I love this list. My version of #8 is "Nice words or no words". My version of #2 is "stop licking it" (the rash is around his mouth.". I would love to her what other people's variations on these were.
You're quoting ME here!
Happy 13!
Princess isn't old enough for 4, 5 and 9 but I have uttered every single one of the other lines you listed. #10 is the one I'm using the most right now.
"What did I JUST say?"
"Your job is to OBEY."
"Do not put that in your mouth."
All of it very familiar.
I just love this...I said every one of these in my day, and now I am hearing these come out of my daughter.
I still get cracked up when I hear my daughter telling my grandbaby..."When you get to be a mommy then you can do it, until then you do what I say."
LOL what a great list!!! #1..oh yea...what is it with kids, they will pass over icky utility scissors and go straight for my good, expensive scissors! I started hiding mine..which works well until I forget where my hiding spot is :-P lol
Great list! As a mom I know I have heard myself say all of these in one form or another at least half a million times in the last 6 years. They warn me it doesn't get better.
My absolute favorite Mommy Comment was from my mother to my little sister:
Sister: I don't have to because I'm a princess and princesses don't do that.
Mother: You may be the princess, but I'm the Queen.
as for #1, i seem to remember my mom not only hiding her 'good' sewing scissors, but actually putting tape on them marking them so we couldn't claim ignorance. ha!
love it.
My version of #1 would be,
"Hey, put those down!--those are MY good scissors!!"
You forgot the all-time winner - "Because I said so!"
Great list. I have uttered more of those than I want to own up to.
Happy TT!
love it!
you could be me.
or even my mom!
so I guess you have been a fly on my wall at least once or twice LOL!
GREAT TT!
As a single parent of four, I have said many of these many times!
Happy TT
Mines Up!
