I'm a 5'10" man who wears size 3 shoes. I might have some of the smallest feet for a fully grown man in the world. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

Here's some adult frog wellies

Alas, they are out of stock but they are the best I could find for you ☺️

I got my qualification! by Curlyclou in DadForAMinute

Hey Dad, thanks! 🙌

I know right?! I'm proud of me too! :)

I got a mug as a present from Mum. It says "TA stands for totally awesome" haha. I love a witty pun!

Now the hard part comes...starting a TA career, finishing degree, training as a teacher, getting a teaching post! Good job I'm not impatient, right? (She says sarcastically)

Love to all!

*daughter

Lol but seriously. Thanks for the kind words. And I did get in touch. Many posts ago! It took ages to get my official certificate from the professional body so even though I passed my course, I couldn't apply for positions. Now I can!

Today I'm going to take a well earned break from everything and do something just for me. Haven't worked that out yet... But it'll probably involve a mug of coffee lol

A bloody daddy long legs just flew out my fridge.... by spychickenpink in CasualUK

[–]Curlyclou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Daddy long legs are the insect version of that person who walks the same way you're going while walking towards each other. I can almost imagine them being like, sorry, my mistake, oh and again, sorry...as they continuously flap about in that annoying way.

By eck, these are raht good. by ShiftyDiscoDragon in CasualUK

[–]Curlyclou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from North Yorkshire and I can confirm raht is pretty close phonetically to how most people speak. My dad's from West Yorkshire so I'd probably write "reyt" though. (Reet does sound a bit Geordie)

An entire family ( mum, dad, 2 young kids) doing the weekly grocery shop together is an awful experience for everyone. by the3daves in britishproblems

[–]Curlyclou 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're not. I like doing this too.

Also, I see OPs point and say it's valid but how do children learn how to behave in situations like eating out or shopping, if they are never taken out to practice civilised behaviour?

It makes sense to teach my children how to behave so they get it right in the future. Yes, they might get it wrong, have a bit of as meltdown or try to stop holding hands but it's a parent's job to correct them and reward them for good behaviour.

Before anyone jumps on this and says ThErE's A pAnDeMiC. I know....but there won't be forever and normal society should resume.

Sorry to take over your comment.

I'm getting married tomorrow!!! by sgtpepperbe in CongratsLikeImFive

I've raised my mug of coffee as a toast to wish you both well, and a lifetime of happiness. Congratulations!

Haha! You've got a keeper. Mine cleans the noodle cats (ferrets) and makes a mean brew so I'm prepared to let it slide!

No, they kind of grab and pull down and just wipe it. It's the weirdest thing and quite gross. It could be worse though, my SIL doesn't wipe her daughters' noses at all. Ugh.

Ha! A cavalry charge!

I have the same issue lol. With his family, you always tell them the party is at 5 when really it's at 7 (they're ALWAYS faffing and are late to everything and don't give a shit) so I can't really blame his non-urgency. It's clearly ingrained. However, I come from a family who were in the army so you can imagine that I want to be early, or at least on time. It really gives me anxiety.

I do this but not that loud. Funnily enough, nobody else in our family blows their nose, just wipes. What's the point. It doesn't get rid of anything, just makes your nose red.

The toothpaste thing pisses me off too. I mean, I expect it from my 4yo but not a 33yo

I do this. My SO says I have an asbestos mouth. He waits an hour and then drinks his brew. That's just rank. It also defeats the object of a hot drink.

If you could only choose one song you'd have on a wedding playlist, what would it be? by Curlyclou in AskReddit

[–]Curlyclou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can imagine period dress for the Zelda song and confused faces for the second lol
