Thanks everybody for all your e-mail!! Quite a few crazy stories from some nutty families out there!

CQB : my sister and her boyfriend alwayz listen to my conversations on the phone and when ever a boy rings the say "oooh is this chloes boyfriend?"... talk about embarrasing, i have to go to school with these people!
JS: I know how you feel. Take a mental note of this - so in a few years when their 'special friends' are calling home - you can be there with kissy whissy smoochy whoochy sound effects!

GG94: I live with just mum and me and the cat. Animals count, well they do accorddng to my family. Seeing as I don't have a sister, my mum and I have become very close to my cousins Emma[10], Caitlin[8] and Baden[2]. They're like brother ans sisters to me. Anyway, back to the point. When ever I'm over at their house,[nearly every day], I get the ''can we fix it'', ''yes we can''. You all know what that is don't you. BOB THE ANOYING BUILDER. I can never watch Sabrina, wntv, home and away etc. Then there's Caitlin. When is she gonna get a life. She's always going, ''Jess, come here'', or something else, when I'm trying to write in my diary. Now we have Emma. She may mean well, but gosh, she drives me insane. She always wants to play a game, like country girls, or we're twins and we meet each other, I mean, come on, we can leave that roll for the Olson twins on it takes 2. Sister stands for Emma and Caitlin, cos apart from Bob, Pingu, Thomas the tank engine, Bann! anas in Pajamas, tweenies, bumble etc. Baden's quite allright. So are the other 2, but for once would they leave me ALONE.
JS: I agree, Bob should be outlawed! Look on the bright side - you're obviously an amzing person and everyone just wants to spend all their time with you!

once i was talking to my boyfriend on the phone and my brother was listening to us the whole time. he told my parents and now im not allowed to see my boyfriend when no one else is around.
JS Oh yes...brothers...you gotta love them right! They have this annoying habit of finding out stuff about you and then running to Mum and dad with it UNLESS you pay them some ridiculous amount of money or confectionery! I have to say ...you're boyfriend obviously had something worth reporting back. I never use the phone for anything I don't want others to hear. Things that important should be said face to face when you know there's no-one else around!

HA2000: i was talking to my boyfriend on the phone then my mother thought she would be smart and picked up the phone and started asking my guy all these really embarrasing questions! he still hasn't properly met them yet after that and i get the feeling he wont be either.
JS: I know what you mean - that's the same sort of bizarre thing my Mum would do! They think they're being funny but they SO aren't! I've got a good feeling that your boyfriend will understand that you don't share your Mum's 'unique' sense of humour. In times like this - the worst thing to do is lose your sense of humour. Laugh it off! If your boyfriend can't - he's not worth it!

TALK: Well I was talking to my friend about this cute guy at school and I hear this noise but I don't take notice and then I hear a noise and guess what? It's my horrible, disgusting, farty brother and he starts laughing his heart out and saying "You like a boys, you like boys!" So what do I do? I yell at him to hang up the phone and while I'm at it I also promise that I will kill him when I get off the phone (Idon't really kill him, but now thinking about it I should have!!)
JS: Oh mee god....you poor thing, he sounds worse than Thomas! Here's the secet to little brothers who are annoying. They only annoy you because they can. There job in life is to wind you up. However they haven't got much stickablilty - so if they don't have any luck they'll quickly move onto something else. IN OTHER WORDS...don't let him get to you. Don't let him see that he's getting to you. When he has no luck winding you up he'll move onto some other major project like picking his nose!

ROXY: About two weeks ago, My Dad and I were fighting over the phone and then my Nan came in and started to yell at my Dad and I. Then, she took the phone off us and rung up her friends. She spent like an hour on the phone aye. But to make things worse it was a 99c per minute call to Australia. That costed us like $60:00 for one phone call. Geeeeezzzz, my Nan is sooooooooooo annoying.
JS: Yeah but does your Nan suck the chocolate off her chocolate peanuts and leave the rest of the peanuts sitting around the house? Does she make the family spend hour after hour searching for her false teeth which she took out but can't remember exactly where? But then look at it this way - your grand parents had to put up with your parents when they were kids!!! Now that is a terrifying thought! I say they can be as crazy as they like - they deserve it!

Well Last week my STUPID sister Cracked one of the biggest secrets forever well the secret was that ME MYSELF HAS A CRUSH ON A BOY CALLED DAVID . He's just soooooo cute as always now she told DAD the big D.A.D it means Disaterress And Dizzy . GOSH isn't he always . Well now that dad knows he's always telling me at Dinner time how DAVID came to his shop and how DAVID done this and how DAVID done that WOW like I care ? So anyway least NONE of my friends know ! Ahhhh I loved it !
JS: Yeah... D.A.D - I know what you mean! It's hard to believe that my Dad was a boy once. And that my Muma actually found him attractive - perhaps she just felt sorry for him!

ANJA: Hi!My name is Anja said like (Anya) my sister is realy annoying she always gets smart and sneaks into my room when I stay at my frinds house and steals my things.My Dad he is a mechanic we have our own business and my Mum is the office lady the both are very nice at times but I have to say my Dad is always stuck on the phone all day every day (even in the weekends I realy peeees us off.My Mum well there is nothing wrong with her realy.Now our phone well I must say me and my friend Hannah we spend about 1 hour on it every day (just about).Now about me!I've got blondy goldeny hair,blue eyes i am 10 years old I go to Mangonui school and I live up Midgley road i have a two story house and a go cart my Dad made for me and my little sister.My little siters name is Leuka she is 8 years old.The colour of our go cart is blue it used to be Yellow,Green and Pink ooohhhhh yukkkkkk.I've got to go now so catch ya later aligater!!!!!!P.S. I hope I get put on your website!
JS: Wish we had a go-cart... we used to have one. It worked really well - until Dad and Thomas decided it should go faster. So they added wheels and nuts and bolts and levers and buttons and switches and...and...they broke it. Now it sits out the back housing a neighborhood of spiders!

OWPUFFS: Ew, my brother is the grossest. He farts on my head, blows bubbles from his own spit (ew!!), and always yells and is completely rude when I am trying to have a civilised conversation on the phone, when there is a civil war going on behind me. Mums trying to shut my brother DJ up most of the time, dad is forever on the computer, and honestly I think I'm the only normal person in my entire family!?
JS: I know EXACTLY how you feel!! It's like my family's been sent here to test me. And some days I don't know if I'm up to the test! Still as long as they remember my birthday and I don't have to cook and clean up much...it's not a bad life really!

FOURKIDS: My sister is allways on the phone and when ever the phone rings we know its going to be for her and my brother well hes always talking to his girl friend and as for mum my well if she ever gets her hands on the phone she won't get off until like 3 hours later and as for me i never get on the phone with a family like this and the internet
JS: Have you tried suggesting a second phone line?? We have one and it's not too expensive and I can spend all weekend downloading music and movies! Of course I told Dad it would be good for his business. This of course is a man who would belive me if i said picking his nose would be good for his business. Do the research. ring the phone company - get the prices and make it sound like you're doing them a favour. Make them think it was their good idea to get a second phone line - and then you get the benefits!

YUMYUM: well my family is alright my brother fats in my face and he is 16 years old my sister is just the boaring old thing and my mumm allways takes there side not mine its so un fair i wish i could see you in rell life.
JS: Boring sisters and disgusting brothers are truly the bane of my life too! But I try to get on with them (at least when Mum and Dad are around anyway!) From what my research tells me - it does get better. ANd ...belive it or not...apparantly these brothers and sisters are actually of some use as they get older and one or 2 have even reported to have grown up and been 'quite nice'

ELLIES: I love them all!!!There is my older brother Brendan he is cool.Then Jonny my younger Brother is the most annoying thing on this planet!!but I gess he can be sweet SOMTIMES.My mum is well mum u know she is cool.my dad lives with my half broter Raydon Yep I'm the only girl!!!
JS: You know I bet you're Mum loves having you around the place! Never forget that not so long ago she was a girl too! So every now and then why don't the 2 of you head out for a girls day out!

LLOOROCKS: hi. Like i really needed to use the phone to ring my best friend and my brother who is 17 was talking on the phone to his girlfriend called jessica and so i hopped on the other side of the phone line and started listning to them and they were talkig all I LOVE YOU , I LOVE YOU MORE,I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MOE, owh how grose.
JS: Ohh that's painful! You know if you could somehow record him saying that to her girlfriend - simply replaying it to him 10-12 hours a day should prevent him from continuing that lovey dovey dribble in public! Let me know how you get on!
