Freakin' Mothers

“The thread about the baby taking a bite out of a snake got me to thinking about funny things kids do to freak their mothers out.

My 12 YO nephew used to catch lizards and get them to bite down on his earlobes. The poor lizards didn't hurt him and the kid would run into the house wearing them like earrings and his Mother that HATED lizards would freak out!

The kid would die laughing and chase the Mother all over the house.

His dad and I would not be able to catch our breath from laughing.”

“Sorry but in my childhood, it went the other way around...”

“Mine was nice I miss my mother very much she was the best!

“I don't remeber trying to freak out my mom...but I have tried MY BEST to freak out my kids!!!!”

“Thread Killers! ;-)”

“Just wait SS, Treebait has some pretty stories.”

“Hey Stovie, I can tell you some doozies at the Ocala trip!”

“Dead mice in the cupboards was always a good way to get mom going.”

“Flying leaps down the staircases, trying to land on the beanbags down below...ah, the memories!

200 toads loose in the house...

:)”

“I served my kid spaghetti and told them it was worms :)

make them eat all green food on St Patricks Day”

“Dat's my girl!”

“Catching lizards in SC, then taking them home to Mi. to sell at school, only to have the cleaning lady open the box to see what made that noise...”

“I would eat it anyway!

“I got a mohawk when I was 16. Wore jackboots and black shirts and leather jacket. Looked like neonazi or something.”

“I can believe that about divinity freaking her kids out.
That woman is a hoot. ;-)”

“Oh wait, I just thought of one...this is a great story. Unfortunately, my brother did this one.

OK, so my brother goes fishing with some friends at a local lake and comes back home late. The only fish he has caught is a gar, which is a damn ugly thing with nasty, sharp, pointy teeth. So he leaves it in the kitchen sink and goes to bed.

Sometime in the middle of the night, my mom wakes up and can't go back to sleep, so she goes out to look at the fish in the fish tank, thinking it will calm her down enough to sleep. Well, the big ugly scumeater fish is out of hiding, doing it's scumeater thing, and so she gives up and goes into the kitchen to get a glass of water. She gets a glass out of a cupboard without turning on the light, then goes over to the sink, reaches over, turns on the light, then looks into the sink to get the water, sees the GAR lying there, and screams at the top of her lungs.

None of the rest of us asleep in the house wake up.”

“I still don't know why odd hair and dark clothes freak out parents.”

“Nothing tops Viva La Bam!”

“Thanks SS;)”

“My hair was any variety of colors in the 80's. I do dread to think of the clothes I wore back then though... pastels. ~shudder~”

“I did date a girl my mom thought I was going to get an STD from...lol...”

“Oh yeah, their was that time that some friends and I formed a fight club WWF type thing. That really freaked my parents out, coming home from school with black eyes, bloody lip and nose, swollen knuckles. It was kind of fun for a couple weeks, though.”

“My son wore red 3" spikes , a million bracelets....and black nail polish a few years back...I never freaked as long as he behaved.....(I would have freaked if he had tatoos and pierced anything !!!!)”

“( 3" red spikes in his HAIR)

I reread that & thought maybe some of the freaks in here would think shoes....LOL.hahahahaa”

“Well, it did sound sorta like he was getting into cross-dressing...lol...”

“LOl..no cross dressing but he did have Superman PJ's with a cape and he wore them ALL THE TIME!!!...he thought he could leap tall buildings”

“divinity - Please tell them the Superman thing was when he was little. ;-)”

“LOL..yes...before he was even in school......

now my middle daughter used to invite friends over & MAKE them watch"The Exocist"...one night we were all in the LR watching & she had a bunch of kids over...boy and girls....they were about 15yrs old...and the part where the priest is tying her lags back to bed post and Linda Blair sits up behind him......my daughter screamed bloody murder.....scared the HELL out of everyone.....even the boys were crying...( that is my beautiful, wonderful daughter that I call the "Evil One")”

“My creepy kids and some visiting cousins filled my coffee cup with big furry caterpillars--THEY still think it was funny!”

“All this talk about Mom man I miss my mother so much she was the best friend that I ever had.

“When I was a teenager I used to ask my Mom questions about stuff instead of doing it, like:

Mom, What would you do if I pierced my nose?

Mom, What would you do if I got a tattoo?

Mom, What would you do if I dyed my hair purple?

Ya gotta remember that this was 25 years ago, not too many purple haired tattooed, nose pierced teens walking around then! But just the question would get her!

One thing I really did was started buying Playgirl when I was 18-cause I could!”

“My son and his friends start talking about masterbating when they want me to leave the room.....
it works.....

and my son makes me scream & laugh & cry when he sings songs from South Park....”

“I don't know what scared really scared me so far? I think when I found out that my son eats strange stuff to find out what it tastes like (catfood, worms, crickets, nasty stuff like that)

He also scared me once when he let the big ugly toad go in the car while I was driving.

Hair and stuff would not scare me.I ignore it, it's just a phase. If you igonore it, it will pass”

“Yeah, Gem but could you ignore Playgirl? **grin**”

“Whenever I found a particularly large, hairy, ugly, (non-poisonous) spider I would carry it into the house hiding it behind my back in my hand and release it on the kitchen table. Did I mention my Mom hates spiders (hysterically?)


That was fun until she wised up but by then I had found out that she was afraid of bats and that we had bats in our attic.

By the time she wised up to that I had already found out she was afraid of snakes....

You get the picture. Never a dull moment in my childhood.”

“BTW, that's how I found out my DAD's afraid of snakes. Bwahahahahahahaha!

They've said it before many times, I'll say it again for them. It's a wonder they survived my childhood.”

“(skullcap is scaring me...)”

“I used to fart or burp really loud at the dinner table. It would tick my mum off to no end, but I kept doing it because my dad would laugh uncontrollably every time. Yes, my parents are now divorced.”

“Cameron is still a little bugger, but a cute one. Back when he was only about 2 or 3 he was a meany...

went to the store once. He got on my nervs because he wanted something and got pretty angry. You know they kind a angry as some rotten kids get. Well, I slapt him across his arm. Just a little, not much, really!

He started to scream really loud, yelling the words "ouch, you hit me!!" man, everyone in that dang store looked at me. I wanted to wip his little behind back then. I think I did too once I was in the car. Dang kids!!!

and yeah, Cameron does things like fart in the store and then yell real loud "mom you farted". Yeah, he does stuff like that.”

“I have had a great time with my kids!!!!”

“divinity...yes, we do have a great time. They are a pain once in a while, but nothing but fun at the end. I wouldn't want to miss any moment. Not one. Not even the "ouch you hit me" one.

I guess that's because Cameron is much like me. a pain the behind.”

“When I was really young I'd climb to the very top of the 40' pine in front of our house. I'd climb high enough to poke my head out the top, she'd freak.

Another time in high school I had the idea to start raising hamsters. At one point I had 6 cages and 54 hamsters. I wouldnt freaked out was her reaction, Shock horror disgust, thats more like it!”

“Skully, my parents frequently call me to come over and catch some critter in or around their house. They have a nest of black king snakes under the front of the house, so I periodically nab one as it crawls out of the little hole and relocate it up the road. Those are some ornery snakes!”

“That's all I was really doing, I swear. Just relocating them.













To the kitchen table.”

“I don't know about the kitchen table but imagine the reaction if one or two popped out of the dishwasher....

Actually, something that bothers me as much as my Mom is finding cockroaches in the dishwasher. Even worse is finding cockroach bits stuck to all the dishes that have been run through. Now that's gross.”

“You're right, that's nasty. I do wish you all could have been there the day the leopard frog jumped halfway across the room and onto her back. That was some funny stuff!

Try catching one of those in the house some time.”

“I didn't do much to freak out my mom, but I do remember the look on her face when my brother pulled this one. He faked being sick to stay home from school. She was taking his temperature and walked out of the room. in the meantime, bro took the thermometer and put it in the radiator. Imagine the look on her face when she came back in and it was 108 degrees!

As far as I go, the most I ever freaked mom out was when I called her from Florida and told her I was jumping out of planes. At least, I waited until after the first jump to tell her...”

“I caught a mouse in the yard, took it in the house in a cottage cheese carton and, well, it got loose. I guess she wasn't so much freaked as more like rolling her eyes, "not again" type thing.”

“My folks did one of those 'eye roll' things one night too, Lizs. They went out and when they came home, I had just finished lining the ceiling of my room with aluminum foil to reflect the red light bulbs I replaced in the fixtures. That was just before I bought my first black light for all the posters.”

“HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY!
