I do simple things such as comment that some hot actor can "put his shoes under my bed anytime", or say something like "Don't you think it's about time they legalize pot?".. just love to see their little eyebrows shoot up-lol.

My wife and I have very open communications with all of our adult children. There isn't anything that we can't talk about or discuss. When we have them all over for dinner or for holidays, every once in a while their conversation will turn to old relationship issues, boyfriends/girlfriends, husbands, wives, etc. That's when I'll give my wife a wink and she knows whats coming next. I'll throw in something about our sex life (never anything too explicit) and we always get the same response...EEeeewww. Remember, (according to the kids) old people aren't suppose to have sex beyond the age of 50.
They fall for it every time but we all get a good laugh out of it anyway. Yes, I do it just for the shock value and to see the wide eyed expressions on their faces.

What you said about "that actor can put his shoes under my bed anytime" brings back a good memory of my mother. The only time I ever heard her say that I was shocked. I couldn't believe what she said. I was young and naive but learned later that I could feel the same way about a few famous actors.
Thanks for that good memory.

Not on purpose! I forgot to pack underwear for a trip to a family reunion. My grown-up married daughter heard me complaining to my husband that I didn't have any underwear, I needed to go buy some. She turned bright red and said "Mom!" Other relatives caught on and all day long they teased her. They would lean in close and tell her, "I'm not wearing any underwear." Poor girl. She was blushing all day and the rest of us were laughing at her expense.
Yep, we are a high class bunch. LOL

Nah... My young'ens are never surprised by what I do... They will duck now and again, when someone says something that they know Mom will have something to say about! I've always been pretty outspoken and done pretty much what I had to, to defend anyone I feel is being smacked when they are down! I just can't abide that type of thing... Defend your own always! I may go down, but they know, I will go down fighting!

One time I did a little something that they still talk about to this day. A dear friend of mine is a hairdresser and runs her own salon. I went to her salon one day to pick her up to go to lunch. While I was there waiting, I was admiring some wigs that were on display and jokingly said that I've always wanted to be a blonde. Well, she said, let's see how you'd look and tried it on me. Of course, after being gray for many, many years, it looked very unnatural. We thought it would be funny to get my hubby's reaction, so she let me borrow the wig. She put it on me, styled it and I wore it home. When I pulled in the drive, I noticed my daughter's car was there. As I walked in the door, I announced the new me . . . my daughter screamed "mother, how could you?" and my hubby howled with laughter. Doris Day, I am not!

When I taught high school in Texas I would sometimes get my students rolling with laughter by (on purpose) talking gansta-style, but with my New England accent. They would beg me to do it again and again, but I'd save it for special occasions. Of course, there would be all the accompanying hand motions and postures with it.

Every chance I get. They have learned to ignore me so now the grand children have to pay the price. Not much I can do to get the young boy but the teen age girl, what fun i have. Poor thing, glad she love me anyway. LOL

No, for some reason, my kids are never shocked by the things I do or say. It is kinda of eerie in a way.

Whenever I can! I can't think of anything in particular right now, but there have been times I've opened my mouth to show her what I'm eating..... she asked.
That's funny Southern Comfort.... my husband does the cheek licking thing too!

I "threek" them. A made-up name for a karate chop one of the kids used when he was about 7 yr.s old. So I threek them to stir them up. Also walk up and give them a full tongue lick down the cheek just to get a big "ooh" "gross" from them. Once they reported me to my primary care physician for acting out of the norm. Plus I pinch them on the butt. Luckily my Doc laughed and said she pinches her kids too. But did say f I tended to do it I could be suffering highs and lows and might need a chrink. Only if it was quite out of the ordinary behavior from me. Imagine! ordinary Me?
