As the title says I think some parents have their own secret code where they say something to us and mean something different for example when my 4 year old mindee turned up on Friday:

Mum SAID - 'She's feeling a bit tired today'

Mum actually MEANT - 'She's not very well but you can forget it if you think I'm taking the day off to look after her'

LOL

Anyone got any more?
