Do you have any funny stories involving you and your parents? Do your parents have a catchphrase, or something to that extent? Or do you share an funny inside joke with them?
Today I ate dinner with my mother, and for some reason I was really squirrely and hyper. I grabbed a knife, and bit the blade side towards my lips like a pirate, and asked my mom, "What would happen if I cut myself here?" (pertaining to the corners of my lips). And my mom simply replies while grabbing the knife away from me, "You won't be very happy."
I just thought that was ridiculously hilarious. Anyone wanna share some fun moments?

My dad calls my mom "Horny". He thinks it's a cute way to say "Honey". One time, when I was young at a babysitters. We were all going around saying what our parents called eachother. And what popped out of my mouth? "My dad calls my mom Horny". My mom was right behind me when I said that.
So my mom and I were at a mexican restaurant the other day, and we were just sitting down waiting to order, when she starts to speak to the waiter in spanish (I'm not completely fluent). She's asking him questions about what she should get, and then she looks at me, and says in english, "I like crunchy things".
Yeah....... that's my mom.........

Well, the cousin is kinda...Hold on a second, phone is ringing.
Well, I just had the most pointless convo with that same grandma. She was all "I think Julie and Eric (aunt and cousin) are going to go to breakfast tomorrow. I'm trying to get a hold of your mother, but I can't"
All the while, me going "Uh huh....Oh...Okay..."
Pointless beyond belief.
Anywho, back to my story. Yeah, the cousin was fat, lost a bunch of weight. She was doing some laundry and had to leave, so she asked my grandma to do the folding. She comes back and is like "Grandma, where are my clothes?"
My grandma was all "I didn't think those were you clothes. They were waaaayyy too small to fit you. They looked like dolls clothes"
You kinda have to be a part of the family to understand, but it was pwning nonetheless.
My grandma (we call her Nana) is from Kentucky and she's 83, so she's like a little racist in a cute way.
A couple days ago when she picked me up from work, we were listening to "Old Man River" form Showboat and she turns to my grandpa and asks: "Who was the Negro that sang this?"
I couldn't help but smile.
I probably have lots of stories about my mom, but I can't think of any at the moment.
My mom and I were looking at pictures of an actor's thighs. Then she suddenly yelled, "I can't do this any more!" And walked out of the room all flustered.
Like tonight he was eating his dinner, some fish or something on toast.. and the toast kept falling apart.. and he ended up spilling a load down his shirt and he was wiping it down with a cloth when I looked up at him and he clutched his hand to his chest, screwing the tissue up inside and said "god bless america" trying to disguise what he was doing
Just typing this out and remembering it has me in tears

It's not so much of what she said as what she did. My mom used to take a Xanax before she and my dad would come to pick me up at school. (She can't be in a car with my father for three hours. )
And since I never smile or talk, my friend thought it was funny how happy and smiley my mother was.
