OneOfHisJewels -> Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/4/2008 1:18:31 AM)

My dad told me that when I was a kid, he couldn't think of all the things to tell me not to do...

So what are some of the Don't do............'s that you never thought of that you've had to say?

Don't...lick the window on the train! stick "that" in your mouth! put "that thing" from your nose on the wall! [:'(]

Do...take a shower as it's been three summer days (to a 13-year old girl)! shave as you have intermittent scraggliness (to a high school junior)! wash the chocolate off your face (to teens)! [;)]

Telling my then 2 year old to not pick up gum off the sidewalk and chew it.

"I don't want to pull your tooth" as my 6 year old daughter un-relentlessly begged me after finishing her food at a packed chinese buffett restaurant. So I looked around, grabbed my napkin and gave a quick pull. And immediately a lady near by said, "Did you just do what I think you did?" And sheepshily I said, "I'm sorry, yes I did" and we both had a good laugh about it. For some reason my kids want their teeth out at the restaurant. My son again, was not going to give it a rest at Applebee's. [8|][8|]

"Seth don't kiss the bug!"



Row1 -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/8/2008 1:22:16 PM)

yesterday: "don't use the pliers on the cat."
my 2yo boy is fascinated by real tools (just like real computers, cameras, etc. the toy ones are not entertaining).
so i figure: how much trouble can he get into with a pair of pliers (yes the outlets are covered)?
well, now I know. And so does the cat. Ouch!

"Did you just squirt oil on the couch?"

As my son was oiling his trumpet. On the couch. And whipped out the oil and squirted it faster than I could blink my eyes.

(Thank goodness for Scotchguard!)

Don't (to my nine year old daughter) put your nose up against that turtle's beak and tell him how cute he is.

And don't (to my eleven year old son) stand there flapping your arms and yelling at the top of your lungs when a turtle has a hold of your sister's nose - it doesn't really help.

Oh man, that gave me a good giggle.

Last night; "Mary don't eat the cat." She is 5 months old and has learned how to belly crawl around. Verbal, the big fat black cat was being petted by Ryan so Mary decided to go visit the cat as well.

"Put that dead mouse down now!" to 2 yo.

"What did you expect would happen when you put a blanket over a lamp?!!" to 14 yo who started blanket smoldering because she wanted to dim the light downstairs.

"Ewwww!" while removing fly bits from from 9 month old's mouth

"Your legs will be all right. They've just gone to sleep because of the way you were sitting on them." to hysterical 2 yo when we all got up to leave the restaurant.

"This is how you smell when you don't take a shower for 4 days at camp." to 13 yo holding up Dad's sweaty t-shirt from mowing the lawn in July the day after he mowed the lawn (it needed the aging to get the whole point across).



Kat_D -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/24/2008 3:08:30 PM)

To my "not afraid of anything" daughter at the age of 3:

Don't...

Swing from the hanging lamp (said after finding that she had climbed up on the table to reach it. Both her, the lamp and a big chunk of ceiling ended up on the floor...followed by a trip to the emergency room).

Jump on the bed (said as she flew out the window (1st story) and ended up on the driveway below...followed by another trip to the emergency room).

Then at the age of six...

Go in the racing lane (said as I rode behind her on the Santa Monica bike path just as she was hit from behind by a guy on a 10 speed...followed by, you guessed it... and oral surgery!

How old is this girl now, Kat? She sounds like my firstborn son's twin!

[:D] There couldn't have been two of them!!!

Seriously, it was unreal, Jenny...I couldn't leave her alone for a moment.

You will find hope in knowing she survived. She is now married!



Jenny-Fair -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/24/2008 3:30:41 PM)

Brandon had 14 emergency hospital visits in 14 years and his father and I have been on the edge of our seats since he turned 15, lemme tell you! So yes, I am glad to know your daughter survived, lol.

The other day, I had to tell Nate that you really DO NOT need a Leatherman when you are making juice...

"Please don't sit on your sister"

"If you jump off that roof one more time, I'm gonna tie you to the fence" (said to an adventurous 6 year old boy after his 3rd jump off the garage roof...same child is now a 21 year old soldier)

"Don't play with the dog doo"

"I don't feel like going to the emergency room tonight"

yeah...lots of kids...I'm sure I'll think of more...



Mrs.X -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/25/2008 10:29:09 PM)

"No, you can't eat your pasta with a hammer"

Lucky kid! No one ever noticed when we jumped off the roof.



Row1 -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/26/2008 12:32:01 AM)

"don't hit the eggs with the hammer."

to a 2yo who has a toy hammer and likes to open the fridge and check things out.

Are you talking about a real live frog? Ouch, poor frog..



OneOfHisJewels -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/26/2008 1:24:14 AM)

These are all so hilarious..thanks for the responses, guys!



zoebob -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/26/2008 6:22:25 AM)

Not a real frog. One of the administrators where I work loves frogs. She has a ceramic frog and the head comes off and it's hollow inside: like a small cookie jar. DS took his head off.



Tinkerbell_ -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/26/2008 8:32:12 AM)

Gah! I had one the other day that I thought...'ugh...did I just say that???' and now I can't remember. *pouts*



Kat_D -> RE: Things you never thought you'd have to say.. (9/26/2008 12:02:48 PM)

"It's okay, that monkey didn't want to hurt you...he just wanted some of your Fritos."

Said to my hysterical 4 year-old after the neighbor's pet monkey got loose, raced across the street and grabbed her bag of chips.
