theres a little kid who is the son of my wifes friend who calls me grandad would you believe even though im no relation whatsoever and im far to young to be a grandad.
anyway it ends up i pick him up every day and take him out. he is absolutely devoted to me and hangs on every word i say.
he says "i love you grandad" and means it. am i a millionaire or what cos the little git has got me being a grandad and i dont like it now if he calls me by my first name
but i smile most when he says "my grandad doesnt have tea he has to have beer"
Yep, along similar lines to the past 2 answers - my son and my daughter - their hugs, their kisses, their laughter .....infact everything.
I suffer from quite serious depression and I know that sometimes I struggle to raise a smile, but they are guaranteed to lift my mood without speaking a single word.
My friends, just the other day I did a small favour for my mate, as you would and didn't expect anything, she came round with flowers and chocs for me, a few beers for hubby and told us we're a godsend as friends, quite choked me.
Also my little boy, who comes and gives me a big hug every morning to start my day off, that makes me smile.
For some reason I always involuntarily smile whenever anyone winks at me, I blush and simper like an eighteenth century school mistress even it's just some dirty old sleazebag winking! It's quite an annoyance but it also makes me laugh at how ridiculous I am!
Yesterday I laughed for ages because I was drinking an 'Innocent' smoothie and I was reading the ingredients and it said:
2 Mangoes
3 crushed Oranges
1 Pineapple
1 Public Library*
And it had a little star next to it like that.. so I looked for the little star on the bottle.. Like when it has a litte V for vegitarians and I found the star on the other side and next to it, it said:
* Shhhh
Hahahaha! I was laughing for ages!
Anyway... the little things that always make me smile are:
When the guy I like at work stops by my desk for a chat
When people use nicknames for me (nice ones)
When we get a sexy courier or engineer come in the office
When I hear my favourite song
When I see a certain someone post in AB
cazzz - I loved that. Give your little man a thumbs up from my little men.
I smiled last night when my youngest had his arm around me for the whole time I was reading him a story.
Today, I'm smiling just listening to them play while I'm on the 'pooter - they invent the coolest games!!
Helping someone out that makes them smile....getting lovely text messages off admireres, my cat because he is just so funny and I love him to bits - oh and having my AB questions answered nicely lol !
There's one line in an episode of Fawlty Towers that makes me laugh out loud EVERY time I think about it. When Basil is in hospital with his head bandaged from the moose falling on it, and he's gone a bit loopy. The fat matron is leaning over him, tucking in his sheets, I think, and he just watches her for a bit, then says, "God you're ugly."
I'm laughing now and my children want to know why. How can I explain??
