I have no more left after this lot. I will have to find something new. I have a feeling I've used some of these before. No matter.
Poor old pouffe who self immolated.
Don't I know this one.
I am sure I've used this one before. I think it is quite funny.
Oh that I had such a wise mother.
I downloaded this in December 2021. Amazing.

Do you have a cat who would look so cross?

They did indeed do such things. They are now dead. Tell you anything?

Who's he?

This is perhaps my favourite.

Thanks for the much needed smiles. My mother did indeed teach me all of those things. Without exception.
ReplyDeleteEC, your mother was so much better than mine.
DeleteI can relate to several of these! Thanks for the giggle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Caro.
Delete"Kids check "you" spelling" haha
ReplyDeleteWell done River. You picked up my deliberate spelling error for the spelling post 😉
DeleteWith the I before E rule, even Albert Einstein got it wrong TWICE. I particularly like the ;fat tattooed lady' one; never was a truer word written.
ReplyDeleteCro, to fail once is forgivable, to fail twice is not. A few such ladies around Brighton?
DeleteAnd how!!!
DeleteThey are funny and a good find Andrew. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteCheers Margaret.
DeleteAlways plan ahead :)
ReplyDeleteToo true Hels.
DeleteI thought it was only Irish mothers who gave that advice -
ReplyDeletecome over our way if you want to see ‘fat tattooed ladies’ - we seem to have an abundance of them.
Cathy, I'll visit if only if they are wearing track suit pants in public.
DeleteA great selection! I love the "old pouffe" and the things mothers say.
ReplyDeleteSteve, the old pouffe is funny and probably made up.
DeleteThese are so good, and your comments make them even better. My favourites are the first and the last. As for the garbage man earnings, in the 1980s the employees who swept the floor at the Michelin plants here earned about double what any other similarly employed person could earn in Nova Scotia. And that was without any student loans to repay because the job required only high school graduation. And it was, I believe, without the benefit of a union. I'm not sure where garbage collectors land on the scale, then or now.
ReplyDeleteJenny, the floor sweeper seems to be a real anomaly, especially without a union. I am not sure that garbage collectors generally earn much money.
DeleteThanks for the laughs and groans.
ReplyDeleteA few groans there Pat. Thanks.
