Bianco2564 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 As the title. Yesterday me and my 7 year old grandson were watching a programme about the Pikes peak race, they were talking about one of the cars, a 550hp Audi A3 and grandson just comes out with "Jesus, that's fast". Couple of years ago same grandson and me were watching the full moon rising. I said "50 years ago, men flew in a rocket and landed on the moon" "Are they still there" he asks. "No, they had to come back because they run out of food and water" I reply. "And pudding?" he asks. "Yes mate, I guess they probably did" 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickly Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 As a small child we were holidaying in Criccieth North Wales & on a day trip to Caernarfon Castle, I piped up with “We must be nearly there, I just saw a sign for Caernarfon toilets” Mum & Dad Burst out laughing… the sign said ‘Caravans To Let’ went down in family folklore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 We were going round ruined remains of Criccieth Castle when my younger brother - probably about 5 at the time - asked, "Where are they?" whilst looking very disappointed. My Dad replied - "Where are who?" "All the dead soldiers." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably friends with a supermarket's till operator that had to ask, "What is this?" "A turnip...." "Really, never saw one before." Then I gave up. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidtav Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I was in a boatyard where they were doing major restoration on a classic wooden boat. And alongside the craft was the timber which had been sawn and stacked with spacers. … anyway there were two teenagers mooching around on bicycles. And I heard one say to the other “that’s not proper wood. It’s just an old tree which has been cut up!” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
