Sat on the beach naked - thankfully no-one else on the beach (my father)
Wait for it to go very quiet in the cinema when a pretty lady was on the screen, then shout "Just look at those knockers!" at the top of his voice (my father)

Take his swimming trunks off whilst in the sea and wave them above his head (my father)
Invite people round for dinner and then be bloody rude to them the whole evening (my father)

Not sure how my mother put up with him, frankly! She was great!

My Mum used to go through the (Primary) school lost property to get me a 'new' p.e kit and new school jumpers.

Hated the fact I'd eventually sit next to a kid whilst wearing his/her jumper or p.e shorts...

Lick her hanky then wipe "muck" off my face, leaving me with a face that, whilst looking clean, was actually covered in saliva.

We used to call that a "spit-wash" - Quite disgusting really.

Thank God for baby-wipes.

I was on a Scout camp, my first as an APL. About half way through during the morning Parade our leader read out a letter he had received from a parent, the letter was explaining that all the teddies were missing the boy terribly and mumsy and dadsy were tucking them in at night.

Guess who the letter was for.

I'm a twin. When I was younger my mother used to try and convince other parents we were telepathic. This is generally how it would go.
"Yes, the Nibbles are telepathic aren't you boys?"
"No"
"Yes you are, you can feel each other's pain. You know when each other is upset don't you"
"No"
"Yes, you can. You are telepathic"
And on and on

My Dad used to do a thing which for some reason I found really embarrassing but only cos I didn't know what it was from. In fact I think my mate told me his Dad did the same which was strange. Anyway, whenever I had mates round we'd be up in my room playing with Zoids or transformers or some such bobbins, he would poke his head round the door and say...

"Good luck. We're all counting on you"

and disappear. Brillaint but embarrassing as he did it so much. So much.

It's good, but it's not right.
