    My 7 year old with a list of issues as long as the street..He doesnt know what a feeling is or how to feel or how to express anything.He doesnt know the difference between hugging or hurting

    1. Twitches his nose when his glasses are sliding down too far.
    2. Puts his finger in my ear when i cry to turn off the tears( its the closest he does to hugging)
    3. Opens my eyelids in the morning just to see am I awake.
    4. Lie on the floor talking to the dog while holding her tail
    5. Takes all her( sister) dolls & takes their clothes off in case they are too warm.
    6. His bright bright ginger hair
    7. His ability to recite all multiplication & division in reverse when you simply just ask him the time or what day it is
    8. His smile - he just opens his mouth
    9. His OCDs - spotless room always
    10. Him - despite everything - for just being him.

    ( see how difficult it to describe someone when there is no feeling or emotion)

    My child.

    1. When she bursts out laughing, and can't stop.

    2. When she looks at me with a slightly raised eyebrow, and we both know what the other is thinking.

    3. Her wit. She is one of the funniest people I have ever met.

    4. The way she looks when she's asleep.

    5. Her understanding and compassion.

    6. Seeing other members of my family in her face for a second.

    7. Her behavior. She has lovely manners, and the school adore her.

    8. Her never ending curiosity in EVERYTHING.

    9. When she meets her Grandmother, she says "Yo Dude".

    10. That at 9, I still want to bite her for her cuteness.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 448 ✭✭jenny2hat


    Nick, my boyfriend :D

    1. When I know I look awful, no make up, just woke up, hair going everywhere, he still calls me gorgeous :):)

    2. He can cheer me up by just talking to me.

    3. How we never really fight :)

    4. How he cares and worries so much.

    5. How I'm pretty much constantly thinking about him. Even that makes me happy ^_^

    6. How safe I feel in his arms. No worries when he's holding me. None. Especially when just woken up ^^

    7. How respectful he is.

    8. How he gave my mam a hug the first time he saw her, resulting in her still laughing about it and liking him a lot :D

    9. How we can just talk about everything. There's nothing that's too weird. How much he listens and remembers. He'd be the first person to go to with a problem and the first person to offer advice :)

    10. How when he tickles me I laugh and scream and he's so stubborn he doesn't stop and then we laugh and he squeezes me. Just perfect really.

    You all make me sick.

    ha:) x


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,137 ✭✭✭Monkey61


    My ex-girlfriend/best friend...

    1. Her general excitement at the mere mention of squirrels, wolves, hedgehogs or Dara O' Briain.

    2. She will come to gigs/social occasions she finds very boring just so I can stare at a girl I fancy.

    3. No matter how terribly I treated her when I was having some serious mental health issues, she still loves me anyway and understands how my mind works.

    4. I can tell her absolutely everything I have done, no matter how immoral or questionable and she will never judge me and will always want me to be happy.

    5. She is a tiny girl but would happily join me in the challenge of an all-you-can-eat food type scenario - especially if it was all battered and drowned in butter.

    6. She owns a whole series of ludicrous gimmicky exercise devices that she is convinced are more health giving and useful than a run/swim or cycle.

    7. She is the cleverest person I have ever met and one of the very few people I have ever felt totally challenged and stimulated by.

    8. If I was dying and in terrible pain, I know that she would shoot me in the head if I couldn't do it myself; irrespective of the legal consequences.

    9. She can raise one eyebrow in a very expert and sinister manner.

    10. Even though relationship wise we weren't meant to be, we still adore each other and think that we will be tied together for the rest of our lives cos we are platonic soul mates.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,590 ✭✭✭Pigwidgeon


    My Boyfriend

    1. His dimples
    2. The way he operates on a totally different time frame to everyone else, being a bar man in a club, so he sleeps all day and is up all night.
    3. He can make me smile no matter what
    4. The little spot on his chest/under his arm I always lie on
    5. The way whenever he goes out without me, he pretty much always calls me on his way home to tell me how much he loves me
    6. The way when we're watching tv, he just randomly kisses the top of my head/nose/forehead every now and then
    7. Huggles in his bed warm when we know just how cold his room is outside of the bed.
    8. Him accepting everything about me, and telling me that he even loves the parts of me that irritate him sometimes
    9. That he tells me, how much I've motivated him to do stuff in the last 11 months.
    10. How excited he gets when I make him dinner, and eats every last scrap, and then laughs at me for only eating a small bit.

    In keeping with the current theme, my boyfriend Rob:

    6. He'll stay awake until I fall asleep and sometimes all night if I've been a bit over indulgent with alcohol :o

    10. That I could wax lyrical about him all day so ten really isn't a big enough number :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,390 ✭✭✭The Big Red Button


    My eight-year-old sister ...

    1. Being the youngest of seven, she's the toughest little thing you could imagine! She can totally stand up to my brothers (aged 23, 20 and 19) and all of their friends! :D She's not a bit shy.
    2. She's still a total little girly girl, loves her clothes and hairstyles. And has her own very individual style, ever since she was little she loved making "fashion statements"
    3. Her hair very nearly reaches her waist and it is silky smooth and beautiful! And also she is beautiful, like a little model.
    4. She is so caring it's adorable. She's like a little mammy to all of her friends, which is even funnier seeing as she's the youngest at home! Also she insists that when she gets married, she's going to make her husband move in with her next door so that she can keep an eye on mammy and daddy when they're old! :D
    5. She is mega-intelligent. Like, seriously. This one will go far!
    6. She loves loves loves reading. But ... not in normal places. You'd see her draped across the banisters of the stairs, or upside down on the couch with her head on the groud, our hanging from the tree or the swing set reading a book! It looks so uncomfortable, but she doesn't seem to mind :o
    7. She sleeps in my bed when I'm away, and smothers me with hugs and kisses every weekend that I come home (puppy-style! :D)
    8. She's an incredible singer, and not a bit shy about showing it off!
    9. She's got the most oddball sense of humour you could imagine, she finds really obscure things totally hilarious, and her laugh is just contagious!
    10. At the age of eight, you'd think that your personality wouldn't be fully formed at all yet. But hers is, and she is such a strong, pure little person. She has so much innocence and integrity and goodness, and I just know that those fundamentals won't change too much as she gets older. She's my girl, and she always will be! :D

    My friend Ciara

    1. The way she makes me laugh hysterically even when I'm feeling horrible.
    2. She just gets it. Always.
    3. How she insists that I really should be a man, just so she can marry me.
    4. She lets me run wild, and doesn't give out to me when I do things I shouldn't, but she's there to cheer me up when I regret things.
    5. She's beautiful inside and out, and she knows it (sometimes), but sometimes forgets how awesome she is.
    6. She makes memories.
    7. She's quirky.
    8. A complete and utter mental case, but wouldn't have her any way.
    9. She sucks at passports/ID.
    10. She has no shame.

    I like this thread!

    My boyfriend Paul:

    1. He's from Donegal- so I get a gorgeous boyfriend with the added bonuses of the accent, having somewhere to go on wee holidays and learning how to say words like "pish" and "Oh aye" rather convincinly
    2. He's a nerd, like me.
    3. He has the nicest family in the entire world.
    4. We have our own language. I kid you not. Pedestrians think we're mental.
    5. He gives the best cuddles, especially half-sleepy ones.
    6. He's never too far away on a cold rainy day (cos he lives on campus) for a kinder bueno and a cuddle
    7. He always smells lovely and always tells me I smell lovely even when I know I smell like cheese and onion.
    8. He understands me and my tendency to live in my own world, and has to remind me sometimes that "that didn't actually happen"
    9. He has an amazing smile and amazing dimples and amazing eyes and he's basically a ride
    10. He makes me so happy and even when we're threatening to kill each other, we're always laughing and I can't stay mad at him for long and he's just basically the most amazing person in the entire world. Although we give out about each other that much you'd never think it!

    Ten really isn't enough, especially when there's too many injokes that I also love that I have with him but people would actually think we were insane.
