"No, we don't stick our thumbs up our bum"
Which DS(3) thought was absolutely hilarious and then launched in to a standard tirade of "BUT WWWHHHYYYYY?!".

“Why are all your toys on the roof”?

“What did you think would happen when you hammered your mobile with a screwdriver?”

“Who ate the raw turkey strips that were for tonight’s tea?”

“Why are there 12 broken eggs on the patio?” (within 5 minutes if my unpacking the groceries and preparing to bake)

“So, why did polar bear cut all the cords on the blinds?”

Shouting ' you can't have any more salad until you've eaten your pizza' in a restaurant.

LoneRangerRiding · 23/03/2019 18:09

“Why does the cat smell of haggis?”

“Why is the cat sparkly?”

“For the love of god will you stop sniffing the cat!”

Poor cat

MummasTheWord · 23/03/2019 18:39

Don’t put your hands down your pants (or down the toilet) then try to lick your fingers!!!!

WitheringEyeRoll · 23/03/2019 18:46

‘No I do not want a glass of wine!’

Ds (2) has seen me drink once I generally wait until he is in bed . Since the ONE time he saw me have a small glass of red at a friends, all I hear is
‘Glass of wine, mummy?’

I’m sure that everyone I know thinks that I am trying to cover up a problem.

QuestionableMouse · 23/03/2019 18:53

Don't put Smarties up your brother's bum. Or in your bum.

He (3yo) shoved it up his nose instead 😣

HistoriaTrixie · 23/03/2019 18:53

DS, please don't shoot any more cannonballs into the fishtank, you've hit Petunia Chowder!

--After DS shot the ball-bearing-like "cannonballs" that came with a model trebuchet he and his friend had just put together into our cichlid tank and hit one of the fish.

EggysMom · 23/03/2019 19:46

On the licking theme, ours was 'Don't lick the lamp post!"

Rico08 · 23/03/2019 20:04

No I’m not doing the conga round the supermarket with you.

Who’s left the plug in the sink and put toilet paper in the overflow (whilst cleaning up a flooded bathroom)

TheEntertainerr · 23/03/2019 20:44

When potty training DD, I had tried get her on the toilet before she'd done a poo but I was too late, she was soiled. I placed her on the toilet whilst I cleaned the mess in the bedroom.

No, don't touch your bum and noo noo.

(Whilst getting up off the bedroom floor and dashing to the bathroom) Don't touch anything. Don't wipe your hands round your face. DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR MOUTH!

DD's reply - mmm delish.

I can't wait to tell her she ate her own poo when she's a teenager.

Nats1606 · 23/03/2019 20:47

For the love of god stop flossing when I’m trying to tell you off!.....

don’t lick the trolley/till/the car/the window/the park bench

Stop smelling your brother’s bum in the bath

Port1ajazz · 23/03/2019 21:25

" How did the bead get up your nose"? "I pushed it there of course " !

LittleDoritt · 23/03/2019 21:34

Spit the snail out.

We don't kiss public bins. Or any bins!

Both DD2. Little minger.

Bringmevino · 23/03/2019 23:36

Please don’t wrap your willy around my wrist.....whilst reading bedtime stories to DS then aged 4

elQuintoConyo · 23/03/2019 23:46

Fingers aren't for bums. No, peas aren't for bums either.

Stop drinking the dog's water.

Why did you give the dog a fringe? Hmm
