Things I Never Thought I'd Hear Myself Say

So in my 15+ years of mothering, some pretty funny things have come out of my mouth. Every once in a while it will strike me-- 'Gee, I never thought that I'd hear myself say that!' So, in an attempt to document all of those precious pearls that I offer to my kids, I am starting a segment on my blog. If you have a good one, I'd love to hear and feature it.

Today's Dose:

"You know, pirates don't pee-pee in their pull-ups."

That's a good one. Love the idea of doing this--I'll have to come back if I think of a good one.

OOOhhh does your boy like pirates? Mine does too. That is a very good thing to say to get on their level. A great (and absurdly funny) mothering pearl.

I told my boys I was going to SELL them to the pirates!
Then one time my second boy wouldn't stop touching something so I said I was going to cut his finger off! He just laughed WOW I say mean things!

Okay...I don't have kids; I have a hamster. However, I do say things and clasp my hand over my mouth with a hushed, "That was SO my mother talking." Does that count?! :o)
