When I worked in a care home and was pregnant with my son, I hadn't worked there long, I had very bad indigestion and the old wise Irish nurse told me the only way to get rid of it was to sit on a bucket of hot water.

Like an idiot, I proceed to the cleaning room brought back a bucket and started to fill it with hot water from the geezer. "put some cold in it" she said with a deadpan face.

If it wasn't for hearing the other carers chuckling I would have have had a bright red bottom by now.

Years ago my mom and I visited my uncle Leo in Phoenix Arizona. He had a truck that had a small back seat. So I would sit in the back seat but it was really hard for me to get out of there.

So one time my mom said she would sit back there. We came home in the late evening after sightseeing. And mom couldn't get out of the truck! We all were laughing uncontrollably! And then my uncle said he wasn't going to call the fire department. That made us all laugh even harder!

We thought we were going to wake up the neighbors so tried to stifle our laughter which made us laugh more.

Finally mom managed somehow to get out of that truck. Of course, I went back to sitting back there after that experience.

@amigo de christo We were talking about a funny story in the photo thread...so here's the thread I told you about. Check it out... several funny stories here by a few members.

I have another one. Uncle C loved to talk. He and Aunt G were driving on the highway in Pennsylvania. Aunt G was quite large . She leaned against the car door and fell out on the highway! Since Uncle C was busy talking, he didn't notice she was gone for awhile.

He had to drive back to get her! Thankfully the highways weren't so busy back then. She was ok. But everyone in the family kept telling the story!

I once caught my dad while fishing. I went to cast and the hook caught his arm instead. Let's say he wasn't too happy about that at the time.

One time I was enjoying a bag of trail mix we had got from the store until I actually looked at what I was eating and noticed little white worms moving around. Who knows how many I ate without knowing it.

Ouch, your poor dad!

Yikes, the worms! I better keep looking in my bags of trail mix!

Thanks for contributing to this thread. :blush: I enjoy a good laugh.

When I was very young, I woke up early one day and got myself a banana.

We had an ottoman that had a fancy brocade pattern. I knelt down and was using the ottoman as a table. Somehow the raised pattern of the ottoman caught my attention. Don't ask me why, but I turned my banana upside down and proceeded to start rubbing the banana into the pattern!!!

At least I only did a small circle until my mom came in!

For all of my adult life I never liked bananas. LOL
But for many years I did do many oil paintings.

When I was maybe five years old, we apparently had a mouse problem. Never saw any but I guess my parents knew there was one. So they set a mouse trap and caught it.

I came across it where my parents had laid it out on some newspaper, to wrap up for the trash. I can remember bending down and petting the dead mouse.... saying "poor mouse." My mom came back into the kitchen asking me what I was doing!

Always was an animal lover I guess!
