Do you have any inside jokes? We peas certainly know a lot! How about IRL? One of mine involves 5 hour energy. I don't drink coffee. Sil introduced me to 5 hour a few years ago. The first time I tried it was at a church event, a valentines dinner. I ended up getting pretty chatty. That night the 5 hour energy jokes began between us and 2 couple friends. Nobody knows about this exept the 6 of us and sil. Even now I don't drink it a lot and only have half at a time. Yesterday I'm at the store and they have a really good deal on 5 hour energy but you need to buy 2 big boxes of it. So I'm putting it in the cart - I have my hands on the goods - when who comes up but couple #1! Busted! Of all the people in the world... The dh immediately begins harrassing me about what's in my cart, do we need an intervention, etc. we were cracking up. I texted wife of couple #2 and let her in on the joke. Now she's coming back with the witty responses too. More laughs. Your turn!

I can only think of one that probably you had to be there to find funny so forgive me. We were on holiday with family at the pool. DD (about 8 yrs old) is trying to help my mother onto a small inflatable play dinghy. She's taking it very seriously and can't understand why my mother is struggling to clamber on whilst laughing. Getting frustrated DD says "Do you want to get IN it or ON it Grandma?" as if there was a difference and one would somehow be easier than the other. It made us laugh and it stuck for some reason and every now and then, someone will suddenly ask "Do you want to get IN it or ON it?"

We were out with friends a few years ago and I ordered a mixed grill. One friend was so shocked when he saw the amount of food on my plate when it was served that he asked if I was going to eat it or jump over it! We still say that today if served a really big portion of something!!

Yes. One that comes to mind is when my sister was in a bad marriage, the SIL wanted my sister to iron the SIL's clothing, saying "I never learned..." how to iron.
Now, when we neglect some task, accidentally or on purpose, we say we didn't do it because "I never learned..."
And at home, we have LOTS of little phrases and inside jokes that we attribute to the dogs.
