Tuesday Tidbits 4

1
On checking in at Ben Gurion Airport...
DD (anxiously): Where are our soup cases going?

2
DD: I've got hip cups again. All the time today I keep having hip cups.

3
Singing along to Mama Mia...
DD: Well I can dance with you honey, if you think it's funny, does your mother know the giraffe?



4
I crawled into bed with DD one night and felt a tap on my shoulder...
DD (whispering): Do you love me?
Me: Of course I love you. You're my little girl and I love you best in the whole world.
Me (whispering): Do you love me?
DD: Well not so very much.
Me: Why not?
DD: You're a little bit smelly.





5
On hearing Gangnam Style on the radio...
DD (doing her best PSY Gangnam Style dancing): Opa Grandma style! Opa Grandma style!

6
We shared a room while we were away. One night I was woken in the small hours by DD shouting: WHAT'S THAT NOISE AGAIN?
Me: What noise?
DD: Like this: khor khor khor khor.
Me: Oh sorry, that's me snoring.
DD: WELL WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THAT ALL THE TIME? STOP IT! YOU'RE WAKING ME UP!

7
DD: I've got a little spoon and fork for children and you've got a big knife and fork for mummies and daddies.
Me: Mine are for grown ups. Not all grown ups are mummies and daddies. C is a man but he's not a daddy because he hasn't got any children. And H is a woman but she's not a mummy because she hasn't got any children.
DD: You're right.
Me: You're only a mummy or a daddy if you have children.
DD: You're right. And then you can have your big knife and fork because that's only for mummies and daddies.

      I never thought to do it until I started and saw how easily we forget these things. And they are cute.

      I love the giraffe one too. Grandma likes 'Grandma Style!' best of course.

    So much fun to read and to keep. I think I've said number 6. in a slightly different form to Jonny many times! Love Grandma style-that's hilarious.

      I don't know why I didn't reply to this at the time but now I'm singing "Opa grandma style, sexy lady..." :)
