Since having children things come out of my mouth that just make me stop and say “what?!” Nevermind the all-too-obvious things we thought we’d never repeat from our parents:
- I’m not [insert name here]’s mother!
- Because I said so!
- Don’t make me count to three young lady…
I’m talking about the things you would never comprehend as a sentence in your pre-parent days that just fly out of my mouth on a regular basis:
- Who put the Froot Loops in the toilet?
- Why is there toilet paper in the hallway?
- Stop licking your sister!
- Get your foot off the t.v. screen.
- Don’t put your toes in your mouth!
There are some things about parenting you just can’t even begin to explain to someone without children.
Yeah..that and “Those game pieces belong on the BOARD, not up your nose” have a familiar ring to them.
