Phrases you never thought you'd say...

DS1 is 21 months, DS2 is 3 weeks. I find myself increasingly using phrases that, pre children, I never would have thought I'd need. At the time, they always sound reasonable...

So far today...

'No DS1, we don't poke the baby with a ladle' as he tried to scoop DS2's head into a plastic ladle he loves. No contact was actually made, I hasten to add.

'DS1, we don't need to measure what size shoes the cat takes' as he tried to work out how to apply our newly acquired Clarks foot measuring tool to the very patient, deaf cat.

Grin

Anyone else find themselves using bizarre phrases or is it just me and DH that have gone nuts?

I recently used the phrase 'that's not daddy, that's Nelson Mandela'.

Dp is a 38 yo white male with a bald head, Ds was pointing to the cover of Long Walk to Freedom Confused

'Yes, I suppose willies are quite funny. Don't put it on my Kindle!'

'I don't want to talk about dog poo while I'm eating my dinner!'

'No, I don't think that lady looks like a man, can you talk a bit more quietly please? And walk a bit faster?'

Ds will you take that giraffe out my knickers.
When he was using clean knickers hung on the clothes horse as a hammock for his animals.

There are loads of things I never thought I'd say. Wish I had written them down for threads like this.

No, stop brushing the dogs teeth with your toothbrush. I know she ate cat poo earlier but that won't help.

No DS [aged 4] we can't leave your sister [aged 21 months] in her cot while we go to soft play. No, not even if we tie her in. No, not even if we leave her a biscuit as well.

DS, worms will not be nice and comfy in your bed.

DS, pull your trousers up. Why? Well because nobody else is sitting here in Starbucks in just their pants, that's why.

"Leave your willy alone. It will go BANG!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!!"

"No, being naughty is NOT funny!!"

"Bang!!!!"

Then he tucks me up in bed for a pre-night shift nap and says "sweet dreams mummy" and all is well again.....Envy
