Rediscovering Domesticity: Parents Say the Darndest Things

Parents Say the Darndest Things


I was accustomed to saying an odd phrase occasionally as a teacher, but it's NOTHING compared to the oddities that fly from my mouth on a daily basis with a busy toddler in the house!

Here are some recent things that I never thought I'd say:

Buggy, please take your finger out from under the dog's eyelid - she doesn't like it.
Bug, the stairs really don't need to be mowed right now.
Please put the dog food back in the dog's dish, Bug.  We don't share food with the dog.
Buggy, a bag of dog poo is NOT the same as play-dough.  Please put it down.
Bug, please don't lick our guest's thigh - I'm sure she tastes yummy, but it's just not polite to lick guests.
Bug, please don't write on our friends with popcicles.

What are some of the gems that YOU have said?

"No, you don't need to smell your brother's poop because I am sure it's poop." (to my 4 year old)

"Get off your brother, he does not like when sit on his head." (to my 4 year old)

"Do not bite that lady's leg! She is not food!" (to my 17 month old)

"Please don't lick the window. I will give you a wet paper towel to clean it because spit doesn't really clean." (to both of them)

"Stop putting cars in the fish tank. Fish don't drive." (to both of them at one time or another)

I have said (at least once) "I'll give you another cracker when you finish choking on that one," to my 15 month old son.

I love these. MomLovesDeals had some great ones! It's so fun being a mom!!! :)

I am stealing this idea and posting it on my blog. I hope you don't mind! (I'll give you credit.) It's a great idea.
