Things only a parent would say

[Dave Mc]

If you have kids, you've found yourself saying things you just can't believe you just said. Tonight at dinner I actually heard myself say...

"please don't itch your belly with your bean"

For some reason my son thought an uncooked Green Bean was a good implement to scratch and itch with.

That's just something I never expected to have to say.

I'm sure many of you have said things even more strange. Let's hear 'em! I could use the entertainment.

I guess my kids have snow deprivation living in AZ.
I had to yell at them for sliding down the staircase on their mattresses (like toboggans).

"please don't itch your belly with your bean"

Sounds like the title of a mid 60's folk song

We used to do that w/ sheets! We only got yelled at after my little half brother got hurt.

My kids tried that on our stairs (17 steps!)...tobogganing down with a Spiderman folding foam couch. I told them that anything that goes down those stairs...whether tossed or ridden on...or rolled...goes straight into the garbage.

And I always tell them that if they get hurt doing something I had already warned them not to do, to expect no sympathy from me. (I have a tough bark but a soft bite)...

I also always tell them, "I am the law."

I know exactly what you mean. I've thought several times, "My kids are intelligent, why do I have to tell them not to do ...?" And it's usually a combination of words that you never thought would share a sentence.

I had to tell my 3 year old that daddy's light sabre is not a toy.......then I thought about it and felt bad so I let him play with it.

... I have a Weaponry Trophy Case over here...
The Average new Weapon lasts about 2 days after being purchased,.. by Relatives & Friends..., I refuse to buy him those items anymore...

Swords, Pwr Ranger Crap, guns, whatever, are all stacked there.

BTW... The thing I half to tell the Boy the Most,.. is put some cloths on. Once he's home,.. he just Roll's around the House in his Grun's ,.. & nothing else, ever. Even when company comes over.

LoL..That's funny My son does the same thing.He comes home from school then takes off his pants and plays games in his underwear!?!?!?!?
You have to tell him to go put pants on cause company is coming over and he is mad saying "Do they have to?".
Better yet you say stay dressed were going out. he replies ah man do we have to.
We even bought him a whole bunch of shorts thinking pant were just to hot....But nope that didn't help...LOL
