Green, that made me laugh so much! I don't think I have done that, but when you have small children you get in the habit of telling them where you are going all the time, and I lived in fear of forgetting where I was and announcing to my work colleagues that I was going to the toilet!

LOL I don't know of anybody that does this, but I do now! That's so funny! I talk to my cat, but that's usually the furthest I will go unless we go to the park to feed the ducks I sometimes talk to them. I always tell my cat how much I love him even though he is still very naughty at times like yesterday when he scratched my daughters face. I was very angry with him, but he has calmed down a lot since he was a kitten. He is still very young so hopefully he will calm down some more as he gets older. I think he is about the terrible 2's at the moment.

[quote=Green-Moo;4981]What does he chat to them about Molly? And do they listen?

Well, let's see; he always greets cats with a salutation in Spanish which is quite rude, or he hails them with, "Good child of Bast" which is the Egyptian goddess of cats; then he usually comments on the state of their fur or something else he thinks is relevant...
When he talks to crows he always addresses them as "Brujo", because it is believed in Mexican native culture that crows can really be witches in crow guise; he'll ask them if they've eaten today...
Er, you know, it sounds much less mad when you are there hearing him; actually, my hubby is about the most sane individual you are likely to meet, honest.

I've let hubby know about the "Last Cute Thing They Did" the other day when we were driving. I was mostly watching the scenery while I talked. We came to a stop about the time that I was through and looked over at him and he had the most concerned, puzzled look on his face, as if to say, "Yeah, but when do you get to the cute part?" I reiterated that what I'd told him HAD been the cute part. So he asked, "Well, are there other cute husbands as well?" When I started to talk about them, he relaxed and was happy again.

Our cat is just a year old and he is still naughty, he has such a big ego. My daughter is at university and has been studying French, she talks to the cat exclusively in French and he seems to understand it just as much as English. Of course being a cat he completely ignores the word 'no' whatever the language!

Molly, my husband is so 'unique' that I write a blog about his funny exploits. It sounds as if you would have plenty of material if you ever decide to start your own blog! Your husband sounds like a very interesting man.

It does sound like your husband keep the humor going in your household. My hubby is like that in that he is forever making songs up off the top of his head or coming up with these witty sayings. Some should not be repeated though.

My husband is such a scream. He is a Scouser and has a typical Scouse sense of humour. He is always making me and other people laugh. I have a good sense of humour as well. We tend to bounce off each other.

It could be worse actually. You could announce you were going to the toilet and ask them if they'd like to come along too or can they be trusted to behave if they stay put?!

OK, this one is embarrassing. My grandson is going through potty training, and we were in the shops when he announced he needed the loo. I rushed him back to the toilets, and he started getting a little upset when I put him on a strange one. My daughter has this little mambo-song she does with the kids that goes "peepee in the potty". When in Rome, do as the Romans, eh? I started singing for all I was worth, and soon my grandson was singing and laughing at Grandmama dancing around like a loon, and eventually we got the business done and we went back out looking for my daughter. Such looks I got, and sniggers, as well; and of course my grandson yelled, "Mummy, I went peepee in the potty!"
...and this is the grandson who everyone says so resembles his uncle (my son) and grandpapa (my husband)...they're right, you know...
