Parents Are Weird! A discussion of "special" families.
Am I the only one with awesomely insane parents?
I come from a crazy family, and we're all weirdos. XD Seriously, nobody can ever accuse us of being boring! Here are some examples of my parents', my own, and my whole family's craziness: When my mom and dad were first married, my mom had a "cute" little nickname for dad. He was her "Little Poop-stain". I'm totally serious. She never thought about the true meaning of Poop Stain until Dad pointed it out one day. They were grocery shopping, and Dad was about 3 aisles away. Mom suddenly needs something, so she hollers "Come here, my little poop stain!" Dad walks over and said "You do realize you're calling me a skid mark, right?" And Mom's reaction. "...oh." XD My mom calls me her "Goose". :lol: She says it's because, when I was a baby, I would do this thing where I stretched my neck out, and it reminded her of a goose. :sweat: Gee, thanks, Mom! My dad has the ability to make his voice sound seriously crazy. XD Like, somebody with retardation issues and extreme speech impediment. I wish I could explain it, but I can't. He uses this voice to ramble about crazy stuff that cracks me and my best friend up. My Dad often walks around the house singing random limricks about everyday stuff. Or about stuff that makes absolutely no sense at all. It's really entertaining. My Dad, my uncle, and most of my dad's half of the family and myself, are constantly ripping on eachother. We are all extremely sarcastic, but it's all good natured. My uncle and I, particularly, get along awesomely. We are both very sarcastic and smart-mouthed, and we both have great sense of humor. One thing we have in common is that we like to make fun of celebrities. Especially the Jonas Brothers. He calls them "The Unibrow Brothers", and I call them "The Fro Bros". XD Yeah. When I was a baby, I never crawled. I saw where I wanted to go, plopped down on my side, and rolled over there. XD We all know we're lunatics. We always joke about how I don't stand a chance, growing up with all of them. We suspect I will end up rocking out to music that only I can hear in my straight jacket and padded cell one day, bouncing off the walls and chatting with the voices. :lol: Stuff like this pretty much identifies my whole family. XD That and much much more that I don't feel like posting. So, who else has insane families? Who in particular is the craziest of all your family members? Some of your favorite crazy moments? Also, Can YOU top "poop stain"??? |
Well I'd be a lot better at listing off my father's insanities if my mom didn't make me delete the list I kept of them. One time he was talking about how he was going to lose weight by going on a diet. We asked him what his diet was and he said "I'll eat less cheese."
My Dad and I are friends first, so I hear a lot of stories from him that most sons wouldn't hear, so I hear a lot of wild stuff from him. Off the top of my head I've got nothing though. D: As to your father singing limericks, that's freaking awesome. I wish someone in my family would do that. |
My dad abbreviates everthing. If he can shorten something he wants to say into a string of letters, he'll do it. Some of the ones that stand out clearly in my mind right now, are "G D F'n C", which stands for "God Damn F*ckin' Cat", which he's fond of muttering when cleaning up after the cats :XD and "P I T A", which he calls me almost constantly (Pain In The Ass). There's so many more, I just can't think of any right now. But it's gotten me to the point where I can pretty much figure out any abbreviation thrown my way!
My mom is also really easily startled, and likes to randomly sing songs to the cats. Her favorite holiday song is "Oh Christmas Kitty" :XD When she gets into the shower, sometimes she makes this really high pitched warble, that to this day still makes me jump when I hear it, because it's so sharp and sudden! My parents are more cute than they are crazy I guess, but they're still pretty crazy to me. |
Hmm mostly its my mom whose being a nut right now. She is being nuts lately and now is divorcing my dad because of something he did that wasn't even that big of a deal. But I guess I can't top Poop stain xD

My oldest sister is very crazy. A few weeks ago, she was wearing a white shirt. A few minutes later, I see her and she draw all over the shirt she was wearing with a black permanent marker. She made a set of eyes where her breasts are, and there was a nose and smile mouth on her torso with a set of ears above her hips. Turns out she was bored, so she took the marker off my desk, and went to a mirror and started creating upon herself. She had that shirt on for the rest of the day and didn't take it off. Sad that no picture with proof. :( But it was very funny, I could not stop laughing. :XD

My parents act like big kids sometimes. My mom especially, she has a teenage soul. She watches MTV and VH1, listens to My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, Radio Head and the like. My parents have motorcycles (not Harley's, Pacific Coasts) and my mom whines when she has no one to ride with or when my dad tells her its not a good time to go out. She also has funny pet names for our pugs. She calls her dog 'lamb, lammy lamb, etc. Her favorite is, lammy from lammy lamb land that's followed but a strange sound that sounds like shes smacking her lips. She will randomly scream out "Lamb!" too. I get called mom sometimes when shes being silly and a bit childish while I'm trying to be serious.
My brother is the one that likes to sing silly songs. He will make up silly rap songs that point fun at people. Other times its just nonsensical. Instead of cussing he'll use the word beaver. Oh yea, its not uncommon for either of us to hum to video game music. He use to make me play his 'Which video game is this tune from?' and he still does ask me to play one of his silly games once and awhile. I guess we are more silly than crazy. |
I'm probably the craziest one in my family. I do a lot of weird stuff. Like one day my boyfriend and two of my other friends and I made a map of the library to see where are the exits and entrances and good hiding spots were. Then we tried to see if we could stay there when it closed and stay there for the night. Amazingly, it worked! We had first thought of the bathroom as a hiding place but then realized it was a very obvious hiding place. My boyfriend hid with me on top of the coke and Cookies and Pop-tarts vending machines in the movie room. Then one of my friends hid in one of the storage compartments near the front where the librarians check out stuff to you. It was kinda big so my friend fit in there. And my other friend stood in this little gated garden area. Nobody looks there at that time. We planned to open the door as soon we thought it was safe.
I know this sounds crazy. :D But it worked. And then we waited till the library had some other people there the next morning to go up to the front near the librarians. We were about to leave when one of the librarian's all, like, "When did you guys come in?" This was the very mean librarian with the short blonde hair. :rawrmayor: We turn around. My boyfriend's all like, "Oh, we came here when those little kids over there were coming in. Why, did you think that we were already in the library and spent the whole night here or something?" And I gave him this I-will-kill-you-when-we-get-out-of-here look. That was pretty close. :P We coulda been caught. I had called my parents to tell them that we had a sleepover at somebody's house. And all the others did that and said somebody else name. I told my mom what I did when I got home. My dad just laughed and said, "Wow, you really didn't get caught? Those librarians are dumb!" My mom smacked his arm and said, "That's so stupid! Why did you do that? You could have gotten caught and then you would have been in big trouble!" And then I write bad words about my enemies on the log in screen of other students' computers. :D We almost got caught a few times. My mom is pretty much fine but my dad tries to embarrass me on purpose whenever we go somewhere. For example, if I go to the mall, he starts singing some old late nineties song. That is so annoying! Then he tells me all these sick jokes and my mom gives him the shut-up-that-is-so-not-appropriate-for-her-age look. And then there's other things that are very weird about my family. Like for example, my dad sings Lady Gaga songs in the house. He actually likes her songs. Yah, I know. |
@ Hermes - I know, it is awesome! XD
@ background noises - Ha, that's awesome! XD Hey, "P I T A" reminds me of "PETA". Looks like it would be pronounced that way, too, if he said it like a word and not letters. If this was the case, "Pain in the ass" would suit very well! :lol: Sorry, i got sidetracked for a second. :P anywho, aw, that is cute! XD i'd love to here "Oh Christmas Kitties". @ Usuke - Ha, thats hilarious! XD I'd laugh all day if I saw that in person. (even though that's totally something i would do...lol) @ Watery Star - lol, my Mom's the same way when it comes to being a teen at heart. XP She listens to the same music at me, and is almost never serious. XD in fact, it's weird, because my mom does the same "mom" thing. You know, when I'm being more serious, and she's still being silly, she'll say "Oh, come on, Mom!" in this mock-whiny little kid's voice. XD @ stardust2night - lol, wow now I want to try that! XD most people in my family are equally crazy, i couldn't pick just one of us as most crazy, honestly. LOL, nice, what yo9ur boyfriend said. Smooth. Hey, I just thought of another one! Okay, so my Dad had a messed up childhood. (His parents suck, they aren't crazy like the rest of us! Or, at least, not in a good way, like the rest of us...) His parents didn't do much supervising with him and my uncle, and this led to some serious boredom. Which led to some crazy times. One of my favorites of my Dad's stories is when he and my uncle were still pretty young, just kids. They had this massive tree growing in their backyard. They often spent their time using plastic bags as parachutes on their action figures. One day, this led to the thought "Hey, why can't we do that?" So they decided to try it. So, they climb to a really high branch on the tree. They put their arms through holes of the handles on the plastic bags (and I don't mean garbage bags, I mean those same grocery bags they used on action figures!). Dad looks down, looks at his brother, and then gestures. "Why don't you go first?" XD no worries, he didn't even break a bone! ...By some miracle. :lol: And then there's one about my uncle. Okay, my uncle was a major smart mouth. So, his mom came up with a punishment. When he did this, she made him wash his mouth out with soap. (Jeez, real creative!) Of course, after a while, he got used to it. :xd: So, one day, he has to do this again, and his mother says "Yeah, don't like that, do ya?" And he responds by smacking his lips, looking over and saying "Nope. Needs salt." XD Good times, good times. |
I got some more about my Dad now after reading those.
He was driving my friend and I to a graduation last year (we weren't graduating, we were just dates). He spent most of the trip telling us the story of Lawrence. Now, back when Dad was a kid, everyone had nicknames. Do you know what they called Lawrence? Lawrence. Lawrence was a black belt in Karate. Everyone thought he was pretty tough. Except one day he lost a lot of credibility because outside his apartment he saw a couple drunk guys being obnoxious. He quickly darted inside, grabbed his gi, and confronted the drunks, only to promptly be beaten to a pulp. He also had a friend named 'Janet the Planet' for two years until one day she tripped and fell on some dog poo and was forever after known as 'Shithands.' |
