Horrible DBH!

Hmm - reminds me of the time my daughter came home from a history lesson in school and asked me what it was like to wear a bustle.

Or my son asking me if I bought my violin new Guiseppe Maravelli 1890,

Our boys used to say, "Back in the mists of time when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Dad was just a little baby!"

One of the kids I used to teach food tech asked me if there were electric mixers around when I was alive!!

Not quite the same thing, but while visiting my DD, we were all sitting round the table having dinner. We were discussing a recipe from years ago that my mother used to make. I told my DD that I had tried to remember it when she was a little girl, but couldn't get it right. DGD spoke up and asked, "why didn't you google it Granny". She looked rather perplexed when we all laughed. We did explain , in the end.

DS:
Were you around when there were dinosaurs?
Did you see Queen Victoria when she came to Bath?.....

What did you do in the war, Granny?

I was a toddler.

I was talking about swimming one day and a client asked if I had to use a bathing machine!!

Ok, I feel a bit better now!

At least your DBH noticed you had done something to your hair, janer. When prompted, mine would have said, 'Oh sorry, you're in my blind spot'

Oh that I were really that small.

I actually prefer it when he doesn't notice. I tell myself that he doesn't care how disgraceful I look sometimes because he loves me. I think the reality is that he never looks at anything but my face when he is talking to me.

Why am I able to sneak a new dress past him every time - then when I wear something pretty old, he asks if I have bought something new?

Again, not at all the same, but one day DGD came in after school with a bunch of her pals (they were all aged about 10, if I remember correctly). They'd apparently been having 'special lessons' about 'growing up'.
DGD asked me, in front of all her pals, who were clustered around me in the kitchen, "Grandma, do you use tampons or pads for your periods?" I can't remember how I dealt with the answer, actually... !

"Were you alive when Castle Hedingham was built, grandpa?" DGS aged six asked me the other day.

Our children were always convinced that we lived in black and white when we were little, and always scoffed at the idea that my school uniform could actually have been green.

GD1 asked me if I watched my programmes on the computer when I was a little girl because I told her we didn't have TVs.

My brother used to speak about the olden days when everybody walked quickly......

I tried to convince my kids that things were black and white when I was growing up, but they wouldn't wear it!

My n asked where I was evacuated to, and did I like it. I was born in 1948!!

I have discovered the reason for it now.

It's because he came home the other night and said he overdid it in the gym, and practically had to crawl back to the changing rooms on his hands and knees. I said no, he didn't overdo it, it was going to be harder every time he went, because he would always be two days older than the last time he went. I think he had been waiting for the right moment to have his revenge!
