Did you go potty yet?
Did you wash your hands?
No spitting!
WHY are you taking off your shirt?
Blow. With your nose.
Put your shoes back on!
When’s your father going to be home?
Just eat it!
No!
This is the LAST book!
WHERE did you learn that?
Life ISN’T fair.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I could never never hate you.
Don’t throw that!
Do you WANT to spend all day in time-out?
You can have dessert AFTER you eat your dinner.
Stop!
Quit stabbing your sister with the toothbrush!
Who wants to play Sorry!?
No biting!
I saw that!
Get back in bed. Lay down. Close your eyes.
No more snacks! We’ll eat tons tomorrow.

And, when you can’t hear me:
What is WRONG with you? / Where did I go wrong?
It’s lucky you’re adorable and sweet-smelling after a bath. Because. Otherwise?

And, when you’re sleeping, and you really can’t hear me:
I could watch you for hours, and not even feel silly for crying about how inconceivably, stupendously, over-every-top-there-ever-was much I love you.
Oh, did I forget to say that when you were awake? Sorry.
I love you!

I can hear myself saying such things in the near future. Right now it’s, “No Take, No hit, Ok, now that’s Mama’s.”

Oh wow, I can relate to this one. I would love to go one day without using the words “poop” or “pee-pee”. I would also have to add:
Did you wash your hands? (pause) WITH soap??
Leave your sister (or brother) alone!
When I speak, do words actually come out of my mouth?

HHAHA. I loved this post! My boys are starting to imitate me. My son’s birthday gift reaction “Oh my stars!”. My 3 year old to his 1 year old brother “Have you lost your mind? What part of NO don’t you understand”. Yeah… it’s not pretty but it is HILARIOUS! The other night my DH and I were laughing about something on tv after the boys were in bed. 5 year old comes in and says “Ok, you two. No more laughing. You be serious right now or I’ll spank you and put one of you in time out on top of the fridge”.

Turn.off.the.light. Oh man, I’d be rich if I had a dollar everytime I had to say it. Every single day – two, three, four times…. holy cow.

I completely missed this the last time I checked in but I love it. I would also add:
“stop hitting your sister”
“Use your nice words please”
“Max, do you have poop in your diaper?”
“Did you know that I love you more than chocolate chip cookies?”
[Reply]
Mine would sadly include:
Stop eating the dog food.
Stop letting the dog eat food out of your mouth.
I have to wipe that poop off your bum so stop squirming.
Please don’t poop until dad gets home.

Is it my imagination or did you miss the worst of all:
Because I Said SO!
Maybe your kids are too little still. As they get older the debating increases. I’m all for raising an intelligent child, but come on!
