Tell me my teens aren't the only ones lol

[Srepmum1984]

I am growing more and more gobsmacked with my teenagers common sense and I wanted to hear some other funny stories.

This week alone, son has toasted bread with butter already on it because he couldn't be bothered to wait and it smelt like the house was on fire.

Was feeling ill, so made him a Lemsip. He poured it (literally) straight into his mouth then screeched he didn't realise it was hot. He watched me make it from the kettle.

Today he is working with me over his college half term in the office for some extra cash. Blew his nose, then proceeded to try and open my free standing air conditioner fin part as he thought ' I had a fancy Japanese bin'

Please tell me I am not alone😂😂😂

Miele Twindos does it with liquid detergent.

Love it! My daughter would have done that. Even though she’s now 26 I have to phrase things carefully if there’s more than one step involved in what I’m asking her to do 🤣

Just because they didn't tell you it doesn't mean it didn't happen!

On the Berocca subject, I fell foul of them in 2010. I was on a project in Aberdeen and had a horrible cold, a colleague said that there were some Berocca tablets in a drawer, they'd been there for ages, why didn't I take one...

I put it in my mouth, chewed and foamed at the mouth. As I was reluctant to spit it on the floor, I also foamed at the nose and my eyes watered.

I assumed that I looked like Cujo, as someone gave me a cup of water, with people looking on in horrified amusemamusement. Someone asked, "Why didn't put it in a glass of water?"

Well, I'd heard of it, but didn't know what it was, or that that's what you're meant to do with the bloody things! I was advised to take a tablet...

My DS loves Tuna Pasta Bake made with the Colman's sachet of seasoning mix that you add milk to. When he first left home he told me he'd made it, but it didn't taste quite the same as mine. I asked him what he'd done and he said 'well first I mixed the tuna with the mayo and salad cream, like you told me....'

I said 'What? Why? Did it say add mayo and salad cream on the packet instructions?'

He said 'No, but you showed me to mix tuna with a bit of mayo and salad cream for sandwiches, so I thought that's what you needed to do to tinned tuna before you used it. So I did that first before adding it to the pasta and the sauce mix.'

Totally not the point but I bloody love those pasta baked too and had completely forgotten about them! I now know what my dinner will be tomorrow

Numpty here managed to get a spray bottle caught in the foot pedal at the gym today.

My 15 year old son was helping me power wash the patio. He decided to find out what would happen if he aimed it at his bare foot. It took all the skin off the top of his foot.
The same child was asked to empty the kitchen bin into the wheelie bin. Sometime later I couldn't find the kitchen bin. It was on the ground outside next to the wheelie bin. Apparently I hadn't specified that I needed him to bring the bin back inside.

To be fair to your teen last time I pressure washed the patio I decided to wash the mud off my crocs I was wearing at the same time - it hurt

My bloody builder did this too and I was livid as it was only a few weeks old at the time. His wife has OCD and hoovers the whole house daily and there’s no way he’d have done something that stupid at home as she’d have killed him. 😂

However, I’m still using it 10yrs later even though it’s still white on the inside of the lid and where the bag goes. Thankfully, it still does a better job than the Dyson I owned before that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

‘Are you sure you have brushed your teeth, your breath doesn’t smell of toothpaste?’
Six year old ‘You didn’t say use toothpaste!’
When I look after her DC I always add, ‘with toothpaste’
