When I was in high school my mom caught me holding hands with a boy and when she found out I didn't *like* him she made me write him an apology letter. We hold hands whenever we see one another now. (I have actually been introduced to his girlfriends while we were holding hands - apparently he gives them warning before hand!)

So stories that were embarrassing and turned into jokes?

    After 21 years, my husband and I have so many in-jokes, we must be unintelligible to other people.

    When we were first married, I would buy Hostess cupcakes. He would eat them, complaining the whole time that they were horrible and too sugary. "Well, then leave them for me," I thought. So I bought a box and hid them on top of the muffin pans in the cupboard, secure in the knowledge that he'd never find them. And promptly forgot about them.

    He decided to make muffins and came out of the cupboard saying, "Look what I found!" It didn't occur to him how the cupcakes had gotten there until he saw the look on my face. I think it's the only time I've ever lied to him, even if it was by omission.

    We have forever after referred to it as The Cupcake Incident.

    In jokes are the funniest out there. I've got a bunch with someone and it's funnier because only we get it.

    I have years-long running jokes with homies. We've even created our own slanguage from it. That and many others along with child friendly bears and whatnot.

    I come from a family of wrestlers. I have two brothers and every family get together ends up in a wrestling match. I'm sure it looks funny if you drive by and see two or three 30+ y ear old chubby dudes rolling around beating the holy hell out of each other. We had the cops show up once because people thought we were fighting. Most of the time at least one of us ends up limping aroung for a week afterword. We're getting too old for that crap.

    It's not embarrassing but once when my daughter was younger and we lived in Junction City, KS, we had walked to the store for groceries. While walking the several blocks home, at one intersection my daughter dropped one of the bags of groceries she was carrying. It happend to have eggs in it and (I think because she had so many bags to carry) she dropped it about three times or so at the intersection. I was so mad at her because she kept dropping the bag and most of the eggs were broken by the time we got home. Later we laughed about it and we started calling that intersection "Egg Drop Corner". :laugh: :laugh:

    Today my boyfriend and I were debating gifts for a mutual friends 30th birthday. Looking at Adventure Days etc there was one he saw were you can play golf, however, my boyfriend said you need a "handicap" to play there
    I replied, " well I can sort that out as I work with people with learning dis and can get access to disability badges etc"

    The thing is I was serious. :blushing:

    He told me to look it up on Wikipedia

    You need to watch the movie "Four Christmases." There's a very interesting family in that movie that wrestles every time they get together, too!

    My grandma is notorious for causing these funny jokes in my family because she always messes up when shes talking or hears you wrong.
    My favorite story was at christmas time and there was a mexican family selling tamales in the parking lot at the grocery store. My grandma thought they were selling toilet seat covers and she kept yelling at them that she already had a toilet seat. It makes me laugh just thinking about it
