OH REALLY??

At my age I think I’ve finally realized 
that not everything I’ve been told is true, lol.


Here are just a few.  Add your own!


I’ll meet you there at noon.
This won’t hurt a bit.
Sure we’re moving, but we’ll stay in touch.
I know how you feel.
Just wait and see; dad will be mad at you.
I know it hurts, but you’ll get over it.
Listen to this song, you’ll love it!
This product sells itself.
It’s really easy to get there.
You’ll poke your eye out with that thing.
I’m not going to tell you that again.
Wow, that dress is so slimming.
You haven’t changed a bit.
Nice hairdo.
This is going to hurt me more than you.
I’ll pay you next week, ok?
Oh, it was nothing – glad to do it.
Yes, you can, it’s just like riding a bicycle.
I won’t keep you but a minute.
The doctor will be right with you.
I wasn’t napping – just closing my eyes.
I never shop there.
Someday, you are going to thank me for this.
Oh no, your kids don’t bother me.
We hardly even watch television these days.
You can’t fool me.
I wouldn’t dream of telling.
I did the best I could.
I’ve just gotten used to the snoring.
We’ve just been so busy lately
This is so much fun.

Ha Karin.... I've heard most of these... Had to laugh at the napping one since I constantly say to George: "I'm not asleep. I'm just resting my eyes".... ha

And the one about the dressing looking slimming is one I've heard.... Hmmmm--what do they really mean???? ha

Cute post..
Hugs,

The one about not sleeping, just resting my eyes is my dear hubby's fav phrase to me!! Meanwhile, he's breathing deeply and snoring softly! LOL I know, total relaxation! Off to work here for a few days! Have a good one!

I cringe whenever someone makes the comment about something being as easy as riding a bicycle. I ride a bicycle now whenever I can take a break and let me tell you, those last few miles are never easy. And then there were those stitches I got back when I was a kid learning to ride a bike in the first place. Hmm. Not so easy after all.

The phrase that makes me say "Oh, yeah?" inwardly is, "Watch him/her/it for me. I'll be right back." :)

Just thought of another one for your list (oooh, I love this little fun activity!).

"If you let me have the pet I will take care of it all by myself."

Don't bother asking me why this one came to mind. lol

Great list and oh so true! The one I always think about is when someone says we have to get together and catch up. Honey, it aint gonna happen. I can barely catch my breath much less 'catch up'!

LOL!

GOD CALLED HIM HOME

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

ARTIFICIAL OR REAL?

Image
The pastor made comments about the lovely flower arrangements decorating the front of the church. He used them as an excellent illustration about being real! They looked deceptively real, but were in fact artificial, fake, and phony. Not all things, or people for that matter, are the real thing. Imitations are passed off as the real thing everywhere one goes. Fake flowers and fake people can deceive us, but thankfully not for long. Counterfeit coins or counterfeit Christians – neither can be taken at face value. Being totally acquainted with the real thing, however, will give us the discernment to know when something or someone is fake! As I mulled over this picture, other thoughts crowded my mind. In our sanctuary, there is no access to natural light streaming in through beautiful, wide or stained glass windows. Even a child knows that without natural light real plants cannot grow. The reason we don’t have too many windows is probably because we fear they would invite vandalism...
