My mam is one of those Enid Blyton mams.

 

Never swears, always baking, pillar of the community, always tell me to wait for my Dad to get home instead of bollocking me herself.

 

I was about 20, went out on the piss after a European game and didn't get in until about 4, then when I hadn't stirred for work by 6, my mam comes in my room to make sure I was getting up. I tell her I'm not going to work, we have a brief discussion with her getting more frustrated, me getting more stubborn, then she goes to call work for me, telling them I was sick.

 

About 11am I get a call from the lad I was out with, he's off into town and wants to know what time I'm finishing work. I tell him I've skived off, but I'll meet him on the bus to town in an hour or so. Mam says if I'm well enough to go out, I'm well enough to go to work. Another discussion which ends up her driving me and my mate 12miles into Newcastle so we can get pissed again :lol:

 

she's got the patience of a saint :lol:

 

Oh, when my sisters found out, they went understandably ballistic, my Dad just laughed.

My Mam is Northern Irish and always gets words mixed up and says 'and that' at the end of a large percentage of her sentences but is soft as shite and would do anything for you. And that.

My Dad's started with the malapropisms too. Not just the remote, but other stuff too. Part of me is a bit worried, the majority just thinks it's fucking hilarious.

My mum is very, very loud. Tendency to speak her mind without really engaging it either.

 

She's very fond of cats, and has always addresed them in a shrill voice and as 'pussies'. Often the phrase 'noohooonoooo poosiees!' is heard throughout the house.

 

Not too much trouble when it's round the home, but she does it outside so anyone in the vicinity can hear. We have South-African neighbours who once asked if she could tone her voice down a touch, as it turns out in that 'pussy' means 'cath-word' in South African English slang and she was shouting it a bit too loudly whilst their kids were playing in the garden a few yards away.

Think yourself lucky, My late Geordie Granny would mumble away to herself all the time which apparently I do on the odd occasion but with no sound, just my lips moving. I laugh about it but I'm only 39 ffs!! :lol:

Talking to yourself is fine man. I do it all the time. I also ask, out loud, "Dave, who're you talking to?" and go on to have a good minute long out loud chat about why it's weird that I'm talking to myself.
