Good morning, blogging friends! I am slow starting this Monday morning, so I'm going to give you the next installment of my "Funny Stories about our Parents" theme that I've asked others to guest post about.
But first, welcome to all my new followers!! I am so excited to see you all this morning! Big kisses and hugs all around, unless that would scare you off because you are the type who needs your personal space. In that case, I'll just smile and wave. I'll get my mind working shortly to give you all a Talkative Taurus original.
I also wanted to let you all know I'm on Twitter now, so go follow me and then come back real quick. My username on there is
talktaurus since some douche has the talkativetaurus name I wanted. Or you can let me know what yours is and I'll go
stalk follow you.
So on to the guest post. Mynx over at
Dribble was kind enough to send me something about her Mom. She has been a huge supporter of mine since I started blogging, and she actually let me post on her blog as well. That was my first guest blog, and everyone seemed to think it was pretty funny. If you didn't see it, go over there and
check it out. I'm sure you'll want to go follow her anyway, because she rocks! Enough of my rambling.... Here's Mynx!
Now everybody knows about Dad jokes. The really bad ones, like when you drive past a cemetery and Dad would say "look, the dead centre of town" pause for effect, then laugh at his own cleverness. Funny the first and maybe the second time, but after that a little cringe worthy.
My Dad didn't do a lot of "dad jokes" thankfully, but my mum had a joke she would roll out at pretty much every function and get together. She would say it was the only joke she could remember.
So time for me to share it with you. Possible you may already know it, but too bad.
Two statues, a boy and a girl, had stood, gazing at each other, in a city park for 100 years.
One day an Angel came down from Heaven and said to them "For 100 years you have stood here, in all weather, and I have been instructed to bring you to life for one hour only, so you may do what you want together."
With that there was a flash of light, the statues came to life, and jumping down off the plinths, grabbed each other's hand and ran giggling into the bushes.
There was much rustling and laughing, groaning and more giggling and half an hour later they came out of the bushes, cheeks flushed and looking very pleased with themselves.
The Angel smiled and said to them "Back already? You still have 30 minutes left."
The boy statue looked at the girl statue and as she grinned at him, he grabbed her hand and they ran back into the bushes.
More rustling and giggling came from the bushes, and the Angel, unable to resist her curiosity, quietly crept over to have a little peek.
Peering in to the bushes she heard the girl statue say to the boy statue.
"Okay, now it is my turn to hold down the pigeon, and your turn to poop on it"
Yes I know it is silly, but I still love it.
Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your blog. I was so honoured to be asked.
Mynx
