(Things I Never Thought I’d Say)

May 14, 2009 by Ami 4 Comments

Boys are so interesting.  I never pictured myself as a mom of boys, but here I am (and I have no desire to trade them in for girls).   I laugh a lot and shake my head a lot, too!

Here are some of the recent questions and statements from my mouth to their ears…

Why is there smashed banana on the bed?

While shopping– Please stop licking the floor.

Why would you eat a spider?

Why would you leave your toothbrush on the floor…next to the toilet?

Why do I see spaghetti sauce on the wall?

Please don’t eat ice cream with your hands.

Stop pouring sand on your head.  No, not a good idea to pour it on your brother’s head, either.

Did you really think sending your brother down the stairway in a box was a good idea?

Why is there a very dirty, very wet sock in the bathtub?

And the question I ask on a daily basis…

Are you trying to drive me nuts, or does it just come natural?

Enjoy your boys!

    I just wanted to say…

    1) I LOVE YOU PRE-SCHOOL IDEAS !!!!!

    I’ve had three girls, and I’ve said many of these things to my 3rd! She is a climber, jumper, eater of all things kind of girl. So, I just had to share some funny things I’ve said to her too. She’ll be 3 in November, and is adopted from Guatemala (our only adopted child).

    Why did you pour that in your food?

    We don’t eat doggie food, or drink the doggie’s water!

    Don’t you dare jump from there!

    Why would you paint your whole body with yogurt? (That is a long story.)

    If you keep doing that, you and that chair are going to go through that window!!!

    Abiding in His grace and for His glory,

    I have one to add. “Who thought it was a good idea to pee in the trash can in the bathroom instead of the potty.” Turns out it was my eldest son trying to frame his younger brother for the grossness.

    Oh…it’s not just the boys! I have a 24mo girl and an 11mo girl and I’ve recently found myself saying things like,

    “Your sister is NOT a sailboat!” (as the older attempted to sail the younger across the living room while singing “sailing, sailing”)

    So even if you did trade them in, it may not make a difference!
