I pretend posh Chocolate is spicy.

Battybonkers · 06/02/2022 22:55

I also hide the nice crisps behind the broccoli

notacooldad · 06/02/2022 22:55

Chocolate gets hidden in the veg rack!

People sneak into my room in he middle of the night, climb into my bed and fall asleep on top of my head...and I don't notice till morning.

I've had to get to grips with pronouns

I cleaned shit off another persons hands today.

Intentionally covered hands.

I quit.

Yesterday I found myself trying to stick a banana back together - it seemed like I should at least try given that it was soooo important that the banana should no longer be broken.

I spend at least an hour a day hovering outside the toilet door in case I’m needed, and telling the occupant I’m there to wipe their bum when they’re ready. Admittedly this could just be a niche hobby, so the other clue I shall give after being asked approximately 2 billion times already, the answer to the question ‘why?’ is because I said so.

Thewindwhispers · 06/02/2022 23:03

I stay up late every night even though I’m tired because it is so lovely and quiet.

Sister finger, sister finger, where are yoooou?

Shergill15 · 06/02/2022 23:05

I also do not talk about Bruno on a daily basis and have an assortment of indoor rocks and dead flowers. There are stuffed bears in my house whose clothes are nicer and more expensive than mine. And a hidden stash of nice chocolate in the salad drawer of the fridge

@Filthyslattern

I lay awake at night worrying whether a 22 year old ma i don't live with is safe and happy and getting enough sleep.
This is me too.

I can make a reasonable cover out of several small baby blankets

I just rushed through the supermarket as fast as possible and I didn’t dare go down the middle aisle in case there were exciting toys there. Wine though. I bought wine.

Mogwig · 06/02/2022 23:14

I have the best weekend lined up. Building Playmobil stables and playing with it. I've always wanted it ...

That's true, isn't it?!: )

If I have to brake in the car I throw out my left arm to protect my passenger, any passenger of any age 😂

I buy garments in miniature that cost a fortune and I never wear

My toothpaste tube never has the lid put back on.

My neighbour hurtles down out street at 15mph and I want to call 101.

There is a sticky dinosaur on our 15 foot ceiling.
