We loved to eat our mum's food more than our own. I still remember the wild goose chase my mum would send us. When we finished eating, we will wait till she wants to eat her own and we come crying (I was 4 then) she would send us to go outside the gate and call her 'omuru nwa eri nni' meaning (a mother who should not eat) and we innocently run out and will be shouting the phrase for minutes. Before we come back, she will finish the whole food. You need to see where mum counts money, she will spit on her fingers to make it stick and thus count qiucker, one day my brother gave her a very big sum, I then went and fetched some water cause I don't want her to suffer dehydration. 2 Likes |

This thread is very funny!!!!!!! My father sent us to evening lessons and we did a test me and my brother scored 50% and my Dad had earlier told us that any grade less that 90% is unacceptable was in his house so I and my brother went to the store and bought a new exercise book and red pen borrowed the best grade scorer during the test her book and re-copied everything then re-mark it with out hand with a large good. Reaching home we showed our father the test we did thinking that he will not find out. My Dad congratulated us and set another similar test but changed the figures this time I and my broda could not even solve half of the questions. That night hell was let loose he flogged the living dead out from us and made us to do toad jump which is (nwa awo jump). I still miss those old funny days. My mother was spanking us and a visitor came to visit us she stopped and we were happy that the presence of the visitor will do something and when they left she will forget all the flogging do you know that that was the beginning of Armageddon immediately she saw then off and came back she continue from where she stopped. When I reminisce about the old days I can't stop laughing 1 Like |

As for me, i cant really remember any of the funny things my dad do. All what i know is that each day my dad will just sit on the verandar playing POOL. Every SUNDAY morning, he will tell whoever cares to listen that he is going to Buy a bag of RICE with his winnings when the result is out. Only to be dissapoint over and over again. In the Evenings of such days he usually goes about murmoring the words "ONE NUMBER CUT" "IF NOT FOR THIS OR THAT NUMBER". This has made my Dad a poorer man to this day. Right now, am just trying my best to give my life a meaning. The road has been rough for me, but with persistence i will surely achieve my goalssssssssssssss. 2 Likes |

« #6 on: March 05, 2010, 04:55 PM » @Aisha I can't finish the laughter for you and your popsie today, the man said that Ferguson should give you the allowance since you rejoiced for him. Fathers are just something else. Another one was the day I and my mum was watching T.V with my dad the next thing we heard was what sounded like a frog (ie dad farted) I and mumsy got scared and looked at dad my dad then asked o belu ka awo (meaning did it sound like a frog) me and mumsy laugh die that day @Skybeauty OMG -----did he really say that, I no fit die for laughter. Only fathers can make one laugh like that, they can be sweetly mischievous when they want to be. Still remember my grand mum of blessed memory miss her direly during the tyme she was staying with us one day we had a guest and as they were about to go said we should pray with the TV still on but the volume reduced be4 d prayer we were watching wrestling, but during the prayer my grand mum exclaimed iru adura wo len gba yi, se eni wa la won ki won to no ra won pa ni, meaning (which kind of prayer are u guys praying won't you seperate dis people be4 dey beat dem selves to death) men dat day we 1 laugh die @D-source Your granny wan kill me with laughter. |

@Hannydarl Your dad sure is the hippiest dad in town--------I no fit die for laughter Ok Dad and mum eating Eba from thesame plate is a recipe for disaster. Mum was brought up to eat the available meat after finishing the eba, our dear dad wasn't brought up that way. . . you know the rest! @Denzel Oh my God, did he finish all the meat? Poor your mummy!
@Aisha There's really no dull moment with your pop and mum---Can you really believe that there's no wedding today? back when i was in nigeria @Lexzy Baba Do we have the same father? When he farts then my father will say that we tell him "Nnoo"( meaning "welcome", this according to him is because he just removed some diseases from his body. While watching his pm news at the end of a day's work, he will ask you to go and get his bathing stuffs ready for him, the bathing stuffs will stay for some hours there. He will finish dinner and watch his television into the night with us all. When he starts feeling sleepy, he will suddenly get on his feet and on his way dashing to his bed, dare to ask him "Dad, Are you not taking your bath again"? His reply in defense of his not having the energy to go for his bath is this question "Adalu m nsi?" (Meaning "Did I fall inside s-h-i-t?" Oh my God, how come I am just stumbling into this thread now, it's very enriched with true laughter of true family love and it made my evening. |

Re: Funny Things Parents' Do That Makes You Chuckle! by Somatic(m): 2:51am On Jan 14, 2011 |
So enjoying this thread. My own case is that when we were younger (still very much in practise anyways), Mum had this habit of using past misdeeds in xplaining Bible topics during devotions. As far ure nt the one under discussion, u go laff tire. And prayer nko? It goes lyk this God in heaven, IK haz sinned again. (narrates wth dtail, the sin in question). He's trying me O. Help him repent or ife m ga-eme ya enh (what I'll do 2 him). Even our pets r nt spared. "Pego is misbehaving. She poos everywhere, tears clothes & does not eat. I'm tired of beating her. I will dispose her O." We go chuckle till prayr end. 2 Likes |

lol @ all. My uncle usually makes us laugh when we were much younger. He will ask you to prepare garri (eba) for him, maybe by 9am. He can ask you for that eba more than 10 times even when you have reported to him that his eba is ready and set on the dining table. It doesn't surprise us again (, we realized this much later) to see the eba he asked you to prepare by 9am on the dining table by 6pm untouched! , He is a hardworking printer. |

This happened only recently.My mum wanted to send a picture to someone's phone via multimedia messaging..the intended recipient was in London while we're in Manchester.All effort to send the picture by this means proved abortive. While still trying to figure how the picture would get to the person, mum shouted excitedly 'we could send it via bluetooth'..on hearing that I burst into laughter,thinking my laughter was outta amazement..she blurted 'You think I don't know about bluetooth and the likes..I'm very advanced in technology o,don't think you're the only one that knows all' at this point I started laughing hysterically..after a few mins,I calmed down and explained that bluetooth could only be used if the intended recipient is very close by to which she replied 'oh ok'.. It was very funny though |

I remember when mum used to cook stew and she tastes it and i also beg to taste, she will put the spoon in the stew and pretend she didnt notice me, later she remove the spoon and tell me to come and take, "foolish me" i will spread my hand and she will press the hot spoon on my hand. Serious training then, miss her a lot 1 Like |

Akuviv: My dad speaks too much grammer infact he does not spare our God even when praying. His prayers are so lengthy hence must times I end up sleeping before he rounds up his prayers! My mum preaches for over 30 minutes and my dad picks offence. We rejoice at this development thinking my dad will offer a short prayer to no avail! On numerous occassions they wake me up at the end of the devotion but on this particular day they left me on my knees till about 2am! Gosh I could not stand properly cos my whole body ached and mosquitoes dealt with me seriously (the mosquitoes actually woke me up). This did not stop me from sleeping during devotions until one day my dad asked me to kneel down, he asked everyone to stretch their hands towards me and pray to cast out every demon in me. WO, It was not a small prayer that day o. My father speak grammer say e dey cast out demon for over 20 minutes because I dey sleep during devotion! I did not find it funny but my elder brothers struggled without success not to laugh. Boy my knees ached! I don't know the most annoying, the lengthy prayer, my aching knee and embarrasment or my siblings laughing at me! Thank God I can laugh at those times nowI love this... i don laugh tire for office 1 Like |
