More Ridiculous Things We Say to our Kids

Today E was in one of those shopping carts that are shaped like a truck. I was wayyyyyy over the whole shopping in the pouring rain expedition. I brought rags to dry one off and (while being honked at for blocking a spot) I realized I had used all my rags on one that doesn't have a steering wheel! This was not good. So I took the wet rags and attempted to dry off another one ....anyhoo

E was HANGING out of the truck, in the rain with his hand in a muddy puddle. And I said:

"Put your hands on the wheel where I can see them!"

Ummmmm somebody is taking her job a little too seriously!

Also I said earlier in day "no mommy did not poop, she "tooted" ... (as if that was ok!)

Anyone else?

The past few days I have said to baby A
"stop kissing your brother's butt"
"you are fixing to make mommy's head blow up"
"lets go poop with mommy" I have to take him with me if no one else is home.
" I pee peed in the potty" (complete with dance. I am hoping it will help him potty train later)

Talking

"Katie, say 'booger'!"

And she did - which cracked the older one up completely!!!

And I said this one to my coworkers - but it is related..... "I am soooo excited for the Wiggles show next week...!"

Yeah, I got some strange looks.....

When all else fails and everyone is just going bonkers, yes I fully admit I pull out a line my mother always used on us...."Remember Santa Claus is watching you!" Hehehehe.

Not one I've said (yet), but my mom used to tell us, "Don't come running to me when you fall and break your leg!" when we were climbing trees and such. Ummm.... if we've broken a leg I doubt we'll be running anywhere:-)

I started saying this to my DD when she was about 6 or so: Stop doing that, you'll break a leg and I have no intention of sitting in the hospital with you today.

Me: You are missing the concept.

After DD started her prayers by saying, "HEY GOD! Are you listening? I am four now and I have long, sharp fingernails. Watch out!" (????)

These are funny!

I have a joke that for every holiday, I have a "figure" like Santa to try to keep DD on her best behavior. Like my Labor Day Leprachaun (who's watching), Valentine's Day Viper (who's watching), Memorial Day Muskrat (who's watching)....whatever it takes to motivate!

Today I told the boys to use their pretend light sabres to fight pretend droids, instead of fighting each other and coming to me to complain about their pretend injuries. Can you even imagine what would happen if I let them have REAL toy light sabres?

Today, I'm at the store, trying to find my wallet under the piles o' crap, including 13, yes, 13 bouncy balls...In my frustration and without thinking, I said,

"Joe, will you please stop putting your balls in my purse? It's bad enough you leave them laying all over the house!"

Giggles from kids and grown ups alike. Embarrassment from mom, who should have known better.
