Things Mothers of Boys Say....

It's funny, because it's true....

Random collection of the things I have found myself saying over the past few weeks.

• "Come get this head out from underneath the kitchen table."

• "The tree branch is not coming in the house." 

• "What did my couch ever do to you?"

• "I want all the body parts in the hallway picked up and taken back to your room."

• "Look out for the mud! Loo--- Take your shoes off before you get back in the van."

• "Will you please rescue the skeleton trapped underneath the kitchen sink?"

• "Tell me that the hamster made it back into the cage safely."

• "Drop and give me twenty."

• "Watch your fingers! Watch your fingers! Watchyourfingersfingersfingers----- Do you want me to get  some ice for your fingers?"

• "Do NOT put that down your sister's shirt."

• "Can the ice pirate come out of the freezer now?"

• "Do I need to call your father?"

• "Go SCRUB your hands...with SOAP!!!"

• "So help me, if you ask me what's for dinner one more time..."

• "Yes, you can sleep in your fort."

• "You made that? By yourself? That's incredible!"
