It all started when the following statement came out of my mouth:
“Don’t head butt your brother.”
As soon as I heard myself speak these words…it was like I had an instant aerial view of my life with three little boys, and I started laughing at the ridiculousness that accompanies my daily hiccups in trying to parent them (it’s better than crying about it, right?). Now, this happens to me ALL the time. So, I thought I’d start a list of the things that I never thought I’d be saying to my children and that, when taken out of context, are just downright silly. Here’s your first installment:
“Don’t pick up any poop, okay?”
“Now, I want you to sit there and think about how to be a pirate.”
“Don’t eat your boogers, buddy.”
“We do not drink water out of pencil sharpeners.”
“Get out of the dishwasher.”
