My mother never told me:

Kids don’t understand “knock it off” or “stop”,

until you raise your voice and threaten their lives.

Or take away their electronics.

Which to them is about the same thing.

My mother never told me:

When a child asks, “Can I have a drink?” from your cup/can/bottle, kiss the whole thing good bye.

You aren’t getting that sucker back.

And if by some small miracle you do get it back, you aren’t going to want it.

My mother never told me…….

Kids will figure out that if they can make you laugh while you are mad, they won’t get in as much trouble.

Suddenly you have a house full of comedians.

My mother never told me…

Kids love, love, LOVE scary movies.

Until it’s bedtime.

Ewww. Old people farts.

My mother never told me,

If you buy a puppy for a 6 year old, it may never walk again.

The puppy, not the kid.

My mother never told me:

Never let your toddler walk in on you changing clothes.

They are brutally honest.

Emphasis on ‘brutally.’

My mother never told me:

You may cry when you realize your child is two inches taller then you.

And has armpit hair.

My mother never told me:

My kids will always be cuter then the kids next to them.

With better personality!

New Name

When I started this blog, it was just going to be “The Funny Things Our Kids Say”, but I have sort of veered off in different directions. So, I decided to change the name of the blog. Still the same me, though. So don’t you fret.
