Me in one sentence

So me Ma’s here.  The house has descended into giggly chaos (just how we like it).  We have one of those silly conversations, trying to describe ourselves in five words, which turns into little five word sentences:

#1: ‘Absolutely perfect in every way’

Collective groan.

#2: ‘Short, annoying, young and beautiful’

We all nod.

Me: ‘that means “and” is one of your five words’

Hubby (interrupting): ‘He should be: “chocolate eating waste of space”‘

Collective snorts.

Ma: ‘Ooh!  Mine should be “children spoilt while you wait”‘

Hubby: ‘past my sell by date’

We all crack up

Ma: ‘ooh, I could be: “just the one Mrs Wembley”‘

Hubby: ‘#1 could be: “I talk a good game”‘

#1: ‘Mum, you can be: “I’ll settle for the cash”‘

I aim a slap at #1′s head.

#2: ‘What’s Bert?: “all I do is sleep”‘

We like that one.  Bert yawns.

Me: ‘I was thinking more like five separate words.  I’d be: “blonde, affectionate, happy, kitchen goddess”.  How’s that?’

#1: ‘Inaccurate’

Second slap.

Go on, then.  Yourself in five words.

    I shouldn’t have done / said that!

  3. English Mum says:

    Thrifty: Awww, you old romantic!!! x

    Jen: Hmmm, I think that should be mine too, or maybe ‘shit why’d I say that’? :lol:

  4. tatoca says:

    mmm… it probably depends on the day i think of it. at the moment: honest-loving-paranoid aspiring yogi

  5. Roy says:

    arrogant,overbearing,loud? very misunderstood

  6. Jennifer (Bert's No 1 Fan!) says:

    God…this is hard…I can’t decide on just 5 words.

    If I insert a hyphen does that make it 1 word?…or is that cheating?

    Ok…Martini-drinking, animal-loving, outgoing, friendly, blonde.

    P.S. How’s Bert’s nose?????

    P.P.S. Said to husband last night:

    Me: “Oh my God, Bert cut himself with a razor, the poor thing”

    Husband: “Who the hell is Bert”?????

    Ha ha!

    Right…I’m sounding like weirdo stalker now…best I sign off!

  7. jennynib says:

    Or the anti-five-word plan…

    #1 – Nah, I haven’t read it…

    #2 – May I have more broccoli?

    EM – Chicken nuggets and fries, please!

    Hubbs – I don’t really watch telly…

    Bertie – Rights to Life for Cats!!

    :P

  8. Susan says:

    Well, since ‘chocolate eating waste of space’ is already taken…

    Hm. I’ll have to think about it. Does ‘smart-ass’ count as one word or two?

  9. jennynib says:

    Hyphenated – one word! :)

  10. Kate says:

    ‘Just an ageing hippy chick!’

  11. Jay says:

    Little old grey haired lady.

    Well, I am. Underneath the red hair dye and the attitude! LOL!

  12. English Mum says:

    Tat: I can say, without doubt, that you are the first Yogi commenter I’ve ever had. Welcome!

    Roy: The last two just don’t go with the first three. I know you’re misunderstood, dahling, you’re a pussycat really!!!!

    Jennifer: Loving the hyphenation – I’m all for bending the rules. Bert’s nose is recovering thanks, although Hubby tried his outfit on for The Big Waterford Wedding this weekend and Bert came and sniffed – and bled on – the shirt cuff. Uh oh. Weirdo stalker? Never! What would he do without all this attention!

    Jen: Or for you:

    ‘a Merlot? No thank you’

    :lol:

    Or for C:

    ‘didn’t bother placing the bet’. Hee!

  13. English Mum says:

    Susan: I’m with Jen, hyphenation is cool. Come on, then!

    Kate: Just? Just?! x

    Jay: Never! My Ma did ‘short, fat, old and wrinkly’ but we wouldn’t let her have it!

    Oh, and #1′s should be ‘where has my hair gone’ after his recent back-to-school shearing!!

  14. sheepworrier says:

    ‘probably not a good idea’

  15. Wee Jen says:

    Short-arsed, chatty, pedantic, cake-lovin’ brunette

  16. English Mum says:

    Sheepy: Nice! I think that could be mine too x

    Wee One: I’ll give you cake-lovin’, but only ‘cos it’s you.

  17. toria nightingale says:

    Blueness: “so can i eat that?” “can i eat that now?”" are you gonna eat that?” “I will eat that cat.” “that is my bed now”
    take your pick lol

    me: glass of red wine please

  18. Natalie says:

    A confused yet happy chick! Well that is today, tomorrow may be different again!!!

  19. Oops… done it again ‘Numpty’!

  20. English Mum says:

    Toria: Classic! ‘Can I eat that now?’ should be the motto for greyhounds everywhere! x

    Nats: Perfect, sums you up very well! x

    KBG: Surely not?! Hee hee x

  21. Maxi Cane says:

    Mmm, a bit late in on this one.

    How about:

    Itchy, irritable, sweaty yet charming

  22. English Mum says:

    Maxi: Itchy? There are creams for that sort of thing y’know :lol:
