Things you thought you'd never have to say!!!

...starting with a friend who had to say "Jacob, stop petting the cactus!" Our greatest hits include "Get your sister's head out of the toilet!" and "Why are you gagging yourself?"

Don't they always involve licking?

To DD8, around the age of 4: "Don't lick the tablecloth!"

To both DDs around the age of 3: "Don't lick your boots" (Both enjoyed licking snow off their boots while sitting in the car seat, as I was driving, unable to do anything about it.)

The worst is my girlfriend's example to one of her boys, age uncertain (3-6?)
"Don't lick the plunger!"

My kids are in college now, but this brings back memories
To Daughter: No you may not put your brother in the trash...Daughter had said to me: I put baby in the trash now, this after I brought son home from hospital...we had a laugh about that needless to say it took her time to get used to having a baby brother....
To son: Do NOT take my toaster apart, as I walk into the living room while he had the entire thing dismantled, how he did that I the small time I left the room I will never know..(note: he is now studying industrial technology minor computer science, he always had a need to see how things work including anything with parts that wasn't tied down!)
To Daughter: No you may NOT paint the walls ever again No you may not paint the lamp or the sofa or whatever thank God for washable paints... (note she has just graduated with her BFA in painting! AND she just got paid to do a mural...(ON A WALL)of a local hospital! so much for not painting on walls..LOL)She painted anything and everything, anything that was unpainted became painted in our home!)
To husband...oh god please not another renovation! LOL he is an architect!
Have a great day everyone!
