no you're safe, I think my run of inventiveness gave out in the last post!

Slurwitch · 28/09/2008 02:24

oh yes, then it would turn kinky and bad. Not already. oh no. The comparisons of the three kings of nativty to porn queens is completely within bounds of acceptabilty, but shepherds that would be step too baaah.

When DS1 was about 3-and-a-half he found my diaphram and asked wht it was. It flashed across my mind to tell him that it was a trampoline for Action Man, but I decided that the truth was probably easier.

I said that I put it in the way to stop Daddy's sperm touching the egg when we did the special cuddle but didn't want a baby.

He didn't ask any follow-up questions and I imagined him going away with the idea that I held it out in front of my like a kind of sheild.

helenhismadwife · 29/09/2008 09:25

hope you dont have the in laws over for tea soon the special tea stirrer may be mentioned

daftpunk · 29/09/2008 09:28

omg, iv'e heard it all now...you would put something like that in the dishwasher??

squiffy · 29/09/2008 11:54

Your son thinks your rabbit is a tea stirrer? Next he'll be putting his boiled eggs in your mooncup.

MaryAnnSingleton · 29/09/2008 11:55

dishwasher ? eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

kiddiz · 29/09/2008 12:04

I left my diaphragm in the bathroom by mistake. I later discovered it carefully placed on the basin and full of water. It turned out that my ds had filled it with water to give our cat a drink! (elderly cat with kidney problems that often sat in the bathroom basin wanting water)

noonki · 29/09/2008 12:08

lol

my mum and her sister went to the park with some 'balloons' they had found in their mum's drawers

mu poor Nan was so embarrassed

and this was 1940's Poland!!!

kiddiz · 29/09/2008 12:09

This thread has made me laugh. When I first read the title I assumed you must be one of those people with a house rabbit. I wondered how it had got on the sideboard and then read on with shock that it had previously been in the dishwasher and that you normally kept it in a "special drawer".

noonki · 29/09/2008 12:10

oh and I just remembered my vibrator went off in a bag my Dad was carrying

He started to open the bag whilst I shouted 'leave it.it's my mobile I want to ignore it'
I think I would have died if he saw it

Dropdeadfred · 29/09/2008 12:13

DISHWASHER!!!!

that is so wrong in so may different ways [puke emoticon]

mamadiva · 29/09/2008 12:29

ROFL at this thread! Well it's certainly cheered my day up.

And again can you put them in the dishwsher? Can just see your DP and children happily going to unload the dishwasher and oh look what's in there... PMSL.

OrmIrian · 29/09/2008 12:32

dishwasher?

Can you do that? Interesting.

But no, yanbu, unless your DS is 15 and then you are kidding yourself

hifi · 29/09/2008 12:33

only just got it, doh.

Troutpout · 29/09/2008 12:45

i am loving the proximity of this thread to the aibu thread about obsessive cleaning.

Blondeshavemorefun · 29/09/2008 12:59

never put any of mine in DW - thought might now

i also have a special drawer,as does my BF, and we did say if anything ever happened to one of us, the other would go round and clear the drawer before parents etc would

When my mate was about 16, he and a friend were painting a friend of his mum's skirting green.

They got bored, started poking about in drawers and found a couple of battery operated objects similar to the ones described previously. Naturally, they started playing with them like tasers or light sabres...

Heard the car in the drive, rushed to put everything back in place, realised there was GREEN PAINT on them and they had no time to get it off. Put them back where they found them and tried to act normal...

Funnily enough, the woman NEVER SAID A WORD ABOUT IT .

lisalisa · 29/09/2008 14:25

I know a child called Aliyah - wonder if its same family.........
