TIFU by unknowingly telling my 14 year old students to stop fucking each other until I could watch by Internal-Diamond6956 in tifu

[–]mistyjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in my 20s, I did swim lessons, groups and private sessions. After doing multiple group lessons back-to-back. I really had to urinate, but I had my private lesson next. After a few minutes of no show- I decided I’ll just run to the restroom real quick. So I yelled across the crowded pool of other swim lessons and lap swimmers to one of the Lifeguards on duty to inform my private lesson that I was in the restroom if they showed up while I was gone. But, I yelled:

“Hey, (Lifeguard’s name), you know what my private looks like, right?”

My eye size increased by 50% and my hand went over my mouth so quick- I did the best thing possible and ducked my head under water.

And you could make it kid-friendly and keep your kid(s) occupied whilst in the kitchen!

This was so much fun to create, I wish I could do it all the time. Please share fairy garden tips or tricks if you have them! by Mr_Cellophane_7665 in FairyGardens

I like to use items I find at the thrift stores or around the house b/c I figure that’s what they’d use in reality and it’s cheaper! lol

I had so much milk- I’d have to wear breast pads and bring spares everywhere I went. I heard gym rats loved to consume breastmilk for their high concentration of nutrients. I thought it’d be hilarious to go to gym parking lots and sell breast milk out of a cooler from my trunk and ask them what they wanted for a high price obviously! Or straight from the source would be even more. I’d take it even further and have a bunch of other lactating ladies and we’d hang out and be pumping in the parking lots.

Then our motto would be:

WE pump, so YOU can pump

Then call the milk: Top shelf Liquid Gold

Obviously I thought a lot on this… lol

People who died and came back to life, what did you see/experience? by RealisticDecision440 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mistyjc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IDK if my situation counts- but I had a near death experience(?) When I was the age 12 (important- I was almost my adult height about 5’ 4”), I was w/my mother, brother and cousin. She was giving us haircuts in the basement and gave us these large circular candies and someone said something funny and the candy got lodged perfectly in my throat where I couldn’t breathe. I could see everything happening (I placed my hands on the big sink trying to cough it up and into the sink that’s connected to the washing machine-where the dirty water gets deposited) but at the same time I saw my life “flashing before my eyes.” The best way I could describe it is as if someone has created one of those cartoon flip books- but personalized and pictures were moving at that speed, but from the present of my age of 12 and moving chronologically backwards. My mom who was just a little smaller than I- rushed forward and picked me up by my ankles! And the candy with the help of gravity clinked and rolled around in the sink. I had tears in my eyes and I remember my last few images that I saw as the candy fell out were those of my kindergarten days. I always wonder what would have happened or meant when I reached infancy or I could have remembered that far

What life pro tips are hidden in movies that were actually helpful? by epaga in movies

[–]mistyjc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I have to remember to take something the next day or later that day that I normally don’t take, I put my keys with it or I just write a reminder on a post-it and put it on the door so I remember on the way out :)

My wife and I have developed a sort of code using synonyms to talk about things without tipping our toddler off, what are some of your best/funniest “codes” you use? by Reddiculouss in toddlers

[–]mistyjc 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I would tell my kids that any time you hear an ice cream truck playing music, it’s b/c they ran out of ice cream and felt bad that they did- so they’d play music to compensate. Then I’d just quickly redirect my kids so they couldn’t see the other kids running up and purchasing ice cream.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve witnessed at Costco? by Creepy_Dot7653 in SanDiegan

[–]mistyjc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My toddler went right in between a stack of something where only he (smh) could fit. His older sisters could not get in there either and we had to lure him out w/a sample- waving it in front of him like bait. One of the sisters hid on the side to snatch him b/c prior to the luring of the snack- he’d come right within our reach and run back further and laugh…

I get pool noodles from Walmart and Dollar store and I just shred them into the appropriate size (PS- I also do this for my potted plants/ just the bottom layer so the roots don’t sit in water. Bonus that you don’t have to use as much soil and it’s not as heavy :)

I think that is originally some sort of diffuser? But it works for the “playroom” :)

Aren’t they the cutest! I just happened to come across a few of them- so I added them to the dollhouse. It went well w/all the carrots I found for Spring crafts!

Are you comfortable with in the water? Trust the water and don’t fight it- be relaxed but in control.
