Don't Hit Anyone With That Monkey!

Don't Hit Anyone With That Monkey!

Things they don't tell you about parenthood.

If someone had told me 15 years ago that I would be saying things like "Don't hit anyone with that monkey!"  I'd have said they were crazy.  This is just one of the lines my wife and I have written down out of the hundreds and hundreds of things we say to our kids and then realize how crazy that just sounded.  If you've got 1 or 2, share please.

 

 

*The incident involved a stuffed monkey that was being swung around at the other bipeds in the house.

"Boys! Don't do that in front of the shed! Use the potty!" ~When my wife saw the boys going in the back yard.

Hehe!   Now if any of those flowers die.... their replacements come out of your pocket money.

No, son, that was NOT the dog!  - after he and a mate had a pissing contest to see who could get it farthest up the wall, and I had discovered the liquid cooling had shattered a light globe....

....sure he was a big dog (rottweiler big).... but not almost 7 foot up the wall big. O:)

"Please take Stinky off the table."

 

*My youngest son attached himself to a blanket.  He takes it everywhere.  We have to wash it every other day because he drags it all over the place, outside, inside...we started calling it Stinky and it's stuck.  Ever see Mr. Mom? Yeah.

Boy, am I ever glad I read your explanation after seeing this! :w00t:

"What were you thinking!?!"

 

I said this to my 2-year-old son once when he did something rediculously nonsensical. I have come to discover that most 2-year-olds don't usually think when they behave strangely.

Ya, I don't think they actually develop brains until about 4.  That's when they start to get ideas, like, oh, I don't know, say, taking off their clothes before playing in the dirt pile because he (er, I mean "they") doesn't want to get them dirty.  ;P

Things we have to say to kids are really funny, but now that I am thinking about it, I have to tell you the funniest thing I ever heard a 4 year old say.

 

Ok, years ago when I was dating this girl, She had a 4 year old son. We were getting in the car to go somewhere. We both turned around looking at him in the back seat. He had his seatbelt on but his door was still open. So his mother asked if he should close his door first. He look at her with an innocent look and said. " No I want to keep it open so people can say 'Look at that Dumb Ass riding down the street with his door open'"

 

I looked at her and she gave her son a look like she was going to tear him a new one , but instead both her and I just started busting a gut. Man I laughed uncontrollably for a good 30 minutes :rofl:

If you expect me to clean up that mess after you... at least show me where you hid the mop and bucket.  Said to my then 6 y/o daughter who was play cooking on the kitchen floor... doll set utensils, real ingredients.

:(O ;P

"That is not chocolate. That's stinky.. ewwww get in the bathroom. Listen to me- there will never be chocolate in the bathroom, so if it looks like chocolate, don't touch it!"

Said to my two year old when he came out of the bathroom excited about the "chocolate" on his finger. :puke:

MG, precisely my reaction.  I've seen and smelled things in my 12 years as a parent that I don't even want to talk about.

Maybe it's convenient forgetfulness, but I don't seem to remember doing this sort of thing to my parents! At least not at this (toddler) age. Now at the baby age, that's another story. My parents tell me of something I did that they refer to as "The machine gun."

"Stop licking your shirt!"

I said this to my 2-year-old this morning at breakfast. I'm still not quite sure why he was doing it. I suppose he must have spilled milk on his shirt... ;P

"What are you doing naked?!"

Said this to my 2-year-old the other day. Walked in the bathroom and found him as such.

Seems almost all of these have to do with my 2-year-old!

"You have to stop playing in the litterbox!"

 

   My son loves his cars, but man that's just nasty.   :(O

"There's no time to pick your toes now! Get your boots on!"

Said to my 3 year old this morning as he was diligently trying to pick the sock lint out of his toes. ;P

"Ha!  I'm so pleased to see that you're seeing first-hand what you put me through!!"... said earlier today to my now 30 y/o daugher, while her 4 y/o daughter threw a tantrum over something she couldn't have.

;P

Ahhh...the joys of parenthood.

My youngest was ouside in the snow playing...looks up at the impossibly blue sky at a jet contrail and pointing at it

says, "Airpane daddy, AIRPANE!".

I came back into the house and told Anne (my friend) about it.

She replied, "About time, he's 28."
