Archive for the Wisdom of my Daughter Category

We are sat watching Project Runway and a contestant is talking, I don’t like her so cant recall her name, but it’s the one with the curly hair that looks like someone out of Fame.

Pippa says, her voice is so monochrome. She pauses, giggles and says, I meant monotone.

Pippa is sat with her boyfriend and see’s Thierry Henry on the television.

His name is up on the screen and so asks  how to pronounce it.

Is it Thairy Hairy?

Me and my daughter were sat down last night and an advert for a Twix came on, due to the diets we are all chocolate needy at the moment so there was various mmm’s. Pippa said, oh I would love some such chocolate, and I replied, I would love a boost. To this Pippa said,“I liked them when they had gargantuan”.“Gargantuan”? says I.

“Gargantuan” says Pippa.

“Don’t you mean Guarana?”

Yeah that’s it she says.

Hold on I have another one.

Talking about someone that had trouble walking.

Pippa: “They had to use a Xyloframe”

Another funny tale from my daughter.

Me: Thinks —*I think I will call Lisa*, *calls Lisa*

RING RING RING

Pippa: “Hello, Lisa has left her phone at home today”
Me: “Lisa”?
Pippa: “It came up as A peter, so I thought it knew that it wasn’t you”
Me: “You thought that the phone knew that it was a different Peter”?

Last night we were watching dead like me and the main character was giving a
little speech about post it notes, at this point my daughter gives out a
little chuckle and says, “she said it wrong, she called it post it, when it
is po-sticks” I replied, no dear it is post it, she said that doesn’t make
sense as you stick it, not post it.

Picture the scene, we are in a pub, having a pub lunch when Pippa pipes up…it smells of beer in here.

The wisdom of my daughter reared its head last night, she didn’t go to
Manchester in the end, all to do with Chris her boyfriend having a lecture
today and wouldn’t be able to spend time with her. Anyway.
We are sat watching Eastenders and she has her hair over one eye, I said
“doesn’t it irritate you and obscure your view having hair over your eye
like that”, she says “no, it identifies me to the emo folk”. What followed
was half an hour of me and her mother taking the plss comparing the emo folk
to hobbits.

This is number 1 in an infrequent series of dumb things my daughter comes
out with.

We were playing trivial pursuit and the question is on what continent is
ulleroo, or however it is spelled. She said I dont know any continents, we
said just name a continent, she said britain, we said britain isnt a
continent, she said can they make it one? She is very pretty though.

What I find ludicrous is that my kid can spen till 2-3am talking to her
buddy on MSN, get up this morning and talk to her, be meeting her to go to
the cinema in an hour but also be on the phone for 20 minutes to her just, I
have been trying to get through for 20 minutes to give her some
instructions, in the end I call her mobile and get through, then the task of
pulling teeth happens that I need her to download a bittorrent file and then
start it, aw bless her she is beautiful but she hard work at times.
She is a mad funeral for a friend fan, as you know, me lisa and kid all are,
but anyway she says she would love to live in wales because she loves the
accent, we told her to f*** off as she knew nothing about wales and apart
from barmouth she has never been there, she said, yes I have, we said where?
she said…Devon!

Like I said she is beautiful.
