'Please don't lick your sister!' OT~The silly things we sayas parents!

So, what are some of the things you say...that only a parent would say? I actually told Alex yesterday not to lick his sister.

~I have been known to also say..."Please, princesses do not pick their nose...and eat it!' ewww!!

~I have also said...'Alex, please chew the dog food in your mouth!' yuck-o

Anyone else wanna play? LOL!!!

I am not a parent yet but have told my niece "Please don't lick the dog, just because they lick you doesn't mean it is ok" It is funny the things that come out of your mouth when speaking to children.

I too have said "Don't lick the dog". I'm sure there are several others that I have said but can't think of any right now.

How funny

I just wanted to comment that to have more than one person say "don't lick the dog" is so very funny!!!

Yesterday I told 2yr, we only smell the baby's diaper when it is ON!!!! you don't want to know how that came to be

ROFL! I'm so glad I haven't had a need to say this to my 2 year old, especially since she still hasn't figured out that licking is NOT a part of smelling...

I had to tell Sean yesterday that we don't kiss with our tongues out. He's started sticking his tongue out flat when he goes to kiss me - like he's going to lick me. I guess we can give more details on kissing when he gets a little older!

I think he is copying our dog when she gives kisses by licking. So I'm sure that I'll be saying don't lick the dog soon enough!!

My daughter is 9 1/2 months old and teething, yesterday I had to tell her not to chew on the dog toys. Specifically the bones! She goes right into their toybox and starts taking out all their bones to chew on. Wish I had known they would "share" toys before I bought all her teething toys!

Last week we were at the park. Going back to the car, I called to my 5 year old to "hurry up!" Turned around and he's peeing on the soccer field!

I told him "Get behind a bush!"

Let's see, I've had to tell Sam:

"That's not how little boys kiss their Momma" - after deciding to give me a very wet, on the lips kiss just like in the Little Mermaid. "I'm Eric" he tells me.

"Of course you got fur in your mouth, you kissed the cat"

"You can't kiss the girls at school". (do we see a little pattern here?)

"Don't bite your toe nails. You have a Momma now who can clip them for you."

"Dont pick up used gum and eat it" He used to search under tables for gum when we were still in Russia - he, thankfully is long out of this stage.

"Don't take your teeth out" I should clarify that he wears an upper teeth appliance. It is glued in so taking it out means another trip to the dentist.

"You don't need to smell Sophia's dirty diaper".

And just today, maybe the most original,
"Its call your penis, not peanuts. And don't put Momma's hair clip on it, you will hurt yourself." As he is naked, just out of the tub and supposed to be dressing himself. But my plastic hair clip was sitting on the sink and it was too hard not to pick it up and see what appendage it might fit on.

And I want to do this again??? Of course I do!!!

"Use your fingers"

This was during dinner one night. I am usually always telling her to use her fork.

"please don't lick the slide, it has many germs"

"please don't eat your shoe. it has many germs"

"please don't wipe your nose on mommy"

In a very happy voice, "come on! let's go pee!"

I'm sure there are many others, they've just become normal to me .

I had to tell Thomas the other day, "Don't pick your sister's nose!" I guess it was just too tempting. Also -- "Let the cat eat the cat food!" is a common one.

"Hey... no baby spit on the cashmere!" babe likes to lick babe's hands and then wipe them on me.

Oo, should have added now that we've entered the "Why, why, what, how, where, oh and why" constant question phase I've heard myself say more than once, to a 30 month old, "Mommy's done answering obvious questions for today." Um, yeah like a 30 month old is going to get that, babe turns around and then asks, "What does obvious mean and why did you tell me that?"
