True Story.

TRUE TO LIFE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A woman wanted to reach her husband on his mobile phone but discovered
that she was out of credit; she instructed her son - to use his own phone
to pass across an urgent message to daddy who is at site.

After the son had called, he got back to mummy to inform her that it was
a lady that picked up daddy's phone the three times he tried reaching dad

on the mobile. (Women!!) She waited impatiently for her husband to return

from site, immediately she sighted him, she gave him a very hot slap, while
the man was trying to ask why? She repeated the slap, people from

neighborhood rushed around to know the cause of this.


The man asked his son to tell everybody what the lady said to him when he
called,
son
said …………………………….

the number u are Trying To call Is not Reachable At
The Moment. Pls Try Again Later".

How 2 Keep Your GirlFriend Happy.....

1 - Dont laugh at her. If shes trying 2 tell u something important and its hard for her, dont laugh it will make it even harder.
2 - Tell her u love her, but only if u really mean it. Tell her 2 on her face and not over an sms or over the net, it will mean alot more if u tell her in person.
Dont worry if u cant find the right time 2 say it theres never a wrong time to tell someone u love them, and she will tell u she loves u 2 coz she wouldnt be with u if she didnt love u.
3 - Buy her little presents 2 show that u love her, it doesnt have 2 cost much it can be cheap as long as its nice she'll love it and she'll love u even more for it, and u might even get a present from her
4 - Always offer 2 pay for things when u go out but dont pay all the time, if she wants 2 pay for herself let her.
If u hav a girl that always wants u 2 pay for her and she doesnt offer 2 pay for herself tell her u dont have much money and ask if she would like 2 pay for herself, but if she wont u'll probably be better off without her coz if u stay with her u'll never have any money for urself coz she'll spend it all.
5 - Dont ever hurt her. If ur mucking about and u accidently hurt her u should apologize but if she still goes mad at u it will be coz it really hurt, so if she does go mad an still hits u bk give her a cuddle and tell her u relly didny mean it.
6 - Never ever cheat, she'll always find out, even if u thuink ur bein smart cheatin on her wi someone she'll never meet, chances r one of her friends will know her or one of ur friends will tell her.
7 - Dont keep secrets if u do she'll start 2 get paranoid and think ur cheating on her
8 - Dont lie its worse that keeping secrets coz u'll make her feel like u dont trust her and cant tell her anything so she'll keep secrets 2 and wont tell u anything.
9 - Always give her a kiss and a cuddle, even if ur out with ur friends.
10 - Never ever talk about how good looking other girls or women on the tv are u'll make her feel really bad, and she'll think u dont find her attractive.
And never talk about ur exs, unless ur saying something really horrible about them, she'll think u still like them and u dont like her as much
11 - If shes got guy friends and she talks 2 them alot dont get jealous and think that shes goin 2 cheat on u theyre only friends nothings goin 2 happen between them.
12 - If she looks upset about something ask her whats wrong, but if she says nothing that means she doesnt want 2 talk about it and theres nothing u can do 2 make her talk about it so just give her a cuddle coz it will make her feel alot better.
13 - Always ask her how her days been she'll always have something 2 say, and it will show that u care.
14 - If she does smoething that really annoys u, u have 2 tell her u cant jst go in a mood or she wont know wot she did wrong, she will really appreciate u telling her coz she'll know not 2 do it again.
15 - Whenever u talk about the future always talk about it as if u r going 2 be together forever it will make her feel like u really love her and u always want 2 be with her.

9 things you shouldn’t say to your child

I just read a really interesting article by Paula Spencer, which outlines the nine things you should never say to your children. It's a good, informative piece that explains not only why you shouldn't say these things but suggests alternatives.

Paula also points out that of course, us mums cant always waft around in a cloud of freshly baked cookie scent, being endlessly sweet and patient and sometimes we do snap; the question is, how often and how brutally do you verbally swipe at your offspring?

Having glanced at the comments underneath Paula's article I didn't need to read further than the first, which simply said "I've said every one" then the mum in question backed up that statement with a sad face made entirely from punctuation, to illustrate just how dissatisfied she is with her loose tongue.

Well, I can tell that mum to turn that frown (or rather bracket) upside down as she ain't alone!

So, just for fun, lets go through the nine don'ts and play a bit of "bad mummy bingo", fingers crossed you don't get a full house.

[See also: Top 10 words that toddles mispronounce]

1) "Leave me alone!"
Ok, so this one I've definitely said, to be precise though I say the Northern version, handed down through generations of proud Boltonian women: "Stop mithering!"

See also "Get out from under my feet!" which is most effective when thundered lovingly from atop a juddering ample bosom clad in a housecoat.

This one is a no-brainer for me; when pans are bubbling over and there's a child pulling at your arms, I see it as a warm shooing away for their own safety. Ok, next:

2) "You're so.."
Hmm, this is an interesting one 'cos there's so many words you can tag onto this: selfish/lazy/stupid are ones I'd never ever use. Daft/dramatic/soppy maybe, but said in a chiding way, though probably not ideal. Must try harder Saz. Labeling your child by telling them they are something is probably best avoided, unless its "You're so gorgeous/sweet/brilliant"

3) "Don't cry"
Yep, said it. This isn't really a bad one. It's more about validating their feelings. Saying "you must be sad Jamie cant play out today" is preferable though does take a while.

4) "Why can't you be more like your sister?"
This one only works if your child has a sister, otherwise they'll think you're insane. I don't do this one, but must confess to saying pointedly, "Oh, good girl Lola, eating your dinner so nicely" as Isaac rubs mashed potato in his hair.

5) "You Know Better Than That!"
Oh no. Wish I'd never started this! Yup, I've definitely said a version of that to Lola. When she's wrestling with a 6-pint carton of milk and spills it (though not worth crying over) I have been known to say "You kinda knew that'd happen, ask me for help next time". I suppose next time I ought to miss off the first half of the statement. Or buy smaller cartons of milk.

6) "Stop or I'll give you something to cry about!"
Ok, this one I never say. For two reasons: my mum used to say it a lot and I remember hating the menacing undercurrent of a promised smack and also, I'm a firm believer in following through threats and seeing as I don't hit my kids, this threat would be pointless.

I must however say I do now with hindsight understand why my mum would say it, as there are few things more annoying than a child theatrically bursting into tears at the drop of a hat/flapjack/crayon. It's manipulative and noisy.

7) "Hurry up!"
Well, I may as well get this one tattooed somewhere on my midriff to save time in a morning, so when I'm halfway out the door on a rainy Monday AM with a baby/blazer/book bag/games kit in my arms and my darling daughter not only hasn't put her shoes on (as I've asked her to six times) but is instead perched on the stairs plaiting her dolls hair I can simply flash my tummy tattoo instead of growling "hurry up" through a mouthful of half-munched apple.

8) "Wait 'til daddy gets home!"
Never said it. That's no threat. I'm the boss and they know it. In fact, they're probably excited about his arrival home to save them from me.

9) "Great job!" or "good girl!"
Hmm, apparently its better to be more specific, like "I can see how beautifully you've coloured in the butterfly wings on that picture" which obviously takes longer. I'm taking that one on board and will do my best, unless of course the butterfly is being illustrated when she should be getting her school shoes on (see above)

So that's the naughty nine. Whatever your score there's probably room for improvement but let's not beat ourselves up too much. I'm sure most of us had some of the 9 said to us as children and we're ok. Now stop mithering me, I'm off to bed.
