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

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

No he doesn't sniff crotches

he bounds around rather appealingly and wags his tail so it thumps on the floor. And lies down and says "Sarah wants to be patted". And has a basket made out of an old vegetable crate which he curls up in

It can be embarrassing as he likes to start the game by announcing happily "Sarah's here!" at which point any friends you are with look round to see who has just arrived. And I have to explain no, Sarah is ds in dog form

Stargazing · 30/03/2007 22:23

it must be a cat, no? from a tree, like a fireman? hence the climbing and reaching?

anyway I noticed no one took me up on my offer to tell about the games dh and I play ...

AitchTwoOh · 30/03/2007 22:24

Do you ever get the feeling you just started your thread on The Wrong Day at The Wrong Time for The Wrong Crowd?

Aitch and LOL!

It is my imaginary pussy cat that he rescues not dead bodies

Will spend the rest of the evening chuckling about that

Lact8 · 30/03/2007 22:41

And I love the SuperRogers one too.

We are called Roger and we are heroic

mrspink27 · 30/03/2007 22:41

Trinity - we play yellow car to!

Also at bed time we always shout "last one upstairs smells of poo!" Cue big scramble for the stairs to the bathroom, while DH follows behind with milk etc. Then huge fits of giggles and shouts of "Daddy smells of poo!" in a sing song way....

And if either of the DDs trump.. DH always pretends to dial the bottom doctor... resulting in more raucous laughter.

Just reading that makes our lives look like we exist for toilet humour alone....!

chirpygirl · 30/03/2007 22:49

DD hides in the porchway and pushes the door open while I hide behind it, I boo, she screams and crawls off, then slowly peeks round again and starts it all off again.

DH and I have played Hawk-shoe since school together - it comes from the snoring noise you make when you are pretending you are asleep and you have to name a bird and a type of footwear to carry on until you can't think of one...so hawk-shoe, eagle-slipper, penguin-stiletto

I need to get out more.

The only game I can remember playing is crawling after a crawler, who slowed down so that I could grab one of their feet and then pull them, giggling helplessly, back towards me (and pretend to eat them, probably, who knows ) - did that with all of them IIRC

Lact8 · 30/03/2007 22:57

LOL

But he's got the idea in his nead now hasn't he?

AitchTwoOh · 30/03/2007 22:58

cod may, just may, be commenting on the fact that your young son says 'sarah's here!' and then pretends to be a black labrador for the duration.

Ah.

Well you may have a point there Cod.

AitchTwoOh · 30/03/2007 23:01

littleEasterlapin · 30/03/2007 23:04

LOL, I love this thread and sorry, Franny, but I read it as DP as well... and I was visualising the pirate thing, and wondering if you, er, dress up and everything...
