A Year of Happy Mondays – The “Did I Say That?” Edition

In honor of Mother’s Day yesterday, for this Monday’s Top Ten Smiles, I present to you:

My Top Ten Favorite Things I’ve Said As A Parent (In Just The Last Week)

10. “Buttercup! Don’t throw your socks in the trash!”

9. “There’s a wet graham cracker in the bottom of my trash can.”

8. “Buttercup. We do not dance on tables.”

7. “Boys! Quit peeing on each other!”

6. “Buttercup, stop picking your brother’s nose.”

5. “Squeaker! You do not fight an imaginary shinger with a real ball!” (FYI, I did not end up with a black eye as a result of this statement, and SuperHubby lectured me on the inappropriateness of encouraging Squeaker’s fascination with shinging (which is the noise he makes when he swings around an imaginary katana.).)

4. “Buttercup, get your finger out of the cat’s ear.” (More about my poor cat, Jinx, later this week.)

3. “Buttercup, we don’t eat the wishberries. We blow them.”

2. (To SuperHubby) “Legos? Legos? Forget that. We do Extreme Parenting. Let ‘em play with forks. See how that feels when you stop on them in the middle of the night.”

1. “I love you more when you think I’m 25.”

From Muffins for Mom at Munchkin’s school on Friday. (More info on “Yummy” coming later this week.)

 

(Can you tell Buttercup’s personality is emerging stronger and stronger every day?)
