Lets Laugh!

[ADD Mum]

Hi everyone, it’s not easy in the world right now and sometimes with our ADHD it can be more difficult also. But right now I think it’s time to have a laugh, so I want to hear your best ADHD stories, let’s be honest the best parenting stories involve our little ADHD darlings. (FYI – I’m ADD and I have a ADHD 7yr son). I’ll get us started with one of my favs.

E my ADHD son was about 3 or 4 and N was about 1, we were walking through the shops N sitting in the trolly I was helping him have a bottle E was walking beside my, there was a make-up shop in the middle of the walk way which had grooves in the panels so E sticks his finger in the grooves and runs his finger along it, I notices a young asian man leaning over the side chatting up the make-up girls, E keeps walking, I though he’ll go around him… Nope he ran his finger right over this man, unfortunately this mans hight meant E ran is finger right over his guy um… bum hole! Yep E pocked this guy right up the bum hole! The poor man jumped a mile and I just burst out laughing! E seemed a little surprised, he was completely unaware, I couldn’t stop laughing, I was trying to apologies but I was laughing too hard! I grabbed E’s hand and took of quickly, there was a cafe next and two little old ladies stopped us, they had just seen what happened and thought is was hilarious and started feeding my boys hot chips. It was a golden moment!

Funny – Do you think the Asian gentleman put it down to cultural differences ?

Because I joke a lot, when my ADHD impulse makes me say something dumb, someone will often say “Is that a joke” and I’ll think phew. I’m also dyslexic, so when I chose the wrong word from the spell checker, someone will say “Is that a joke ?” Had infinitum, ect…

Lee Mack & Bill Burr are two stand up comedians that have ADHD.

ADD mum that story has really made me laugh 😂😂😂

I’ve only just been diagnosed with adhd so I’m thinking of how past things are likely adhd related but we never knew. Most likely with talking too much/shouting out/talking loud.
When I was 4 we were on holiday in America, I’m from the UK and I said really loudly in the middle of a store ‘mother, father have you heard how these people talk’ in a very dodgy American accent 🤭😬 my parents still tease me about it now and I’m 35 😂😂
Another time in America me and my mum were talking and a family friend was sat there and said ‘it sounds so lovely but I have no idea what you two are talking about’ 😂😂 we talk so fast and this chap was real laid back and slow talking 😁

Kerrplunk – I’ll have a look at those comedians think I know Lee Mack but not the other chap 😁

My ADD gets me upset which leads to funny things. When I was a kid, I was upset my parents were drinking on New Year’s Eve, so being internalized and upset I impulsively grabbed their pack of beer and threw it off the balcony into the snow. I then told my teacher the next day.

Now we all laugh about the one time I threw their beer into the snow and told about it at school. Wonder what the teacher thought when she read my paper, Good times.

HA! Love it cultural differences!!!

OK (don’t judge me) a parent of a student of mine that I’d not seen for a long time turns up. To create appropriate rapport I blurted out the first thing that came in my head “When are you expecting the baby?” She said “I’ve just put on weight”. Thankfully said with a chuckle.
