[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 14481, member: 1991"] When my family go quiet as I walk in the room, I challenge them with humour. "It's alright, I never listen to any of you anyway, so you can keep talking about me, I don't mind, I'm used to it." I'm the youngest and for many years they would stop telling 'blue' jokes when I walked in the room. One day I turned to brother in law, who had shut up fast telling a joke to my sister, looking embarrassed, and said to him, "It's alright. Don't you realise - I was 45 on my last birthday, I think I'm old enough to hear the joke." So he told me the joke. And I wished he hadn't, it was so 'off' with no redeeming humour whatsoever. But I HAD asked for it. Marg [/QUOTE]
