Guest mukerjee1 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Never,ever get so distracted by the howls of anguish unleashed by your husband as he discovers that your seven year old has kindly 'washed' his dad's socks in the dishwasher that you then use a fish slice to 'mash' the potato...(doesn't work... apparently...)

finleysmaid Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 My mum always told me never say never! well all i can say is perhaps she may have changed her opinion when she had explained, at least 50 times, that the two pictures have to be the SAME! :blink: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 This reminded me of trying to play snap with some of mine the other day. I'd forgotten that every family seems to have different rules about how to lay the cards out, when you say snap, what happens to the 'snapped' cards etc etc etc! It was a good lesson in cultural differences :huh: :blink: Never, ever assume that everyone thinks 'sit on the carpet please' means the same as you think it does! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washing the socks, or mashing the potatoes! Your husband needs to be thankful that he is trying to help and make the most of the enthusiasm---the novelty soon wears off! Or it did in my house.

Panders Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 .......leave a 3 and a half year old with a bucket of water and a paint brush to paint the fence and turn your back. He threw the water at the fence, but instead of the water landing on the fence it has gone over his head! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
