As a parent, you have the unique opportunity to guide a young person through life into adulthood. Teaching them along the way the things they should or should not do. We get to say things like, “don’t eat off the floor” and “ go brush your teeth.” These are of the norm.
But, sometimes you get to form and speak sentences that you just have to stop and giggle over.
Like, here are some of the things I have said in the last week:
“ Please, do not lick the baby.”
“Good job putting on your shoes, but you need two of the same shoe.”
“Yes, you have to wear pants to school.”
“You have to take off the dirty underwear before you put on the clean ones.”
But, so far this week my favorite happen tonight.
“Hey. HEY! Yes you! Turn that off. No leaf blowers in the house.”
I wish I was making some of this up.
