Sep. 18, 2008 - Kids Make Me Say The Darnedest Things
I am suprised from time to time at the things I hear spewing from my mouth. And the situations that call for those odd things. Here is just a sample of things I have said to my children this week.
- Take the matches out of your underpants.
- Don't hit your sister with a snake- I don't care if it is soft.
- Why does the sound of "nothing" sound like you are covering the cat in tape?
- Do not shoot marbles from your nose. They don't belong in there in the first place.
- Poopy is not a bad word, it can be mean sometimes, though.
- Do not put play dough in your ears anymore. It is too hard to get out.
- Who put foot prints on the top of the dining room mirrors??
- Are those butt prints on the bathroom mirror?
- I do not think that a fork fell down and just happened to carve your name in the cupboard on the way to the floor.
- If you pull out your teeth for money the Tooth Fairy only gives you a penny.
- Get down from the ceiling and put that boogie in the trash where it belongs!
That was all this week. Not too mention the day I had to point out live fish cannot breathe if you put them in your underware, they need water. And many, many more.
Now, try this at home. Say "Take the matches out of your underware. All of them. Right now." Forcefully enough to mean business while on the phone with your brother who is laughing hysterically in your ear. If you can do that then you can come babysit. Oh, and as a side note, only one of my children did not need to hear any of those pearls of wisdom from me. You can figure out which one. The other two tied.

Oh thank you for posting that! It's good to know my kids aren't the only ones who can... be creative ;)
What fodder for a 21st party, hey?
