I made DS (14) watch it!

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 15/07/2010 14:29

HAHAHAHA! I have literally just fallen off my chair! I so need to make DS watch this, although apparently at 14 he doesn't do things like this and isn't remotely into girls!

MrsFlittersnoop · 15/07/2010 14:57

Saggy, my DS tells me the same story!

It may actually be true. We were waiting at the barbers last week, and the only reading material available was an old copy of Zoo magazine . DS was idly flicking through it and exclaimed "Wow! Cool! That's amazing!"

He completely ignored the mahoosive plastic norks on every page and was gazing adoringly at a full-page ad for the latest X-Box game.

This was just before the barber called me over for a discreet word and informed me the little darling has nits, but that's another tale...

Have laughed so much reading this thread!

Can't help worrying about friction burns though

Lemonylemon · 15/07/2010 15:09

Bashon My exH used to leave his on the bedside table for me to find/dispose of when I got home from work

JemAndEllie · 15/07/2010 15:29

have just read this hole thread and havent laughed so hard in a while!!! thanks MN

cant help but feel a little ill at the thought of his mum knitting that sock at what point did this thought enter her head. "oh my poor DS must have something to jerk off into... best get my knitting needles out!"

JemAndEllie · 15/07/2010 15:31

i meant mitten, not sock!! how dare i, they must be completly different!!

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 15/07/2010 15:48

My DP leaves the bits of tissue by the side of the bed. Okay in theory, but I frequently have to remove them from the dog who likes to eat random stuff, of clean it up after said dog has shredded it everywhere!

butterscotch · 15/07/2010 23:05

Pmsl at this thread thank god I have dd's never found any evidence from hubby but suspect he uses a towel to clean up the pits in wash!

loopyloops · 16/07/2010 12:31

Ummm am I being naive but I don't think DH does. Or does he? I've certainly found no evidence.

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 16/07/2010 17:00

Mmm, I think all men do it. It's just one of those things! Maybe he does it in the shower or bath?!

loopyloops · 16/07/2010 19:13

ewwww

IsSamNormansDad · 11/08/2011 16:44

bump.
was reading the 'knickers' thread in Chat and thought this deserved another airing. Grin

girlywhirly · 11/08/2011 17:23

Oh no, people will have to stop making advent calendars from kids mittens now. Imagine the embarrassment when Dec 24th is missing!

But this thread is so funny. You could have all sorts of designs, Christmas ones with jingle bells on, Valentines ones for the unattached who didn't get lucky, and so on.

HedleyLamarr · 11/08/2011 17:38

You were right. It's hilarious. Home knitted wank mitten! Grin

IsSamNormansDad · 11/08/2011 21:01

Hedley I know. Was practically choking reading it earlier while trying not to wake up DD.

MadameLupino · 11/08/2011 21:12

I also need to know what she used. Surely pure wool would felt after a while? And a polyester blend would bobble.
I think the Wank Nanas need to do some quality control testing. Perhaps a nice fleecey fabric?

aliceliddell · 11/08/2011 21:32

told dh about this. he wants to know how to keep the liver in the glass. I hate you all now.

MadameLupino · 11/08/2011 21:37

clingfilm.

joric · 11/08/2011 22:18

this looks suitable

PacificDogwood · 11/08/2011 22:21

I have 4 sons - oldest is 8: should I start knitting now??

Funniest thread in a long time, thanks for resurrecting Grin

MoominsAreScary · 11/08/2011 22:57

How did she broach the subject? Ds I'm sick of finding wanky tissues heres a lovely knitted wank mitt instead, leave it out at the end of the week for me to wash.

Was going to clean under ds1's (16) bed tomorrow ( awful lot of odd socks) but think I'll leave it now!

aliceliddell · 12/08/2011 12:59

Dh wittering on about gravity, angles etc. This mitteny livery madness has destroyed my marriage.

Blatherskite · 12/08/2011 18:40

I never asked him alice. I never felt the need.

I'm guessing you'd have to alter your 'angle of approach' or maybe fashion some sort of cling film lid with a handy access hold punched in?

knittedbreast · 12/08/2011 18:43

your friend would have loved me if he loved his knitted want mitten ;)
