Top 10 Most Ridiculous Things I've Said as a Parent
When I was little, I used to think some of the phrases my parents would say were lame... "Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about!" But I was told that most of those phrases were created as a reaction to specific situations... Like I had any clue what they were talking about.
Then when I got older and some of my friends started having kids, I remember them saying, "You wouldn't believe the stuff that comes out of my mouth when I'm dealing with my kids." And I thought, it can't be that crazy. Then I had my own babies, who grew into toddlers and started talking and doing whatever the heck they wanted to (psycho little humans), and I realized I had been so wrong. So, I thought I'd share with you all a fun little list I like to call: The Top 10 Most Ridiculous Things I've Said as a Parent (to my children).
10) "Please don't kiss the dog's butt."
9) "Why don't you go outside and run around or play with your toys?... (5 minutes later) "Why can't you just calm down and sit still for like 5 minutes!"
8) "I need you to use your words so I understand what you need.".... (5 minutes later) "Please just stop talking! Do not say another word!"
7) "Do you realize you just had your hand down your pants and then scratched your nose?"
6) "DO NOT SIT ON YOUR BROTHER'S FACE!"
5) "No, you can't wear my bra."
4) "Did you steal my jewelry again?"
3) "If I get you ice cream will you stop asking questions?"
2) "No, I will not show you my armpit hair."
And the #1 most ridiculous thing I've said to my kids is.....
1) "Why do you both feel the need to come with me into the bathroom when I specifically said I need to poop?"
Get comfortable, ladies and gentlemen. My youngest munchkin just hit the threenager stage so this will not be my last post on this subject.
