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!

just any cat Mimsy?

Poor Jared will never know the beauty of Stair Necessities or any other such wonderment that has been displayed on this thread.
For you, Jared

Jared I think you mean arse. An ass is a type of donkey.

Google homonym Fairenuff and educate yourself.

Wtf is up your ass Jared?!

This will out me but what the hell.

If we part in public he will grab me by the shoulders and say "we'll always have Paris" and then give me a full on snog. Him and my mother pretend he is her son and im a complete stranger, about once a week.

Eggs are called chicken embryos in this house. He has to moonwalk if there's a Prince song on TV.

I lost a bet and have to name our first born America (like the actress in ugly Betty)

I know what a homonym is but arse and ass are two different words which are pronounced differently and have different meanings, so not a homonym.

Arse has the 'ar' sound as in car. Ass has the 'a' sound as in cat.

I remember one time when dp and I used to throw kittens at burning buildings. that was funny

Maybe you should google donkey

Ok, bu-bye now.
starts skipping around Jared

It's the Stair necessities, the simple stair necessities, I'm hanging out with my funny Mumsnet friends (yeah man)

fair to be fair our US friends say ass instead of arse, so I don't get what you meant by that first comment

jared sorry but you've got the definition of homonym a little wrong, which is ironic given you're calling people simpletons.

Haha did you mean acronmyn?

(Hope you have enough left to read that one)

If we're on the sofa and one of us wants a kiss but can't be arsed to moved we kiss our finger tips and put it on the others lips, where it is kissed in return and put back on our own lips.

Fairenuff. V funny.

Jared, if you lack the faculties to see that it was just in fun and doesn't actually mean thank god and isn't a serious exclamation, but just a playful intro to my own contribution to the thread, then I'm terribly sorry for you of course, but that's really not my fault.

If I have wronged you in some way and you thought you'd make me boo hoo over anything you have to say, sorry to disappoint. But I'll pretend to give a flying fuck what you think about anything if you like. I'm kind like that.

However, you raise a good point and it is important to communicate clearly on a forum so in case there are others out there who think I actually thought I was really special and part of the only couple in the world who play about, I assure you that that is not true and I apologise for any confusion that sentence may have caused. Rest assured that I do not consider myself better than I ought to be.

Now, Jared, come back and froth away if it makes you happy. I will just point out that I won't read it cos I'm hiding the thread, but don't let that stop you. I am currently on a thread about whether or not we like our names if you want to come over and be unpleasant some more. I'll pretend to care, I promise.

yes jared, please hide the thread. keep spreading the joy though

I've thought of more:

If one of us leans out of the bed to get a phone charger etc the other one moans, 'why are you leaning a MILLION?' and if the leaning person doesn't immediately lean back in we shriek, 'The whistling gap! THE WHISTLING GAP!'

We watch Parks and Rec and dance to the credits, including a bit where we make the :DDDD Tom face at each other.

If we want a top up of we go, 'my cuuuuuup is brooooken' in pathetic tones.

If one of our mothers is annoying us blathering on the phone we play catch with the receiver while they bang on and on,unawares

don't hide the thread fenella!

that would be an outrage! mightybooshstyle

When I've made something really simple I'll put down the plate in front of him and narrate in the style of the woman narrator from Masterchef.
So I'll put a plate of beans on toast in front if him, look really nervous and say:
'YouBetterWerk has made a haricot bean compote, soaked in a vine tomato jus, served atop a bed of yeasted slices with butter glaze'
He then has to eat it like it's a Michelin starred meal and savouring every beautiful bite.

YouBetterWerk I'm going to steal that, my DH is obsessed with India Fisher

YouBetterWerk, we do the same!

Apatite has made hand caught sustainable sea bass lightly dusted with artisanal batter in heritage beer, atop a pea purée alongside seasonal root vegetables cooked sous vide and then flashed in balsamic vinegar from Modena.

Then DH will taste, frown and say "I can see where she's going, but it just wasn't worked has it?"

Dh and I have a fair few. We've been together since we were teenagers though, so most are very childish and still as funny

If either of us are in close proximity of the others nose, that nose must be bitten. Bonus points for double bite. We can go weeks without doing this, but it is never gets old.

When watching TV and they give multiple choice questions, we give the wrong answer all the time, even though we know the right one. Confuses the hell out of the DC who must think we are thick.

If DH goes to bed before me, he usually tries to jump out and frighten me if he isn't asleep when I come to bed. I've grown wise to this over the years and he gets all huffy if I catch him out.

Not now as all out DC are toilet trained, but when theyd done a poo, we'd yell "code brown"

I could bore you with more....
