Wembley Stadium. Came home one night and said there was one of the bands I like playing there "can't remember their name - something about crushed melons". It was the Smashing Pumpkins 🤣🤣

He sounds like a darling dinosaur dad. My dad was lovely too but he died when was 10 but I'd like to think we'd be having a similar conversation to yours.

These are hilarious!

My adorable late father-in-law was in hospital whilst suffering from Alzheimers. My husband and I went to visit him and he said "Who's this lady you're with?" My husband said "That's pinesofrome - my wife, we've been together for 20 years". FIL said "You kept that quiet!". FIL had actually been living with us and DS (who he's very close to) for some time!!

When the Beckhams had their daughter Harper my DM said "it's one of those bisexual names". Unisex Mother, unisex.
The other day she text me that my Dad needed an anagram for his heart and was having a hospital appointment about his prostrate.
