MM Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 I get pulled on a regular basis for calling things something you should (according to the kids ) Is it just me, or do you do it as well? 1: "Put the wireless on radio 2" ....................."no dad, its a RADIO!" 2: "Stop messing, and go play in the yard"............"really dad? we thought it was a GARDEN!" 3:And one other people always comment on. When i answer the phone and its Mrs MM, it usualy starts with me saying..."Hello mate" or "Hello pal." I get the strangest looks sometimes for saying that. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not.Oops seem to have driffted into talking about teenagers... i explained to my nephew where this style came from...he seemed completely unbothered by the fact that wearing your denims round your bum hole is a black american trend, supposed to reflect the fact that you have done some hard time..... when your in prison they dont allow you to wear a belt,so you dont string yourself up and of course, denim shirt and denim jeans looking like there two sizes to big is the issue in chokey.... strange that anyone would want to look like a convict..... whats next ? striped clothing with arrows on ? bright orange guantanamo bay boiler suits ? crackers.........
