[Misc] Things your parents said that surprised you

Dad (RIP) in about 1990: "That? Oh, I got that after we were shot down over N Vietnam". He was in the RAF.

Mum (last night): "I hate Claudia Winkleman. I could shoot her. I hate, hate, hate her". She (my mother) is the most mild-mannered person I know.

Claudia's got great hair though eh?

I'll make the 'you're adopted' joke just to get it over with early.

That's the ad that prompted the outburst. Mum got extremely agitated. My partner started laughing out loud at her.

Thought it might be, that is an annoying ad!

My Dad gets equally irrationally angry whenever Ant and Dec come on TV so you can imagine, he's angry quite a lot of the time!

This is a problem easily solved... no ITV = no Ant & Dec.

It's a policy that solves many, many other similar problems too :lolol:

My dad, who was ex BTP, still comes out with amazing stuff, of characters he's met during his career.
Some I can never mention, but on one such occasion he had to humour his Sgt, as I had been caught mucking about on the train coming back from Albions FA Cup final v Manure.
Basically 6 of us couldn't find a seat, so we bunked down in a first class compartment, one of my so called mates decided to unscrew a light bulb and lob it about.
As bulb flew through the air to one of the others, he missed and it smashed on floor.
Cue my dads Sgt and a PC, asked for all our names knowing who I was, decided to act all **********.
Next station I got off, phoned my dad to let him know of events.
Let's just say I never went to the replay, and I learnt a new lot of swear words courtesy of my dad :lolol:

I was being measured up for a bike once and, I'm not sure why, my Dad asked 'where's your penis', Mum immediately responded 'the same place as yours', which surprised me because it wasn't in his trousers at all.

When I was sixteen in the early seventies(very early seventies) my father said to me"This country has had it boy piss off abroad. That is the only advice he ever gave me.

My Mum, RIP on watching the ice skating the year that Torvill and Dean won, after a prior competitor fell over ' the Ice must be slippery tonight'

When my daughter was born my mother said she thought I was disappointed because I wanted a boy :shrug:

I told her I didn’t know where she heard that because it wasn’t true. She said I had bought a pair of mini football boots because I thought a baby boy was on the way.....I definitely did not buy any football boots and didn’t mind if we had a boy or a girl.

So, which country did you arrive here from?

Funny you should say that

My dad asked me if I wanted to see Ike and Tina Turner when they came to the Dome. I was 12 years old and had never heard of them so I said no. A few years later I was kicking myself for turning it down.

It was a surprise because it wasn't my dad's sort of music at all

You look like the milkman. That can’t be true, you had an affair with the butcher. :shrug:

Your mum seems 'sound as a pound' to me and her judgement is spot on. :thumbsup:

"The reason your father has such bad sinus problems is because of all the cocaine he took in the 1960s" Was told this around 1987 :ohmy:

My dad's advice when he sent me off to boarding school in my early teens. 'At school you may be tempted to do certain things. Don't. You will feel very dirty afterwards' No clarification of what these things might be was offered.

When I was about five my Dad said he wanted me to learn an important lesson. He got me to stand a chest of drawers and told me to jump because he would catch me. So I jumped, he stood back, and I crashed to the floor.

I cried and asked him why he didn't catch me when he said he would.

'That's your lesson,' he said. 'Trust no-one'.
