I had a text message earlier which started with 'hi mum, can you call me it's urgent' wasn't aware I was a mum

We all should start posting all the wacky scam texts we get. A lot of mine are along the lines of, “great seein u at the club last night didja mean what u said????”

That, and job offers for working something like 10 hours a week at home guaranteed $8K per week cash.

We have launched a new brand for our seasonal Tourtieres. We usually do a few hundred. I’ve always used my mother’s recipe. My son did this up and now the pies have a name brand..

Winter is here...View attachment 136375

Winter is still fighting back here. Got to this morning to 0°C to find out that it had been down to -3.2°C (26F) with a feels like -11.4°C (11.4F) currently.



It was over 30°C last week.

I know that you shouldn't reply, but when I did receive those sms messages, we used to come up with some great lines that we wished we could send as a response!

You can see how easy it is for parents to get caught out.

Reminds me of the time when my husband woke me up and asked “can you help me change our little girl? She got pee on her onesie” and I’m lying there saying “but I thought we didn’t have children!” Our cat had recently had surgery, and we’d put her in a onesie to prevent her from licking her stitches.

After she was all changed into a dry onesie, I said to my husband “what kind of a father are you? Can’t even change your own kid without help, sheesh!” and he retorted “She has sharp parts!”

“can you help me change our little girl?

I got this far and wondered what you wanted to change her with (as in swap)

She got pee on her onesie”

..and I got this far and wondered what the heck a "onesie" was.
Still wondering until I looked it up on google!
