Top Ten Things I Never Thought I Would Say
Having three children is a blessing beyond description. I love them dearly. I cannot imagine life without them, especially their creativity and laughter. Through them, I find myself being fairly creative in my interaction. In fact, I thought I would share some of the statements I have made (and never thought I would) over the course of the last thirteen years in my creative interaction with my children.
To lay it out Letterman Style, the Top Ten Things I Never Thought I Would Say:
Number Ten: Do not climb your sibling.
Number Nine: Do not stand on your brother’s head.
Number Eight: No, we are not stopping to look at the roadkill.
Number Seven: I’m sorry, but the bottom of your foot is one of the places Daddy does not kiss the boo-boos.
Number Six: Yes, your rear-end would be another.
Number Five: (After a three year-old told me her toy wouldn’t work because it was the “damnbatteries”) Yes, I know what we call them, but “damnbatteries” is not one word and you should just call them batteries.
Number Four: No, I’m not doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a fish.
Number Three: There is no such thing as a meatatarian, and if there were, you would still have to eat your vegetables.
Number Two: If you make me laugh when I am disciplining you, I will give you twice the discipline.
Number One: No, you cannot redecorate the living room in American Cheese.
There are numerous more, but some are too embarrassing to my kids. Do you have any you want to share? Let me know with a comment below.
