to laugh my socks off at my DD1 and her orange hands......

[psychomum5]

.........she went shopping with DH last night, and managed to flutter her eyelashes at him and con persuade him into buying her some fake tan.

she decided tho to wack it on her legs herself, without listening to me and my advice, as the time I used fake tan was when I was a teen, and times (plus fake tans) have changed since then, and I am too old to understand.

thanks for that DD1, nice to be told I am old.

anyhoooooooooooooo

she has just come home from school, she has streaky legs, orange hands, and is a tad miffed that I am laughing very loudly at her.

I am not saying I told you so at all!

she has cheered my day up no end tho

Don't blame you. I hope that she's going to heed your advice now.

nah, she is 15, she will forget that I am right about some stuff by next week.

she bought some hair removing cream a month or so ago, I was right about that smelling like cats piss, she seems to have forgotten that advice too....

I remember that age and thinking I knew it all too lol

she is gonna glow at dancing.

making me even now

lol, aw poor thing. not only does she have to contend with the shame of the orange hands but also that you were right. I'm not really sat here chuckling.

I should take pics of the tano look shouldn;t I........prolong the proof of my rightness

tango

typos are so bad today

well, shes flounced off to dancing now, still miffed at me, laughing......

YABVU

not to have taken already!!!

Poor little love - orange AND your Mums right! (really trying hard not to laugh... not suceeding!)

not to have taken a photo already!

oooh yes, a photo would be a very good plan.

I'm afraid I would be laughing too.

Apparently, toothpaste gets it off your hands if you fancy helping her out.

I'd be tempted to leave it though [evil snigger]

does it really??

I won;t might inform her.

my youngest dd apperead with orange arm splodges - she had nipped into big sisters room and tryed some of the cream on her dressing table, rubbed a little here and there on her arm. Not knowing that it was fake tan cream and the following day wondering why she had orange slodges up her arm

@ splodges

My DH did this a while back, looking for moisturiser in the bathroom.

Except he had a wank.
Wasnt just his hands that were orange!! .

ROFL Betty. Is that true? Either way tis v funny.

Laughing at teenagers antics is our way of getting them back for all the sleepless nights when they were little!

Saying that, I ended up with streaks and orange hands first time I tried fake tan. I think I was about 32... My DH laughed like a drain of course.

hey psycho my dd has just done exactly the same.

Listened to my threats of orange steaky not evenly applied fake tan and moisturised and exfoliated well.

Came downstairs this morning showing me her bright orange palms.

Hilarious, (well I thought so, she wasn't laughing quite as much as me, )

@ bettys DH. did he think that he had some terrible disease first tho....

liaghen, they really don;t appreciate us laughing do they.

Yep, tis true. I was unable to speak for laughing for a very long time.

Now when he wants moisturiser (even just for his hands ) he double checks with me.
"Why is the bottle brown if its just moisturiser?" while eyeing me very suspiciously.

"Cos its cocoa butter dear, now let me go back to sleep!"

PMSL @ Betty's DH, perhaphs it's time he had his own moisturiser!!
