Roger’s a love machine?

Jason’s a dead kid walking.

Grounded

Dad in the shower is where I learned the lyrics to the songs I’m obviously too young to have heard.

Reminds me of the time my younger brother and I were at a party at my Aunt & Uncle’s house. While we were playing pool, we heard their answering machine go off in a nearby alcove. My brother is an excellent voice imitator and I was a practical joker. I got the idea to change their outgoing message for them and my brother recorded, in a perfect Elmer Fudd voice, “Hewoe. We’re not home wight now; we’re chasing sqwuwee wabbits! Pweese weeve a message…”.

My Aunt & Uncle were wondering at the weird messages that people were then leaving for them for about two weeks - until they checked the outgoing message. Then WE got a call…

:-D

That is just too funny!

Thank god for voicemail with passworded message recording.

One Christmas when I was a kid I received a cassette recorder. My oldest brother was home from college at the time. While playing with the recorder, I heard him in the bathroom singing some sappy love song and making other rude but natural noises. I had no choice but to capture his performances on tape and play it back for other family members. As i recall, he was more then a little upset at me when he heard a playback of his performances.

Step one: Buy a lock for the bathroom door!

My mom did something not of a shower scean. We don’t sing in the shower. But of my dad snoring. He always claimed he didn’t. She was mischieve then and now. She recorded this and when dad’s uncle and aunt came over to play cards she sneakly played the recorder of him snoring uncle and aunt wondered what was going on. Sounded like a race car. Dad got very mad.

Come now Roger, haven’t you ever seen Home Alone? That recording could save your son’s life.

@ Kab Buch - I can relate. My husband swears he doesn’t snore and got very upset when I recorded his snoring. Even my kids would verify - they’d hear him through the CLOSED bedroom door.

[Snerk] … clever.

@ starlilies - I doubt there’s anywhere in the house where one wouldn’t hear my husband. ;)
