I'm in a funky mood today and would love to hear some funny stories. Really red's lingerie question made me think back to one Christmas we had when I was a teen. My dad gave my sister and I money to buy stuff for my mom's Christmas stocking. We bought a very sexy pair of panties and put them in there. My dad had no clue. On Christmas morning my mom was opening her stocking gifts and pulled out the panties. Her face turned bright red. She was so embarrassed. My dad laughed so hard I thought he was going to choke. My dad is not a man who laughs easily. It is one of my favorite Christmas memories.

My brother is 47 and went gray really early. (See attached photo of him and his wife who is 48). The other day at lunch, he paid for his lunch and for a co-worker at a pizza buffet place. All he said when he paid was "2". They charged him for 1 adult meal and 1 senior meal. He didn't notice it until I pointed it out to him. He thought it was hysterical.

My grandson, age 8, is so funny! Recently my DD threatened to spank him - in jest - and he replied "You can't. I'm too special!"
My DH uses crutches every day. Same grandson calls them his sticks. Grandpa was lagging behind our DS and grandson, when the kid yelled back to DH "Let's go, Sticks!" So now DH signs all his cards to him "grandpa Sticks".

My DD who is 20 and pretty smart but can be a blonde... In high school we were going to a volleyball game and we were out in the middle of the country and I pointed out to some brown cows and jokingly said, "look there is where your chocolate milk came from".... Yeah, she was quite for about 5 whole minutes trying to process that. I could see the look on her face going... realllly??
Then almost around the same time, she looked at me and said "Why does Chick-Fil-A have cows as their mascots?"... again I just looked at her and never said a word... She finally saw the light...
This girl was an honor roll girl.. was National Honor Society.. good grades in her first year of college... I HAVE NO IDEA HOW... hahaha

warrior1991 your story made me think of this one. My older sister has colored her hair for years while I always just let mine do what it does. When my sister and her husband were visiting a few years ago, my DD (about 4 at the time) was asking my sister if she was older or younger than me. My sister said she was older. DD looks at sister, looks at me, then said, "But your hair is brown and Mama's is gray. Are you just old on the inside?"  My sister still laughs about that one!

crazy4scraps That is so funny. I went gray early too, but I color mine. I am 3 years younger than him. His kids have stopped asking me if I'm old.

When my son was 4 he was acting terrible while I was trying to run errands. I said mom's going to spank you if you don't straighten up. And I said and you know I'm mad because mom's not a spanker. My 5 year old DD said no mom you're a yeller.

I have wildflowers growing in my little fenced in suburban backyard. The other day my sister came over to help me identify the flowers. We took the dogs out with us and started to explore the yard. She noticed that there were several different kinds of lilies. As we were walking around, talking about the lilies, one of my three dogs kept running up to us. I'd shoo her away and we'd continue on talking about the lilies and asking each other "it that a common lily?" "Oh, here's another lily plant", ect. The same dog kept running up to us. Finally, my sister had enough and wanted to know just what that dog wanted! It took me a few minutes and then I realized the dog that kept running over to us was my beagle. Named - Lily. So every time we said "lily", she thought we were calling for her. I had to laugh. At least I know "Lily" knows her name!

Every month when I go to pay the Comcast bill online I get an error message that my password is wrong. I was complaining to DH about it last week and he said he had to do the same thing every time he went to his music channel. After a few minutes it dawned on me that we were using different passwords to access the same account and we were both changing it everytime.

There's a song on the radio right now with the line "kill 'em with kindness, kill 'em with kindness." This week my kindergartner asked what kill with kindness meant. I explained, and he responded, "Oh so you're really nice, and then you kill them?"

There's a store in our town going out of business. My daughter (has Autism) has a loud voice. We walk into the store and she says "Wow! I thought this place would be scoured! There's still a lot of stuff!" We had a therapist with us that day and he whispered to me, that was really funny. My son (Autism) is quite the charmer. I went in his classroom to take him home today and there he is sitting with the aides and teacher eating their food! After lunch, they have a quiet time in the room so the staff can actually eat. The teacher said its okay he was being well behaved and very cute. My other son likes to tease my daughter now and then who's obsessed with super heroes and Star Wars. He says to me yesterday, Mom can I tell her Chris Pratt started out as a stripper?

We invited my family over for a birthday party a few weeks ago. We have a dog, Carbon, a black lab-boxer mix. She has a naturally boxy build, but, at 7 years old, is putting on some mid-life weight (she's fat), which is common for labs, since they like to eat so much. My older brother brought his dog, Delta, a golden retriever. She is almost 2 and is very, very slim.
My younger brother's youngest son, J is 6. He hasn't had very much exposure to our dog as we have, until very recently, lived out of state. And don't live close enough now for him to know our dog.
All the kids were outside playing with the dogs and my nephew J kept referring to our dog as "he". So DH told him Carbon is a girl. He looked at DH very skeptically, then explained in exasperation, "But she's black!" DH assured him that color had no bearing on her gender. Then J very carefully pointed out that Delta, who he knew was a girl, was skinny with a fluffy tail, and our dog was fat with a thin tail. DH then assured J that girls can be fat too.
My little brother, who is a deputy sheriff, just laughed and said he would have a talk with J about profiling.

In February, my cousin traveled to Florida to join me and my DH for part of our vacation. We had a washer and dryer in our unit. After my cousin left, I discovered she had left a pair of panties in the dryer. Easter was my first time seeing her so I thought it would be funny to put them in a plastic egg. I gave her the egg, she opened it and we had a laugh.
About an hour later the whole family was outside and I heard my other cousin's son (he's 23) say "What is this? Gross. Who would do this?" I look over and he's holding the egg in one hand and the panties, at the very edge, between his thumb and forefinger. The egg had fallen out of my cousin's pocket. It gave us a huge laugh though.

This is from several years ago as I was introducing DD to word problems.
Me: Dad and Ben ate eleven cookies altogether. Dad ate five and Ben ate the rest. How many cookies did Ben eat?
DD: The rest! (pauses, then says excitedly) I'm really good at this, huh, Mom?

My daughter (who is in college) called me at 1am (grrrr) to warn me that she had been looking at male chastity belts on our Amazon account....so that I wouldn't be alarmed if it came up later. She also said she was very, very sorry she had looked at them because they were very, very scary. I wasn't awake enough to ask her why she had the need to look for male chastity belts at 1 in the morning......

My seven year old nephew is a sweet kid. He broke his leg recently and is a bit bored with being immobile in a cast. I asked him the other day how he feels and he replies 'I'm down and out but I'm still rocking my own kind of awesome'.

Whenever Mother and I leave a doctor's appointment, she always wants to call my dad and tell him we are on our way home and how the appointment went. Never mind that we will be home in less than 30 minutes and he is probably napping in his recliner. I'm always driving in these instances so one day she is in the passenger seat dialing the cell phone and she suddenly hangs up. "I don't know what is wrong, I keep dialing our number and some woman answers the phone!"
Daddy wasn't home and she had gotten the answering machine. It was her own voice saying back to her "We aren't home right now, please leave a message..."

Everybody seems to be worried that my husband and I are getting a divorce. His boss pointed out the can a ravioli that I put in his lunch! No wife would that unless she is planning to leave.
Ladies don't put a can of ravioli in your husband's lunch !

We were at church one Sunday morning and it was my family of 5 plus 3 of my older girls friends. We almost took up an entire pew. It was really quiet when they were passing the tray with the cups of juice. It was coming down the pew from my left. About that time youngest dd (small toddler ) dropped her toy and dh leaned over to get it off the floor. I took the tray and spun around to hand it to him (not knowing he was leaned over) and bonked him in the forehead with it. It made this loud bonging sound. Our entire pew was shaking with quiet laughter...which makes you giggle harder bc you know it's an inappropriate moment and you need to be quiet. The people behind us were shaking their pew as well. It was so loud when it hit his head...left a nice little red stripe as well hahahaha. Im sitting here giggling at the memory as my dds look oddly at me  Edited bc my autocorrect made pew into pee...which made me laugh even harder

Okay, so my daughter is the TA for Anatomy and Physiology Lab. In lab this week, each lab group was to test a urine sample. Someone in the group had to volunteer to "fill the cup." So, this poor guy finally volunteers much to his dislike. He comes out with his cup and one of the girls in the group yells "Look there's a hair in it." My daughter said the poor guy turned purple.

While babysitting last weekend:
4YO Grandson : "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first?" (Give me the good news) "No." (Ok give me the bad news). "I can’t find my shoes and socks anywhere."
(What was the good news?) "I didn’t have any good news."

Not really a funny story, but I found it seriously cool. I was at a choral concert a few weeks ago when a man walked by me wearing shorts. He had a wooden leg that was intricately carved - the thing was beautiful; a work of art. As he walked past me, I noticed that, attached to his calf, was a bottle opener - the kind that you would attach to a wall. It was just so freaking random.
