The cute --weird-- rituals/jokes you do with your DP...

[YouBetterWerk]

Here are just a few of the personal little in jokes and rituals we have, but the more I think about it the less I think other couples have them!

1. Puffins. Obsessed with them. Don't know where it came from, but we have notepads, cards, nicknames, all surrounding these bloody Puffins.
   
2. 'Sunday Morning Face' - The blank excited stare, pushed right up against my face every Sunday morning.
   
3. 'Bobble Hat Song' - Every time we see someone with a bobble hat on, we sing a song. I would post the lyrics but it is copyright.
   
4. 'Stair Necessities' - Here we have a song we sing to the tune of 'Bare Necessities' every time I go up the stairs to bed. He will also change the lyrics to reflect what we've done that day, giving it that lovely personal touch.
   
   This is just a small example, there are dozens more. We are both grown adults.
   
   I asked my hairdresser about hers the other day and she looked at me like I was crazy and said 'Sometimes I guess we say goodbye in a funny way'
   
   Please reassure me it's not just us!

[OwEmGee]

Some of these are hilarious!

We have a song for each day of the weekend - so Friday morning he'll always wake me up by singing the god awful Rebecca Black song, Saturday is obvs Elton John, Sunday is U2, which then goes into an Alan Partridge skit about the Irish potato famine.

We often do a 'weelay' where one person needs a wee, then passes the baton to the next person who needs a wee.

I bite his arm every morning when I get out of bed

I grab his ankles every time he tries to walk upstairs and hang on til I get to the top

We can hold almost entire conversations based on a type of communication that sounds very similar to Minions talking

Every time I point out a woman with a massive pair of knockers "christ look at the size of them" he'll sigh and say "oh ok, if I have to"

I'm sure there's more....

[magimedi]

HoneyDragon - We still do pinch & punch, DH & I in the morning & to adult DS via email as he lives abroad! Have to get up really early, or go to bed v late, to get him!

[Quitelikely]

If something exciting happens we say to each other in a deep US accent

'This is a high five moment'

If it's something bad we say

'This is not a high five moment'



Reading it back makes it look very uncool!

OwEmGee HAHAHAHAA

[EmberElftree]

We have loads too lots of singing ones & lots of rapping ones to Snoop, BIG and stuff from when we were young like rap along changing the lyrics to fit to the Fresh Prince tune or salt n pepa etc.

We make up songs about the cats too their names pre-fixed by Mr/Mrs respectively to different top 40 toons "Mr Snuffles, Mr Snuffles he's the snuffliest snuffler that ever there was" etc.

We made up our own secret handshake and spent ages practising it at night and weekends. Also talk in various different accents and have many pet names for each other.

Sound like a aright pair of fannies but it brings us great joy

[ChrisQuean]

Loads. They usually involve bad 1980s and 90's song lyrics. Example:

"Have you got your keys, ChrisQuean?" Cue a joint rendition of "I've got the KEY. I've got the SECRET"

No one one can mention Rio Ferdinand without us singing in unison "His name is Rio and he plays for Engerrrland. Oh Rio Rio Rio, Rio Ferdinand" to the tune of a certain Duran Duran song.

We play our copyright The Airport Spotting Game when we fly away on holiday.

Every. Single. Time.

[ThinkIveBeenHacked]

We like to bellow "Morrrrrrdoooooooo" in a scottish accent from Brave every time we hear someone talk on the telly in a broad scottish accent

[MoJangled]

Every evening: the cat is DH's 'girlfriend' and I'm jealous. Can't watch TV unless the cat has taken possession and I've had a strop. We've even delayed starting watching films until she's woken up and hobbled over to his bit of the sofa.

We also have the mortal pinch punch attacks, which have gone below the belt now that DH has trained DS (4) to be his stealth advance troop and get me under the guise of a good morning cuddle.

If either of us does something, and the other thanks them, we say: 'I might as well, I've done everything else ' in a massive attack of martyrdom

[mouse26]

Whenever he gets back from the gym, he makes me feel whichever part of his body is pumped - sweaty mits (man tits in our house) [hmmm] So as payback, whenever I get back from a run I shout 'sweaty boob towel' and rub my sweaty boobs in his face

I also repeatedly call him 'Dave Darling!' with in American accent like the money supermarket advert.

Whenever one of us leaves for work we do a chest bump and the one still at home has to press themselves up to the back door window, the one outside then proceeds to mime twisting nipples or something else ridiculously silly.

If he disagrees with something I've said then he says 'you know nothing' and I add on 'Jon Snow'

Glad we're not the only weird ones

[EmberElftree]

We do the got the key got the secret one too ChrisQuean

[BeeRayKay]

Whenever see we see an ambulance/policecar/fire engine we always sing "Calling da police WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP" (from a goldie looking chain song? yes i am ashamed)

We "wowl" each other. Involves pulling your eyelid and bottom eyelid apart and looking like an owl (no idea why)

they're the two we do most often.

[firefly78]

ours are mostly from alan patridge.

[fackinell]

These are hilarious.
We love to stick a finger (through clothes) into the other's butt. Particularly in public places like on the escalator at tube stations or when the pokee's hands are full.

We also love to shout in supermarkets things like 'Darling, do you need another tube of anusol?' Or 'I noticed your were out of vagiclean, dear, shall I pick some up?'

We say 'mmmm' in a mock delighted voice of the other is eating something crunchy. This has been shortened from the original of, 'mmmmm that sounds delicious!!'

We make up elaborate stories about the cats, have numerous 'Me, myself and Irene,' quotes and any accent the other tries to do is always Argentinian.

[MrsHathaway]

If you've nearly finished, or are enquiring if the other has nearly finished, the correct terminology is "my knees hurt" and "how are your knees?" respectively. This is a reference to The Office Series Two.

[HappyHippyChick]

This thread is awesome!

[FuckingLiability]

I am properly laughing at this thread.

Most of ours are too outing but one of our favourites is to talk very earnestly in front of other people about the zombie apocalypse and how we would defend ourselves. We also have an ongoing joke about chickens.

[Rosieliveson]

These are fun
We have loads too. One being that if one of us is nude, the other sings the Benny Hill theme and has to chase the naked person to smack their bottom.
We are strange

[Cocolepew]

If we make each other jump or didnt realise one of us had walked in the room we say" oh you should have worn squeaky shoes! " in a posh lady's voice. It was a line in some old film DH watched once.

[Unescorted]

1st of the month happens here too, with hits with sticks for being so quick and slap on the eye for being so sly. The end of the month is a bloodbath if I lose the 1st of the month....

Me: Bluebells - look bluebells. No looooooook BLUEbells.
Him: No they are daffodils.
Me: are you sure....?
Him: yes bluebells are well blue

He tickles my knees when it is not appropriate - funerals, weddings, parents evenings.

Food has odd names - compost & worms, fried lice, deep fried spiders, fried skin, slug slime, moo juice

[WestEast]

We regularly change into a very bad Russian accent and have pretty bog standard conversations.
I got the key , I got the secret.
We hide from each other, jump out, making the other shit themselves. My favourite it to hide behind the bathroom door whilst DP is brushing his teeth (electric toothbrush blocks out noise of footsteps) and wait in the dark for him.
We chest bump our achievements. Delicious dinner? That deserves a chest bump.

[DonkeysJanet]

We have lots of ongoing competitions - who gets the last squeeze of toothpaste out of the tube, who spots an EasyBus first (i called one when we were passing a bus stop, after a run, with headphones still in - it came out a bit loud).

We sing lots of songs, sometimes we make up our own tunes (not very well) mainly, we sing along to songs and TV themes. Our songs can get a bit sweary.

We play, "Whoops there go my jammies" in the morning and often discuss how successful it would be as a stage show and how it could be staged (old fashioned British farce, but lots of different genres appear).

I feel at home here. DH says it's a sign of intelligence to make up games and songs, obviously, I called him a stupid poo head.

[WestEast]

Oh god, we play mini golf competitively. It's not a joke, it's serious. We even have a cup, it's plastic and is the WestEast and DP Cup 2015. It's currently 5-4 to me.

[stardusty5]

We like to pretend argue about things such as how disgusting the cup of tea he made me is, or how smelly I am, or how we are ruining the ambience of the room by just breathing the shared air.

The dog has an attention seeking voice of a four year old with a lisp and likes telling us that he is a good boy.

We pull angry faces to "think hate at" each other or nice faces to "think love at" each other

[YouBetterWerk]

This thread has made it into the dizzying heights of the MN Facebook Page!

Polishes Halo

[overthehillabit]

Every theme tune has sung.

Wee is called 'piggly wiggly' as in 'I'm going for a piggly wiggly'.

We're always pretending to be asleep to each other, then the conversation has to go like this;
Me pretending to be asleep
DH whispers: Are you asleep
Me whispers: Yes
DH whispers: Are you awake
Me whispers: No

When one of us is on the phone, the other one pretends to die or get injured on the floor in horrendous ways. Yesterday when I was on the phone to BT DH shoved his balls in the vacuum cleaner (not on or plugged in) and pretended it sucked them off by tucking all the junk between his legs.

There are lots more but they're so normal to us now that I can't really think of any...
