A running list of phrases I have found coming out of my mouth for whatever the situation currently is while raising a little boy - full of giggles, joy, wonder & love, with a tiny dash of chaos.
- We aren't dipping the Ritz cracker in ketchup.
Bonus: "I'm saying no to the question. I understand, I do not need the hand gesture. It's still the no." [when he added in a hand motion to the repeated phrase "dip it" and a point to the fridge.
- Please take the cracker out of your ear. It goes in your mouth, or on your tray.
- If you pee on your shirt on purpose while I'm changing your diaper, you're wearing a shirt with pee on it today. That's life.
- I don't make the rules. Well, that's a lie I do make your rules. But I didn't make this one.
- I'm sorry we have housing and do not live outside.
- I'm sorry we can't breathe underwater like fish do, to be able to always be in a body of water. And, so you don't drown. I know, I agree that it's unfair and I am sorry.
