Tell me about funny games you play in your family that would make very little sense to anyone else

[FrannyandZooey]

Ds and I have a game about pirates where I am called Bluebeard and he is called "Jogfus"

It basically involves talking in bad pirate voices and saying "Ahaaaaargh, treasure!" an awful lot.

He also likes to be a black labrador called Sarah

tmi franny, tmi

This is ds Tutter not dp

She said dS, Tutter, not dP.
dd2 and my dh have a running game where they argue about which of them is the Daddy Whale that day.
Dh "I'm the daddy whale"
dd2 "No, me daddy whale"
Dh "No I'm the daddy whale" ad infinitum.
(Dd2 is 2y2mo)

oh

sorry

ROFL did you really think that my dp likes to pretend to be a black labrador called Sarah? And that if he did that I would tell MN about it?

Obviously the daddy whale story is much less fascinating than the prospect of MrFranny being a black lab called Sarah. Woof! or Arf!

you know what

even though it's about your ds and i know that now

i'm always going to think that it was about your dp

do you know what i mean - that's in my mind now and there'slittle i can do to remove it completely

my 7-month old DD has a wooden frog on a spring that hangs on the wall in her room Whenever we walk by the door, she points inside the room at the frog and I say "Oh, shall we go and see what Mr Froggy has to say about it?" We stand in front of him, she pulls on him, he bounces and I bounce, saying "DOING, DOING, DOING" very loudly and she cackles and grips onto my shoulder.

dd1 and I try to spot yellow cars before each other

I have told dp everyone on here now thinks he likes to pretend to be a black labrador called Sarah

whaddaya know he is delighted

Stargazing well done for recovering thread from Frannny dp liking to be a black labrador called Sarah

Franny too many connotations here i think ?

other people's ones are marvellous

ignore the strange pregnant lady and keep them coming

Interesting that no one has noticed my dh wants to be a daddy whale. Is it less interesting than 'SarahlabGate' because he is a nameless daddy whale? If he were to choose the moniker Rita would you all be pysl at hime then?

No no it is very good sassy

please elaborate so we can leave this unfortunate affair behind us

am desperately trying to think of one to redeem myself...

well, the black lab thing was playing on my mind way too much - especially as my name is Sarah.

So I had to tell my Froggy story.

We also play a game in the mirror where we pop up, see our reflections and then quickly duck down, with me whispering "shhh, shhh, don't let them know that we're here" Then we pop up, make a startled face, duck down again, say shhh, shh etc - and so on. She loves it. All this up and down stuff is hell on the knees though, esp with an 18-pounder on yer hip.

Wann hear about the games DH and I play????

No,that's it Franny. Just what I said before.
Does (dp)Sarah like sniffing crotches? Often a feature of labs I have found.
Not a feature of Sarahs I may add. (I am one)

it;s not THAT out there that your dh wants to be the daddy whale (esp when you consider that there is such a thing as sperm whale, ho ho ho) but it is quite interseting that your dd wants to be the daddy whale, rather than the mummy or whatever
Either way it's a dead cute sounding game!

my dh (and yes, i note that this has veered somewhat from the OP) likes to pretend to be The Big Dog, saying 'The Big Dog is coming' and DD runs around panting and throwing herself at the furniture Where She Is Safe. Eventually she tires and lies down on the floor to be ravaged by said Big Dog. they both seem to love it. i am generally making the tea at this point.
kindest regards to both Sarah and Jogfus, BlueyandZooey.

DS2 has a game that involves him putting on his space boots(wellies in RL)climbing up onto the arm of the sofa, stretching up and making lots of dramatic grunting noises, leaping of the sofa and very carefully walking towards me cradling his arms and solemnly saying, 'my rescue your puhhty cah mummy'

I used to play a game with my brother where the harder I hit him, the softer he had to hit me. It would end in us both lying on the floor crying with laughter and him barely raising his little finger in my direction and me giving him a full on punch in the leg and because it still makes us laugh noe

pmsl at lact8 and her bro.

Fab game we played as kids..
me and my two sisters would all sit with backs to the radiator, elbows bent against it. One of us would sing "Dah... Dah....Daaaah...Dah.." then we'd all bang our elbows against the rad in the time of 2001, hearing it reverb through the house.
Then posl.
