Whats the best quote you have heard from a parent in passing?

[Backtoreality1]

Had a lovely one yesterday....family were in their back garden but mum could be heard from the front in total exasperation saying ' xxxx, you are getting on my last nerve today'. Wasn't said with aggression just a clear voice with the tone of someone who was getting so tired. I wanted to go and give her a hug and I have never met her!

Bus journey, a new reader or had just learned that pub names have meanings, aged about 5/6.

'Mummy, why's that one called the Cricketers?' 'Because there's a place where they play cricket nearby' 'Mummy, what's the one round the corner called? Why -' 'Because it is by the old post office and train station'

This went on for ages until stuck in traffic. Mummy was beginning to sound a little tired.

'Mummy, that one says the something Eagle'. 'That's right'

'Mummy, why's that one called the Ship?' 'Because they like pirates, I think'

'THE GREEN DRAGON. Does a dragon live there? Is that why they've called it that?'

'Well, there's a painting of a green dragon downstairs, so maybe'

'Black. Sheep. Mummy, why -'

'I suppose they've got to feed the Green Dragon somehow'.

Felyne - sorry, only just seen your comment! Not Surrey, would have been Cambridge.

@vampirethriller love this one

I live in quite a multicultural area of Dublin so hearing people speaking different languages is not unusual. i'm quite good at identifying what language it is..
One day I was in the playground with my kids and heard a mother speaking to her child in a language I didn't recognise at all.
Eventually I realised it was Irish. LOL So much for learning it in school for 14 years
