Olly - you must surely be my sister. We had the same parents.

Except Mom & Dad never said #5 to me. Hmmmm they said that to you?
 
Oh my parents did but they add "And we can make another one just like you !"
 
Did they Vicki? Make another one just like you?
 
I have said quite a few of these myself...

Very funny Olly!
 
Yea they did, and even though they didn't take me out , they did try twice and that's how I got my sister and brother. Neither are just like me, they must have broke the mold after I was born.
 
olly, love it.
i love your avator too.
 
Love the avatar too!
 
Lol,i've said a few of them and my parents.....seems were all very alike.

Its mental health awareness month here in the uk,so i thought avatar was good.
Not making fun of it,i have suffered from clinical depression since my teens.
 
Great, Olly.....Thanks for sharing.
 
Love it olly! Lol! My parents taught me those too!
Of course my children had to learn them too! Ha!
 
Love it Olly. My parents quit having kids after me. Wonder why? Don't any of you answer that! lol
 
This is nice!
 
Made me laugh, made me sad - just a little too close to my experience! Loved the recent photos by the way. Have same neurological symptoms as in previous year(s), but they wax and wane, still in AF, but otherwise in really good shape!
