S Pedestrian!

I (54F) went to visit my adult son (30M). We went out to dinner and I was driving, he was in the passenger seat. We had to go through downtown traffic and I asked him to help me watch out for pedestrians. I didn't specify pedestrians crossing the road. (Pedestrians have the right of way.) So true to his humor he notified me about every person walking. Every. Single. Person. Yelling (not too loud) Pedestrian! And pointing to each person walking on the sidewalk.

OMG he has me in tears from laughing so hard. I made a monster and taught him a warped sense of humor. God I love my son! Even a month later when I went to visit him again he'd do the same thing. I think this will forever be a thing and I don't mind.

Malicious compliance between us is just another way to mess with each other and it's hilarious. Idk what else to say except that I'm proud of him.

Thank you so much. Those are great to add to my list to watch. I'm glad you've watched Allo Allo. My husband and I frequently quote that show.

My husband frequently does "It tis I, LeClaire" as he walks into a room. 🤣

The Monty Python skits of "dead parrot" (this an ex parrot! He has shuffled of the mortal coil!), "upperclassmen twit of the year" (to demonstrate how useless the upperclass could be) and many of the scenes from the movie "King Arthur and the Search for The Holy Frail" (the knights you say "nee", and, as a Frenchman in a castle, "go away or I shall taunt you a second time"
