I've told you a million times, don't exaggerate.

Daddy:      "Can you order me some orange paper."
Mummy:   "Are you sure?  It took 15 years to use the last pack."
Daddy:      "That's it then.  We may as well just shut up shop then."

On a trip to the cinema:
Daddy:      "And then they both insisted on an icecream at a million pounds."
Mummy:   "The trick to good exaggerating is to make it almost believable.  Try again."
Daddy:      "OK.   Five hundred pounds.  Each."

Describing being tired:
"Oh I've suddenly hit a cliff."    *yawns dramatically*

On coughing:
"I suddenly had a weird coughing fit.  Like someone was roasting peppers on an oven.  Like mustard gas.  Very strange."

Mummy:   "There are a million flying ants in the room."
Daddy picks up four and throws them out of the window:   "There you go, only 9996 to go."

"It's bloody hot.  It's fan weather."  (It's 15c)

Daddy:     "It's so hot in here, I can't f-in breathe."
Mummy:  "Stop swearing."
Daddy:     "That's what this f-in heat does to me.  I feel like I'm about to go into a coma."

"It's alright for them. they get like ninety hundred days credit."   (Isn't that about 24 years?  I want an account with whoever gives those terms.)

"I'll get you a price but it won't be today cos we are about 3 days behind."

Knocked his hand running across the garden:
"When you're doing 20 miles per hour it really hurts."

"I want to buy this off Ebay but it's probably about a thousand pounds postage."

Stranger on phone:   "Are you open Saturdays?"
Daddy:                      "No.  Thank god.  We get burnt out enough in the week."

After going into the printer room and finding 3 delivery notes:
"It's like Armageddon out there.  No-one's been near the printer since last Thursday."

After spending 2 minutes holding on the phone at 9.30am:
"Well that's half a day wasted."

One person phones in work sick:
"The NHS have got nothing on us.  They think they've got it bad, they wanna try working here."

Trying to make sense of an email:
"I'm just trying to get a grip on reality."
