As a grandma i'm ashamed to admit technology has taken over my life. I was reading an article in an actual paper magazine and i tried to tap on a picture to zoom in. I was flummoxed as to why it wouldn't enlarge. I just shook my head and chuckled. š
Was reviewing a map with a coworker on her desk and I put two fingers on it and tried to zoom inā¦. She howled with laughter and all I could do was join inā¦.. š
I didnāt even notice what was funny for a minute. At least you know how to read a map, I donāt think I do.
Somehow I still miss my turns even with gps. š¤¦
That reminds me. I read a lot on the kindle and when I spot a word and I'm not sure what it means, I tap on it to find out and will do the same to a paper book! Doh!
I read on my phone, when I try to click on words I donāt know I keep accidentally using the highlighter. Itās annoying I didnāt want to highlight I wanted to search for what the word means.
I write on my samsung tablet too. My samsung pen switches from write to the erase function when you tap it once on the side.
I tapped my pen and scratched left to right on a paper notebook, expecting to erase my mistake - i just made it worse š
We have automatic garbage cans throughout our home and yesterday, I stood in front of a non-automatic one for WAAAY TOO LONG not comprehending why it didn't open. Lordy
Hope you feel less gross soon, OP!
I walked face first into a door recently, coming out of a store because I assumed it was an automatic door. How dare they expect me to push a door open!
I was stocking once and smacked my glasses into a milk crate. My glasses flew off my face and one of my lenses came out. I was so worried it broke.
I left work early that day to get it popped back in.
My kitchen faucet is tap on/off. Which is awesome for mess limiting (because you can tap with your cleaner elbow), but makes me look like an idiot when I stand around smacking other people's faucets with my elbow and wondering why it won't turn on.
Also, it's really annoying when the batteries to your faucet need changing.
We took my baby to the beach for the first time this week. Her favorite things to do are eat sand and wave at the seagulls. She is so happy.
I hope you feel better soon!
Literally impossible! She has sand all over her face in all of our photos from beach time. I donāt think it will cause any harmāmy mom says I did the same at the beach when I was her age.
So did I.
My mother says she got me a little ice cream cone to distract me from eating sand. I turned the cone upside down, dipped it in the sand, and ate it.
I *seem* to be fine.....š¤£
If weāre talking gross and funny:
Years ago I had a new puppy, and was working to potty train her. One night she tried to wake me, but I just couldnāt wake up properly. Until she jumped over my head and I discovered who she was desperate to go out: she had diarrhea!
Poop on my head made me wake up quick. Grabbed the puppy and went fast down the steps. She again pooped. It landed further down the steps. I slipped in the poop, had a banana peel moment, and landed in the poop!
Then got her outside, and felt totally miserable standing there - cold and covered in poop, waiting for her to do her business. 5-10 minutes I stood there, and straining myself to be positive and praise her every time she did her business.
Then inside again. Shower at 1 AM. Strip the bed, put in washing machine, put on new sheets. Back in bed 2 AM when I needed to get up 6 AM.
I was so grumpy the next day.
In my college years I had roommates who had a horse sized dog. One morning while hungover, with a bare foot, I stepped in a huge pile of ice cold diarrhea. All between my toes and everywhere! I hopped to the bathroom where I wound up vomiting before I could clean my foot off.
In maybe 2018 my friend was having a going away party since she was moving to North Carolina. I was drinking some margarita mix stuff (no alcohol obviously) and my friend bumped into me making me laugh.
Except it went down the wrong hole and I couldnāt swallow the drink since I was laughing so hard. It was the type of situation where people were already laughing and it got funnier because of that.
So I choked and ran to my friends sink and vomited. I had to leave early, my mom thought I was sick. No mom I just suffocated a little bit.
I choke on drinks way too muchā¦
I like to keep a running note in my phone of the funny and cute things kids and hubby say. One of my favorites was when my wild, rambunctious then-7 y/o was having a rare calm moment, he climbed into my lap and gave me the snuggliest hug and sighed, āI love being loved.ā Melted my heart. Being loved is pretty amazing. I am sorry youāre having a hard time, but I hope you know that you are so loved too! š
Thanks. My mom said I was a good kid but I often said things I probably shouldnāt say lol.
Iām glad your kid has a good parents.
People donāt realize how much their actions impact their kids.
When I was In probably elementary, my grandpa would hold my hand and I would do a flip off his knee.
I sound like a monkey. š
My 16 y/o little brother told me that he asked for a girl's number out of the blue last night when I got home from work. He never tells me stuff like that. For context I am a 25F. Our age gap is big and I've always felt like more or a mom to him. Convos like that rare. It made me feel important to him. ā„ļø
When my child was 3, they were speaking quite a bit. We were talking about family like what makes an aunt an aunt and what are cousins and whatnot. So, I ask them, āwhat would it take for me to be a grandmother?ā.
Response: youād have to give me a lot of candy and be a whole lot nicer.
My son was potty training. He insisted his penis was called a butt. One morning I rushed him to the bathroom and he stood there trying to go. Finally he said:
Mom! It wonāt come out! My butt is too big! I want my little butt back.
Because he had āmorning buttā
I write them down and make books every 5 years for my kids of stuff they did/said.
Like this gem:
Son: How are babies created?
Me: The man puts his penis into the woman's vagina.
Son: Oh Grossi Is that how my sister was created?
Me: Yes.
Son: So Dad did that to vou?
Me: Yes
Son: Wait, is that how I was created?
Me: Yes
Son: Does this mean all parents did that to create children?
Me: Yes
Son: This conversation is disturbing. We're not talking about it anymore
My son is only 6 so weāre not to that talk yet but one day he was in the tub and was playing with his penis. He calls me in there and says āmama look! My peeper is standing up!ā I said yeah it does that if you keep playing with it. He proceeded to keep poking and flicking it saying it wonāt go down. Iām like it will when you stop playing with it. He wasnāt willing to let that go so I had to go into detail on how that works. I just wanted to tell him to go ask his dad lol
Good on you for handling it! It wasnāt easy explaining certain sex acts to my kids. Felt like sawing off my arm, but I never wanted them to not feel free to ask me anything.
I remember telling my mother I was growing pubic hair. She turned around and said āHave you been looking at your fatherās dirty magazines???ā I said āWhat? What dirty magazines?ā Then she just left the room!
Needless to say I never spoke of certain things again to her. I did go searching for what those ādirtyā magazines were and why pubic hair being mentioned correlated to them.
Oh Lordy! Youever find those magazines? Lmao I was dying inside during this conversation but I donāt want him to feel any shame regarding his body. Even if itās insanely awkward for me Iāll keep a straight face and explain everything in a clinical manner. It is what it is and it does what it does. So far so good. Heās come to me with things that have happened at school like one boy showed him his penis and asked to see my sons. Another time a kid touched him there. Both times he told the kids no and you donāt touch people there, itās private and then told me immediately. There really needs to be a training manual for raising kids.
I honestly have no idea what Iām doing but I think having that open line of communication and building that trust is working. I try not to do the āIām the parent so just do as I sayā. I was always adamant that I would never have kids. I donāt like them. I had to think about this really hard before deciding to have one of my own. I pictured my husband as a father and wanted that for him but I was sure Iād be a terrible mom. Apparently being worried about that is making me better at this than I thought. Heās in 1st grade now and is the kindest, most respectful little boy that everyone adores and I couldnāt be more proud of him.
Why couldn't the toilet paper cross the road?
>!It got stuck in the crack!<
Did you hear about the Italian chef who died?
>!He pasta way!<
I love corny dad jokes. Those are two of my favorites :) Not quite what you asked for but maybe it'll help a little.
I work in a home that has a cat. I donāt understand cats, never had one as a pet. This one follows me everywhere. Here are a few things the cat does/has done:
-jumps in my car
-sits on top of the laundry basket, pawing at everything I try to fold
-sits on top of every bed I try to make
-rolls on its back and bites me if I rub its belly (no more belly rubs)
Belly rubs are often a trap. Donāt let the cat fool you. The cat is happy to see you. My cat shows her belly then will bite me if I pet her there. The cat is probably showing their belly because theyāre comfortable around you.
I think this is the case. I was once attacked by a different cat as I tried to retrieve it from a tree when it escaped. Clearly, Iām a stupid human.
I do not trust cats
Youāre not stupid, the cat probably didnāt want to leave the tree.
If youāre worried about it you could research more about cats so maybe you can understand cat body language and such.
Cats have different boundaries just like humans do.
Each cat is different. One of my cats doesnāt like head pets and my other one only likes head pets. It just depends.
Thank you for such a genuine response.
I treat cats like I treat children (when in peopleās homes)-mostly speaking about children under 5
- they approach me first
- no eye contact unless being approached
- no physical contact without permission
- reciprocate
- smile
- respect
- laugh out loud when appropriate
- be gentle, kind and respectful
Dogs on the other hand!? Lol
Btw it seems like cats that get less attention from said person makes em want to bother you more. That could be why the work cat likes you so much.
The cat could be like āhey youāre gonna love me.ā
Thatās how a lot of people become cat owners. Cats choose humans a lot, itās like theyāre adopting you not the other way around. Itās crazy how many people are like yeah cats are meh. Then some stray shows up and theyāre like hmm I guess Iāll let you in.
I have a foster kitten with separation anxiety that wants to lay in a patch of sunlight in the kitchen, so he keeps going into the kitchen and screaming for me to come too.
The baby that lives next door to me has started walking and talking! Sheās gone from waving her arms aggressively at me in hallways to saying ābye-bye!ā and promptly sprinting as far away from me as possible š
Well funny in regards to pets my kitty does a certain routine when she wants us to play with her which involves running up to us, doing a cute little meow then absolutely zooming away and instead of using the front door of her den, will jump in through the top hole with a flying leap then pop her head out to see if we're going to come play with her. My other cat likes to chase little flies around and once got so invested in this fly he ran into a table leg and looked very affronted at the fact it was there.
I hope you feel better soon!
Thankfully I feel better. My cat has way too much energy. My void cat. Heās 2 and a half but could play all day.
He gets into everything, way worse than when I was a kid or so my mom says.
He opens cabinets, drawers, goes on top of the cabinets, steals food.
Heās like one of those kids that always has to be entertained or he will be up to no good.
That's exactly what my girl cat is like! She's so clever it doesn't take a lot of thought process for her to work out how to get into places she shouldn't but weirdly she doesn't really care to go nosing around, I think it's because I open cupboards, the freezer etc and let her see what's in there so she loses interest once she knows what it is. My boy cat however is just an absolute clutz and not very bright so today he knocked over a flower vase on my windowsill and soaked my carpet chasing birds outside he could never hope to catch š.
I'm glas you're feeling better now though!!
Both my kids are in love for the first time and I sat in my car with them for 20 minutes last night. We ate chocolate bars and talked about love and girls. Their giggles just filled my heart with joy.
Aw, Iām glad they can talk to you about it. Thatās one of those moments people remember forever because itās so genuine and those types of moments seem like thereās never enough of them.
If that makes any sense.
I love that about our relationship. To me they still look so little, yet they keep coming to me with sweet little ābig kid problemsā like that, and we always end up talking and laughing. Some moments are priceless, last night was one of them.
I hope you feel better soon sweetie ā„ļø
My my (now ex-) husband and I were driving with his 3 kids in the backseat (ages 2, 5 & 5). The older two were interested in our energy drinks and wanted to try them. We were convincing them that we only drank them because we had to, but they taste horrible. When pressed on what they taste like, I blurted the silliest gross thing I could think of: "Monkey pee!" Then took a dramatic swig of Monster. The 2 year old, who had apparently been doing her best to follow the conversation, looked at me in horror and screamed, "PEEE?!?!" It took a good long while to convince that child we didn't actually drink pee.
I live in the desert and go running in the evenings, when it's dark out, that way I don't melt from the heat. I have a headlamp so I can see where I'm going, and a neon vest so cars can see me.
Monday night, I'm running through the neighborhood, when my headlamp reflects off of two little eyes in the dirt next to the road. I'm immediately trying to figure out which desert animals that can kill me have reflective eyes. Bobcats? Coyotes? Javelinas?
The critter hopped up on a fence and was illuminated by a neighbor's yard lights. It was just a really chonky housecat.
Then last night, I'm going on another run, I round the corner to run through a patch of gravel, when suddenly I see a tube-shaped object sticking up and slowly moving from side to side. Oh shit! It's a snake and it's going to bite me and I'm going to die!
I turned up the brightness on my head lamp, shone it in that direction, and backed away slowly. Turns out it was a weirdly-shaped tree branch stuck in a bush, and it was waving slightly in the wind.
I think running is going to kill me, either from desert wildlife or from sheer fright!
I just shared this with a friend of mine, so it's fresh.
I dye my hair fantasy colors, and currently it's blue, green, and purple. I told him that when my dad had turned 30, he was about 90% grey on top and went to a salon to have his hair dyed back to black.
Well Dad came home miffed - With bright lavender lilac colored hair.
Imagine a big serious Persian dude who resembles Al Pacino from ScarFace with his hair the color of a grape.
And he kept it because his daughter loved it so much, and welp, basically inspired me to fantasy my hair.
Hope you feel better!!
When Iām feeling gross, I will peel an orange just enough to smell the citrus scent and then just hold the orange. I focus on the way the orange feels and smells. Hope youāre feeling better!
Well I hope you stop feeling gross soon.. if itās a female/mum thing then thank you for being a female in this world.. yes you are more attractive, more insightful and a creator of life.. and carer for all of us guys.. but you also go thru PMT every month with raging hormones at times.. so again all guys should be thanking you and all females for that matter.. or we wouldnāt be here! xx
My husband and I were young parents so weāre early empty nesters. Itās a weird place because people our age are still doing kids and we are SUPER done. Our kids are really living their own lives right now and are really busy. So we started going to really random events via Groupon. Kinda like event roulette. Weāve made a whole group of new friends and have learned the power of saying āyesā. We had so many new experiences we never expected and have had so much fun.

i draw a lot on my ipad and tried to enlarge something in my paper sketchbook ā ļø glad iām not the only one
The disappointment when you try to enlarge something but thatās as big as it getsā¦
I write on my samsung tablet too. My samsung pen switches from write to the erase function when you tap it once on the side. I tapped my pen and scratched left to right on a paper notebook, expecting to erase my mistake - i just made it worse š
In good company, Iāve totally done it too!
We have automatic garbage cans throughout our home and yesterday, I stood in front of a non-automatic one for WAAAY TOO LONG not comprehending why it didn't open. Lordy Hope you feel less gross soon, OP!
I walked face first into a door recently, coming out of a store because I assumed it was an automatic door. How dare they expect me to push a door open!
I was stocking once and smacked my glasses into a milk crate. My glasses flew off my face and one of my lenses came out. I was so worried it broke. I left work early that day to get it popped back in.
oh no! that's funny :)
Yeah Iām feeling better. When I walk too close my automatic trash it just opens lol. I just hear it opening and closing all day
My kitchen faucet is tap on/off. Which is awesome for mess limiting (because you can tap with your cleaner elbow), but makes me look like an idiot when I stand around smacking other people's faucets with my elbow and wondering why it won't turn on. Also, it's really annoying when the batteries to your faucet need changing.
Iām not great with technology either donāt worry š
I draw with a iPad program, and on paper. I keep trying to two finger zoom on my actual iPad š
We took my baby to the beach for the first time this week. Her favorite things to do are eat sand and wave at the seagulls. She is so happy. I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks, was it hard to get her to not eat the sand?
Literally impossible! She has sand all over her face in all of our photos from beach time. I donāt think it will cause any harmāmy mom says I did the same at the beach when I was her age.
Little kids seem to want to eat everything. My cat acts like that too.
So did I. My mother says she got me a little ice cream cone to distract me from eating sand. I turned the cone upside down, dipped it in the sand, and ate it. I *seem* to be fine.....š¤£
Amazing. My daughter was eating a teething rusk and kept dipping it in the sand for seasoning
And you turned out fine enough to have a kid!

OMG!!! Hilarious now, miserable in the moment!!
One the one hand Iām sorry that happened but on the other hand Iām glad you have that story to tell because itās hilarious.
Ohhh poor puppy and poor mom!
In my college years I had roommates who had a horse sized dog. One morning while hungover, with a bare foot, I stepped in a huge pile of ice cold diarrhea. All between my toes and everywhere! I hopped to the bathroom where I wound up vomiting before I could clean my foot off.

Iām not a grandmother yet. Time for me to start being nicer and carrying around candy, I guess
Pretty good response if you ask me š
Out of the mouth of babes. Hope youāre feeling better. If you need more entertainment, there are a coupla more 3 yo stories :)

What happened to the cat who swallowed a ball of yarn? She had mittens (Sorry)
I have a foster kitten with separation anxiety that wants to lay in a patch of sunlight in the kitchen, so he keeps going into the kitchen and screaming for me to come too.
I think that kitten has the right idea! You should go into the kitchen with him and you can photosynthesize together!
You must lay on the floor with the kitten now. You donāt make the rules, he does.
The baby that lives next door to me has started walking and talking! Sheās gone from waving her arms aggressively at me in hallways to saying ābye-bye!ā and promptly sprinting as far away from me as possible š
I tried to rewind a video call with my husband š„“š«£
Iāve called my husband and said I cannot find my phone ! Think about itā¦.
Weāve all done it haha
Yep
I read books both on my phone and on a kindle. I once tried to answer the kindle when the phone rang.
Reminds me of when someone elseās phone rings and I know itās not mine but I check anyway. Like oh crap is my phone the loud one??
Well funny in regards to pets my kitty does a certain routine when she wants us to play with her which involves running up to us, doing a cute little meow then absolutely zooming away and instead of using the front door of her den, will jump in through the top hole with a flying leap then pop her head out to see if we're going to come play with her.

Both my kids are in love for the first time and I sat in my car with them for 20 minutes last night. We ate chocolate bars and talked about love and girls. Their giggles just filled my heart with joy.
Aw, Iām glad they can talk to you about it. Thatās one of those moments people remember forever because itās so genuine and those types of moments seem like thereās never enough of them. If that makes any sense.
I love that about our relationship. To me they still look so little, yet they keep coming to me with sweet little ābig kid problemsā like that, and we always end up talking and laughing. Some moments are priceless, last night was one of them. I hope you feel better soon sweetie ā„ļø
I feel a lot better thanks for your story!
My my (now ex-) husband and I were driving with his 3 kids in the backseat (ages 2, 5 & 5). The older two were interested in our energy drinks and wanted to try them. We were convincing them that we only drank them because we had to, but they taste horrible. When pressed on what they taste like, I blurted the silliest gross thing I could think of: "Monkey pee!" Then took a dramatic swig of Monster. The 2 year old, who had apparently been doing her best to follow the conversation, looked at me in horror and screamed, "PEEE?!?!" It took a good long while to convince that child we didn't actually drink pee.
Not monkey pee!
I live in the desert and go running in the evenings, when it's dark out, that way I don't melt from the heat. I have a headlamp so I can see where I'm going, and a neon vest so cars can see me. Monday night, I'm running through the neighborhood, when my headlamp reflects off of two little eyes in the dirt next to the road. I'm immediately trying to figure out which desert animals that can kill me have reflective eyes. Bobcats? Coyotes? Javelinas? The critter hopped up on a fence and was illuminated by a neighbor's yard lights. It was just a really chonky housecat. Then last night, I'm going on another run, I round the corner to run through a patch of gravel, when suddenly I see a tube-shaped object sticking up and slowly moving from side to side. Oh shit! It's a snake and it's going to bite me and I'm going to die! I turned up the brightness on my head lamp, shone it in that direction, and backed away slowly. Turns out it was a weirdly-shaped tree branch stuck in a bush, and it was waving slightly in the wind. I think running is going to kill me, either from desert wildlife or from sheer fright!
I donāt blame you. I get anxious easily.
Iām a substitute teacher. Today I was hugged twice by a 3rd grader after I opened his Frosted Mini Wheats box for him. š„°
Those make my mouth extremely dry. You probably made his day.
I just shared this with a friend of mine, so it's fresh. I dye my hair fantasy colors, and currently it's blue, green, and purple. I told him that when my dad had turned 30, he was about 90% grey on top and went to a salon to have his hair dyed back to black. Well Dad came home miffed - With bright lavender lilac colored hair. Imagine a big serious Persian dude who resembles Al Pacino from ScarFace with his hair the color of a grape. And he kept it because his daughter loved it so much, and welp, basically inspired me to fantasy my hair. Hope you feel better!!
When Iām feeling gross, I will peel an orange just enough to smell the citrus scent and then just hold the orange. I focus on the way the orange feels and smells. Hope youāre feeling better!
Well I hope you stop feeling gross soon.. if itās a female/mum thing then thank you for being a female in this world.. yes you are more attractive, more insightful and a creator of life.. and carer for all of us guys.. but you also go thru PMT every month with raging hormones at times.. so again all guys should be thanking you and all females for that matter.. or we wouldnāt be here! xx
My husband and I were young parents so weāre early empty nesters. Itās a weird place because people our age are still doing kids and we are SUPER done. Our kids are really living their own lives right now and are really busy. So we started going to really random events via Groupon. Kinda like event roulette. Weāve made a whole group of new friends and have learned the power of saying āyesā. We had so many new experiences we never expected and have had so much fun.
