Very sad in actual fact, sort of…
Took my Mrs to see her ageing Mum today & i was faffing about on the phone doing a survey. Mrs asks what I’m doing & tell her I’m ‘telling a pack of lies about investments’. Mum then says, ‘who’s been paralysed with injections?’
Later we were discussing some paperwork & the Mrs said. ‘we’ll need a copy’, Mum says, ‘ do you need some coffee’?

This kind of thing goes on all afternoon! Odd thing is, she never just says ‘pardon’ or ‘what did you say’, she always thinks of something that sounds like what been said then says it!

Is an understandable “pride” mate.

My mum is similar. Doesn’t like to accept her hearing isn’t great to does her best to guess what was said.

I say pride in a nice way, not a bad way.

Who lied?

Sorry, you’ve lost me?
Have I misused a word/used dodgy spelling?

Egf

I recognise that. My now late mother in law used to pick up the phone when my wife called but left the TV volume up at a level that would wake the dinosaurs up from their fossils.

The first words out of my wife’s mouth were always “turn your telly down” and usually two or three times before she actually did.

The kids realised this matches quite well to the tune of Tie Your Mother Down by Queen…the rest is sadly history.

I don’t think Matt was listening properly. 😀

‘Pride’ rhymes with ‘lied’
Don’t you start!

Oh yes, Mrs Egf phones Mum & says/shouts, ‘turn the telly down, I can’t hear you’, Mum says, ‘what?’

Damn you Matt!

Hook, line and sinker! 😀
