"put your legs on"
"pick up your legs, they don't go in front of the door"
When is the last time you changed these socks, throw them away and put some clean ones on."(she goes weeks without changing the socks or the shoes on her prosthetic feet)
"turn your feet around frontwards"
"Quit running over your sister's feet" (He thinks it's funny that it doesn't hurt her to run over her feet with a 300lb wheelchair"
"Untie your brother so we can get out of the car" (by this we mean undo the tie downs on the wheelchair, while I open the lift so he can drive the wheelchair out, but often when the big kids are racing to see who can get out the other side faster, I have to yell at them to come back and untie thier brother, otherwise I have to climb in there and do it)
"Don't let him walk to the car!" (he walks by scooting on his but and when we are going to church I don't want him all dirty!)
Don't put your brother up there! (when he annoys him the big kids like to put him up on a shelf or counter so he can't get get down, sometimes he is a toot and probably deserves it, but they know they are not allowed to do it.)
If you throw up you are grounded! (this kid throws up on purpose when he doesn't get his way)
"Get your hand out of your pants" and "put some pants on." and last but not least "No, sideways underwear is does not count as dressed!" (remember he has no legs, so his underwear does sometimes twist around, however he also likes to put it on sideways on purpose so everything is, um hanging out. He also uses this method, along with putting his pants on sideways so he can stick a hand in a pocket and have easy access. Lately he wants to be naked all the time or in just the sideways underwear, which he consideres dressed)

These have been said to my 6 year old SID/RAD son...

Stop chewing on your shirt, it isn't food.
Stop chewing on your sister's shirt, it isn't food.

Stop sitting on your head, that is what God gave you a rear end for.

And, after a particularly bad RAD melt-down... You stay here, Mommy is going to her room.

"Until you calm down I am not letting you up and I don't mind if your face is in your throw up."

"All that matters is if I am comfortable."

Both were said Monday during a really bad rage when he made himself throw up so I would let him up out of a very necessary restraint. LOL

"Wake me up when you're done so I can get the mop" to my 10yo fd who was in the midst of a massive tantrum. I was tired, so I went to bed while she wailed and screamed outside my bedroom door. She leaves a lake of mucus behind, and I don't want it to ruin the hardwood floors.

Sweetie, you can't watch cartoons right now. They are all sleeping and so should you. (said at 3am this morning)

Thank you, but really, mommy doesn't need another stuffed animal right now. (I think I say this several times a day.)

We are going in the store. we don't touch anything. We don't ask for anything. We don't run. We stay together. Follow these rules and we will have fun. You know what happens if you don't. (Now said to collective kiddos whenever we enter a store or any kind.)

J, when I say keep an eye on your brother so I can shower. That includes keeping him off the table and out of the dishwasher.

Please stop licking me. You are not a dog.

we've used the stop licking (incert object here) too. Both of my kids can't stop chewing or licking on stuff.
Whether it's the floor, tv, side of the truck, a tree..it don't matter.

last night.. "your not eatting just fruits & veggies", eat your cheeseburger & fries.

You want junk food. Here you go, have it for dinner.

"You are not allowed to talk to that casket any more"

This was said at my dh's grandmother's funeral when S kept walking up to the casket and saying hi to her.
