My child has a badge that sees ghosts?

[PlomBear]

Lighthearted!

DS 4, has a badge he calls “birdie friend.” I may post a photo later! It’s a badge with a bird on.

Birdie Friend seems to have the gift of the “sight!” “Birdie Friend says Bob and Rose are here mummy, they like to have tea with us. Bob and Rose are DH’s grandparents who died many years ago.

“Birdie Friend says the men who lived upstairs looked like you mummy when their faces burned off.” We used to live in a former military hospital and I had a sheet mash on my face! The ward upstairs had indeed been a burns/plastics ward!

“Mummy, Birdie Friend says the end is coming soon.”

😂😱😨

Paidiwch Ffrindbyrdi !

@ffrindbyrdi!! 😲👀

Me thinks a second thread is needed op!
Have been following from day 1 and have been a bit spooked by BF and all his predictions.
Hope things stay calm for you

Well, looks like the end is nigh...

BF knows something we don't 😱 and has excellent taste in breakfast foods

Birdy thread II is definitely called for.

@PlomBear

“Mummy, Birdie Friend says he loves you.”

Yeah right he does. Birdie Friend saw what the submariner did to his mates so he's trying to butter you up now by saying he loves you and not mentioning your imminent death. He must think you were born yesterday.

This thread keeps luring me in although I’m kinda scared to read it

Our military quarters had cockroaches so count yourself lucky with the woodlice!
When I was little we had a basement in one of them and I used to see a figure under the stairs and the whole atmosphere of that basement was just off.
Used to live in another one that the whole estate freaked me out even the park felt deathy.
As an adult I went back and it still freaks me out.

@PlomBear I took a break from mumsnet for various reasons (mainly related to the snarking and occasional heightened levels of panic re: Covid-19 - not that I don't think it's potentially serious, I do, I'm just bemused as to how the mainstream media is handling the dratted thing) but I had to rejoin just to tell you how much I've enjoyed this thread.

This one and the "what stories do you remember from the Bunty (etc)" have cheered me up no end.

Next time we're near Newport-ish we just may have to pay a trip to that youth hostel and see if we too can find a Birdie Friend of our own....(though we have enough woo experiences without one, really...)

Please post another thread & keep us updated with BF & DS.

@PlomBear - just saw you on another thread and popped by to see the shenanigans.

Am slightly alarmed though... my DS (who can be creepy like all kids are) has told me a few times recently that this is my “last year” or “last day here”, and that I’ll die soon.

Like yours, my DS isn’t good with time, but in the current circumstances ...

Glad things have quietened down for you

Why isn’t this in classics?

Why isn’t this in classics?
Because the world is going to end in July. No point putting it into classics when there will be no-one around to read it in the future.

We need a new thread!! @PlomBear, please make one now on case of updates! Link here when you do

.
