~~my number one favorite question i asked one day when i walked into my daughters room when she was 3 ~ "why is there a snack cake stuck to the wall??"
ha ha that falls under things our parents said that we now say ~~
What is this underneath the bed? Out comes candy wrappers and our son said, " I don't know how they got there!" I then said with humorous sarcasm, " Wasn't me must have did it." then our son said, " I knew wasn't me did it, because I didn't do it!" it took all that I could to hold a straight face and this is one mommy will never forget. lolololo
Sorry had to share the entire story on this one.
How about "Whoever's making that noise Knock it off!"
Reply "Wasn't me."
Me "Then I wasn't talking to you!"
Reply "What's that supposed to mean?"
Yet they have very high IQs Good grades
"WHY are all the heads to your Barbie dolls in a box under your bed??"
How about when your on a road trip...and you tell the kids: "The next "peep" out'a anyone is going to spell out big trouble""....What justifies a peep...?
and you always have the smartie britches who has to say "peep"
That constitutes big trouble right there !
mummy look at my breakfast - sweetcorn and milk and chocolate. ugh.
How could you not know your head would get stuck?
How many times do I have to tell you that the cat is NOT a baby doll?
NO you cannot pee in the electric socket (Yes, I have ACTUALLY said this one).
Please don't eat the play-doh, finger paint, paper towels, plastic indians, paste....etc.
How did you get up there??!
I'm not a parent, but I pretty much raised my little brother, and before I started going back to school I was working with troubled children...So these are from those experiences.
wow i said .."do not put your brother in the dryer again" and then had to say "no he cannot put you in the dryer again"
"can we please have five minutes when the words 'boobs', or 'fart', aren't mentioned?"
Hm. That's funny. I say that one to my 30 year old roommate all the time.
"No, we can't take your brother back!!"
And... "Sorry kid, I don't care if it says your fever is 127...you're going to school!" (my sons attempt at faking sick...a lightbulb will heat a thermometer, just a bit much)
Bill Cosby say it all http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/ … 5376329174
Me to my 15 yr old about his 4 yr old nephew:
Don't throw him so high, you almost hit his head on the ceiling!
Me again, after his reply: I don't care if it makes him cry and let you snuggle him because he's adorable! WE DO NOT BREAK BABIES TO GET HUGS!!
Taps drip, Showers drip, Rain drips, Gutters drip - BOYS should not drip! At least not anywhere anyone else has to then come and sit - it is squishy, disgusting and sends us leaping up in humiliation - so I repeat - attention to detail!

I'll pick up on this thread where I left off in the last, but on a new topic. The last one was about a flaw in Christian theology, namely, the impossible definition of God. This one is about protective coloring in the Christian mentality; a smokescreen; the corrupt use of misdirection,...

I'm looking for questions you had as a new parent. What didn't you think about until you need the answer? What questions did you think you knew the answers to and then realized you need more information?
