Well this story is quite a funny one I think and even make me laugh today still.  

Quite some time ago we had the air raid sirens which normally advise us if there has been an oil leak or possible gas explosion.  They had been newly installed that day and had been tested earlier.  During the evening they went off again and could not be stopped.  Loads of people on twitter and other social sites trying to find out what is going on.  In the meantime my poor son who was rather anxious about it all stated that there could be a salami coming.  I had to say visions of a huge sausage coming did cross my cartoon like mind for a moment or too.  I then sat down and said did you mean Tsunami?  

He says yes mum that's what I said....

Hi

I will never forget when my son was younger we both has terrible colds.  

Waiting in the Surgery he asked "mum what should I say to the doctor I have".

I being the joker said "tell him you have man flu"

We were called and when the doctor asked my son "what's wrong" my nice son said politely "I have man flu but mummy has women flu too".

That will teach me to be cheeky and certainly made the doctors day we were all laughing and it still brings a smile to my face when remembering this.

Hope you enjoyed reading this.
