Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Okay, I'm in a gloomy mood so I need a laugh. I thought I'd share some of my favorite nada lies. Once we were talking on the phone, and she was talking about how one of her " friends " was in the hospital and required a " plattle-let " transfusion, referring to those handy little buggers that form blood clots and prevent us from exanguinating. " Hold on, " I said, " Don't you mean a platelet transfusion? " She paused for dramatic effect, and answered, " Out *here*, we call them plattle-lets. " Where does anyone pronounce it that way? In Oz, perhaps? Also, she told people that I had my children on a low-carb diet. My sister heard her tell someone this and asked her what made her say that. It was because I don't let them have candy more than once or twice a week. Clearly it must be because I had them counting carbs at 8, 6, and 4 years of age. She also likes to pretend to other people that we have this close, warm and fuzzy relationship, and so will tell people that I " just love " to do this or that, even if it's not true. I called her on it once, and she said, " Well what was I supposed to say? You never tell me anything! " Um, did you really need to say anything? Especially since the other person wasn't even talking about me at the time? All right, so these are sort of sad-funny, but I think laughing at them keeps us from wanting to kill them. Any other ridiculous lies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Too funny! Maybe they have different medical textbooks there.....ha ha. (I'll try and come up with some of my nada's lies. It'll have to be later. I was supposed to be taking down the Christmas tree today -- spent waaaaaay too much time playing with my KO friends!) -Kyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Great thread! Here's my favorite one these days, that I haven't already told you guys. When we used to live in a different state I'd talk to my parents on the phone and update them on work and house projects. We'd be chatting about some huge home renovation and my dad would offer to come out for the weekend to help. I always and still so take his offers as geniune, and didn't give much thought to how my mom felt about it at the time. So they'd both come out, my husband and my dad would do the major work, my mom and I would do easier stuff or go shopping or something. Then at night we'd all go out to dinner. I always kind of enjoyed these weekends, kind of bonding experiences. Of course this was before I realized my mom was crazy. My sister would talk to my parents later on and first talk to my dad, and ask him how the weekend was. He'd say great, we got a lot done, I was able to help them out, we had fun, etc, .... nothing negative. Then my sister would talk to my mom....my mom would go on and on about how I was so demanding, making them come and help, blahblah blah. Ok once again my mom gives everyone a different story. > > Okay, I'm in a gloomy mood so I need a laugh.
