The “fail” here is Mom does not know what “spooning” means. Cuddling isn’t sexual, spooning is. She’s not a pedophile, just linguistically challenged. And y’all need to stop getting your panties in a bunch, k?
The term “spooning” as a form of cuddling goes back much farther than the current sexual association. It was often associated with comfort and intimacy without being considered sexual. As an example, older literature- back from a time where children often shared a bed- would note children… or children and parents… sleeping in such a way to illustrate feelings of trust, security, and harmony. It had and implied innocence to it. The focus on sexual intimacy is a more recent adoption… perhaps by those who experience it ONLY as such– lacking the trust, security, and harmony that are supposed to go with it.
you are correct….but the current country’s language we have is literal/slang. basically it can be taken either way if not explained right from details in a sentence…..Some people are inmature and rational and were raised that way and this is how their first response is to something like this…so dont harp on their inferior knowledge and comprehension….just pity them …and Since shes a mother and she was raised in a different world than us. She doesnt understand or know all the slang terms we use today. And she means any girl would like a guy who can cuddle in case she needs comfort.
It says that she’s SPOONING with him, just like she does with her HUSBAND, and that he’ll make a great BOYFRIEND to someone. What the fuck is wrong with you that hearing that doesn’t set off alarm bells??
Dude, this is not sexual. As a kid I always thought that learning to manage the kitchen was very important to make my girl/wife happy. Spooning is not sexual the way she says it. it has to do with how rotten our minds are and how little we have learned to do with our lives.
EVERYONE understands what’s weird about it you dunce.
What people are trying to say though is that she DOESN’T MEAN THAT, she doesn’t understand what the word mean, she probably just means cuddling.
Fucking idiot.
Nah, spooning originally was platonic cuddling. It was based on the way spoons fit together in a drawer. My mother’s family had one bed for all 5 children. The oldest children were on the outside and youngest in the middle. One was a boy, but nothing was sexual. Since I’m not in this woman’s mind, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, this time!
you guys sure take posts for the worst. it shows the ignorance of the world today. its good to see a parent nurturing their child, and not doing dope while lil johnny is playing with the knives and stove. ignorant people man. too bad you didnt have parents who loved you.
spooning means lying together closely, each person on the same side eg: both on the left side or both on the right, and their bodies fit together with the person in the behind position often wrapping their arm around the person in front. While it can be sexual for people who are inclined that way, it can also be comforting for an infant or other person to be cuddled like that
i means many things. there are more meaning to the non-sexuals side of the word than to the sexual. this could also be related to very well organized doing the kitchen stuff. The woman probably teaches her husband how to do the kitchen the way it’s supposed to be and she is also doing that with her child. He does it so well that her future girlfriend will be proud. :S All this comments above just show how ignorant and sexual everything is turning to be.
Wow. Interesting.
I would not figure it out on my own. Too many words in English have several meanings, and much of them are not obvious to a non-native speaker. It could be the source of this situation. But if you are correct – that woman has sexually obsessed friends on Facebook, hasn’t she?
Well, at least it is not a a mistake, which is commonly made by Russians. They fail to understand why “I feel myself badly” is not an excuse for missing something.
You guys are somewhat perverted… there is nothing sexual with spooning, it is just cuddling. Honi soit quy mal y pense – a right saying, once again. If you don’t know what I mean, google it
@ Hal: You know what a spoon is, right? Now imagine two (or more) people lying next to each other, facing the same direction – just like spoons.
Thanks. I believe it is obvios that English is not my native language, and such things are never taught anywhere. It can be funny sometimes, but silly situations are more likely to happen.
if she were to mention that her boy climbs into her and her husband’s bed at night, that’d be normal. Little kids do that on occasion and it’s kinda “aww cute”
calling it spooning … that’s over sharing. best light is that it’s either a naive comment or a bad attempt at silliness
… THE FACT THAT SHE’S LOOKING FORWARD TO THE LUCKY GIRL FRIEND THAT THE LITTLE BOY IS GOING TO BE SPOONING WITH IN THE FUTURE?!!?!?!? … yeeeah, that’s where it destroys all chances of innocence.
Normally I’d agree with the people saying “you’re reading too much into the phrase ‘spooning’, it’s not sexual”, but considering the mom follows up that remark with the “he’ll make a good boyfriend” bit…yeah, this launches right off into creepy.
agreed x_X spooning your child is fine, saying he will make a good boyfriend because of that… creepy. It also sounded like the mother was the little spoon, which also is kind of eh… it’s usually the other way around with parents/children…
Is there anyone else who has the feeling that half of the people on facebook now are fake ID’s made for the sole purpose of posting status updates to be submitted to Failbooking?
Lame troll is lame.
This post was actually funny for a change. The sad thing is that people are going “Gee, I wonder what I could post that would sound funny?” and then other people who no sense of whats funny post them here.
My brother’s ex would kiss her daughters on the lips and let her daughter sleep in the same bed even at the age of 16. ….my bro couldn’t possibly figure out why my family treated this woman as though diseased.
I myself used to think it was just cuddling, til looked it up one day. It’s actually not necesarily sexual, and most likely the mother just meant cuddling in general. You can cuddle with both your husband and your boys. I’ve cddled with my boyfriend, not sexually, just lovingly. It’s different.
Oh goodness that is ddef. uhhhhhhh different i read that someone said it was cuddling. Uhh thats not cuddling. If that is then sex is not bad at a young age.
Heyy just saying.,……its very wrong
Wow. Firstly, yeah, spooning isn’t necessarily sexual – it’s a comfort thing. By spooning, I mean lying in that position, not having sex in that position or grinding or anything like that. As long as it’s just lying down, it’s non-sexual. That she does this with her husband and her sons doesn’t make it creepy – most things you would do both with a spouse and with your kids are non-sexual; having meals together, going to the movies, even cuddling. I also don’t think the implication that her sons are sometimes the ‘big spoon’ or ‘spooner’ is cause for concern – sometimes mums want to take care of their kids, but sometimes they want to feel taken care of too.
Similarly, not everything in a romantic relationship is sexual – that she affectionately refers to his future girlfriend being lucky means, to me at least, only that if he’s a “good” spooner (which I would think involves the same as being a good hugger), he might also be able to enjoy the intimacy, sexual or not, of spooning with his girlfriend. This is all pretty innocuous to me; the hysteria seems to arise from our sexual view of spooning, which is just one of its aspects
you’re right on all counts, none of those things by themselves are necessarily sexual, spooning with husband, spooning with kid, and kid spooning with future girlfriend. but they all can be, and two of them OFTEN are, so when you put them all together, they sure sound sexual.
whereas if she was talking about how great it was to go to the movies with her husband, and her son, and how her son would be great at taking his girlfriend to the movies, none of those things are usually associated with sex so there would be no associations attached.

Spooning or choreic hand is flexion and dorsal arching of the wrists and hyperextension of the fingers when the hands are extended sideways palms down.[1][2]
Spooning is a recognized clinical sign in pediatric neurology during standard evaluation of the posture with extended arms. Spooning is often observed in children up to the age of 5.[3]
In older ages it is a clinical sign seen in children with chorea.
Dude, everybody stop getting all so serious about this!?!?!? lol this is supposed to be on fail book to have a good laugh and they put it on here because it sounded sexual that doesn’t necessarily means it is so don’t get all upset over nothing.haha i think it’s funny!
none of you know what was going on in her mind. oh and dont get your pants in a not just because you dont think of it sexually.if you think of it sexually haha nice if you dont then fine dont yell at ppl who are thinking of it how its supposed to be thought of!your gonna see alot of posts like this!
To those trying to say spooning has a non-sexual meaning:
“Verb
to spoon (third-person singular simple present spoons, present participle spooning, simple past and past participle spooned)
1.(intransitive, now rare) To flirt; to make advances, to court someone, to interact romantically or amorously with someone. [quotations ▼]
1913, DH Lawrence, Sons and Lovers, Penguin 2006, p. 197: Do you think we spoon and do? We only talk.
2.(intransitive, colloquial) To lie nestled together front to back in a manner reminiscent of spoons laid side by side in a drawer; usually has a mild sexual connotation.”
It’s sexual. Perhaps this woman was using it with an incomplete knowledge of either the archaic meaning or the modern one, but whatever the case it is indeed a fail.
Ouch…
LMFAO!
Oh wow!!!!
o.o so. many. levels. of wrong.
This just SCREAMS “Oedipus Complex!!!”. Freud would have a field day with this one.
not really. just kitchen stuff!
Facebook and oversharing – match made in heaven.
*A Match Made in Failbooking.
ahahahahaahahahahaha wtf seriously? lmao i needed that today
Since when is a mother cuddling with their child considered bad?
When said mother refers to it as spooning, it stops being nurturing and starts becoming…carnal.
stupid. no where does it say she touched him you fucking queef. go kill yourself. you are probably a pedophile, or will be being a full time gamer.
yeah………….. just because you have a sick attraction to children doesn’t mean you need to take it out on ppl who don’t. just sayin.
The “fail” here is Mom does not know what “spooning” means. Cuddling isn’t sexual, spooning is. She’s not a pedophile, just linguistically challenged. And y’all need to stop getting your panties in a bunch, k?

That is a LOT to buy, boreddd. That is a _L_O_T_ to buy.
Too bad you speak American.
Americans speak English.
Sounds like I touched a nerve. Ah, well. If you can’t read inferences, it’s not my fault.
Lol, it’s hilarious how bent out of shape all you lame people get xD
AHAHAHHA I GET IT!
BENT OUT OF SHAPE, SPOON!
It says that she’s SPOONING with him, just like she does with her HUSBAND, and that he’ll make a great BOYFRIEND to someone. What the fuck is wrong with you that hearing that doesn’t set off alarm bells??

Oh god you people are more entertaining that the pic
So true.
Wow. She cant cuddle with her husband? You fail.
PMSL!! Amazing!
a lot of fails from parents that are a little too close to their children
*an awesome spooner
Teaching me to be a good boyfriend wasn’t part of my mother’s job description. Certainly not hands on.
Maybe just a lil’ bit to proud
About time Failbooking had some lols.
First, I thought, oh a very bad typo. But no. WTF. Haha
FailbookingDOTcom should be renamed to kaceroskyDOTcom…
That’s the only way to get anyone to visit it…

Your multiple attempts at trolling have failed.
hey cut him some slack his parents obviously “loved” him a little too much
L O L
Anyone can explain “spooning” in other words? I fail to translate.
spooning means lying together closely, each person on the same side eg: both on the left side or both on the right, and their bodies fit together with the person in the behind position often wrapping their arm around the person in front. While it can be sexual for people who are inclined that way, it can also be comforting for an infant or other person to be cuddled like that
Thanks! Understood now!

ha! either tony is very misinformed about the word spooning, or he is playing with you. the term spooning never has anything to do with the kitchen.
Google persuaded me he may be correct. But even if he isn’t most of the comments still remain dumb.
… There is no spooning.
Well, I’ve managed to catch the White Rabbit, so it’s a BBQ time now?
You’ve already made the choice, now you must understand why.
Zoh. Mon. Dieu.
I don’t really see spooning as sexual, but it is kinda weird if the mother would be the one held, but I don’t really know how spooning is sexual.
It’s not sexual. it’s kitchen stuff!
You guys are somewhat perverted… there is nothing sexual with spooning, it is just cuddling. Honi soit quy mal y pense – a right saying, once again. If you don’t know what I mean, google it

Ok, seriously …

Agreed, butcher!
I always like to spoon after forking!
Put them together: sporking.
Normally I’d agree with the people saying “you’re reading too much into the phrase ‘spooning’, it’s not sexual”, but considering the mom follows up that remark with the “he’ll make a good boyfriend” bit…yeah, this launches right off into creepy.

Dont let JayEl know or she will get so much satisfaction in reporting these obviously loving ppls to… “The Authorities”! Interfere much beyotch?
lol I thought she meant spoon feeding.
Thats what I was hoping it meant. xD

I want to know what the other 11 comments were!
What was she thinking?
My brother’s ex would kiss her daughters on the lips and let her daughter sleep in the same bed even at the age of 16. ….my bro couldn’t possibly figure out why my family treated this woman as though diseased.

It is a hilarious mistake though.
Better than forking O.o *ouch*
Fucking neo-freudians…
No one has yet brought up the bigger question of…
What exactly makes someone a “good spooner”? I thought it was pretty self-explanatory.
Oh goodness that is ddef. uhhhhhhh different i read that someone said it was cuddling. Uhh thats not cuddling. If that is then sex is not bad at a young age.
Heyy just saying.,……its very wrong
Maybe they’re all really good at eating ice cream?
Hehe…. This was meant to sound sexual but actually had a very innocent meaning, good goin! xP
