While parenting ushers in with it a whole new world of love
and sleepless nights, it also brings things out of us that we never thought it
would, like letting your house be “clean enough” because you just can’t keep up
with the streams of little messes left by little hands. Guilt and emotions run
high on any momma’s list, whether we want them to or not. And while I find
the things kids say around here quite funny and entertaining, it’s also funny
to me the things that come out of my mouth now in response. Things I never
thought I’d say, that is until I had kids… especially my girl, because for some
reason, on top of using anything she can to hit her brother or wrestle, she is
obsessed with wearing as little clothing as possible most times.
1- We don’t throw food, because we don’t like it.
2- Don’t eat your brother’s toe!
3- Where are your underwear now?
4- The bath is for washing… not drinking.
5- You can’t sit on your brother’s face!
6- Oh, no thank you. I don’t need your finger up my nose. Or in
my ear. Or my mouth.
7- Chocolate doesn’t count as dinner. No, neither does a package
of doodles.
8- The drain is not going to eat your food and make them say (in
a high-pitched voice), “Help Me Raegan, Help Me”!
9- Please close the door before all the bugs take up residence in
our house.
10- We don’t hide candy in the couch. Please take it out before
it melts.
But, regardless of the strange things I find myself saying I am most thankful for my two precious kiddos!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Happy happy Thanksgiving to all of you. these are the precious times that try Mother's and Father's souls and hearts. Love you all
