someone has said to a kid? My husband's Mother used to tell his cousin she had a "spy fly." She could hear him unstairs creaking the floor boards, so she knew when he was in some part of the house where he shouldn't be. She knew where he was and would yell at him. He never noticed that the floor creaked because he was kind of a noisy kid. He used to ask how she knew. She told him she had a spy fly. My husband thought that was funny because he could hear the old house creak and knew how she knew. But he would just smile and not say anything.

One day his cousin went around with a fly swatter and came back triumphantly declaring, "I killed your spy fly." His Mom insisted he hadn't. But he said, "Oh yes I did! I killed all the flies in the house."

"You didn't kill them all, my spy fly is still safe."

It's funny what people tell kids sometimes. What did people tell you or someone you knew when you were a kid that was funny?

MY bf's brother had my bf's 2 girls convinced that there was a man on the moon and that the moon was truely made of cheese. He also convinced them that there was a dead body under his house and when little children misbehaved that person would come back to life and spank them and make them stand in the corner until they could behave. To this day (they are 17 and 21) they still believe that there is a body under his house. I think they have finally concluded that it does not come back to life though..lol

My son came home from school last year and i asked him what he'd had for lunch and he said he'd had " sausage in rice pudding" i thought it was so funny he'd had toad in the hole (sausage in yorkshire pudding)

That's really cute, thanks.

Toad in the hole where I live (in my part of the states) is egg in a cut-out piece of bread, so I'm glad you explained (in paranthesis). Take care.

When I was 9 or 10, my oldest sister and her boyfriend would take me for car rides or to the store or whatever. Every time we drove under a viaduct, his car horn would honk. I would ask him why the horn honked and he would say that "this car's horn automatically honks whenever we go under a viaduct or drive in a tunnel."

I thought that couldn't be right. I would say, "You are honking the horn." He would say, "No I'm not, I'll show you." Then, he'd drive to the closest viaduct and drive with both his hands up and say, "see, I'm not honking it. It's doing it by itself!"

Now, that horn still did honk, but I think he had his elbow on the horn button or something. But I tell you, I so wanted to figure out how he was doing that! Now, they live about a mile away and I told him that story not too long ago. He didn't remember it!!

That's funny! He really had you going and he doesn't remember it! But you remember it to this day! That must have been a one time thing so he forgot. My husband remembers the spy fly because it was an ongoing joke. Too bad he doesn't remember, now you'll never know for sure how he did it. It will be an ongoing mystery.

We lived in a built new 2 story house from the time I was almost 10 until I was almost 20. I soon learned all the creaking floor boards and stairs in the house and could creep around on "cat's paws" at night without disturbing anyone. Anyone meant my father who was like I am, a light sleeper with insomnia.


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (2721)   ranked 625 out of 25,855 in people  4 weeks ago

Yes, old houses are certainly creaky, a person has to be very talented to overcome the creaks! Thanks and take care


myLot reputation of 98/100. ElicBxn (7667)   ranked 1,459 out of 25,855 in people  4 weeks ago

Like I said, this house was built NEW. We were the first people to live in it and I played in the frame while it was being built! It just was that poorly made - and I've since learned there are ways to silence the creaks, but maybe my parents wanted some. Didn't stop me from learning how to get around them!


myLot reputation of 99/100. writersedge (2721)   ranked 625 out of 25,855 in people  4 weeks ago

I read so fast, I went by "new." Sorry. Yes, I looked at a house that was about 1 year old and none of it was plumb, plus the fire place didn't work. The person who built that was a do-it-yourselfer who should have know when he couldn't do it himself. Take care and thanks.
