'Oh, this dog is breastfeeding from the Grinch!'

(I hate role-play games...)

Rodney was on his last straw anyway, he recently lost his eyebrows (best feature) when we were trying to get the pen marks off his face.
My daughter told me there is no way a vet (her main barbie) was going to be with a man who can't even look after his eyebrows. How was she supposed to trust him with all the animals after that.

She makes a good point!

"Please don't sing that at nursery" after a lovely verse of "if you're happy and you know it, play with your genitals"

AwBlessm · 25/02/2024 22:21

These are great! So many patient pets out there, too.

Is that poo on your foot?

Me correcting my 3 year old while she is singing...

" It's tear us apart, not tear us a fart"

A conversation about PJ masks...

"So I'm Owlet and daddy is Ice Cum!?!" Just for reference the characters name is Ice Cub, but not according to my daughter.

Why have you got a guitar and a robot hand down the front of a fancy dress costume? Get the guitar out of the pants now

Underwear is non-negotiable at the dinner table

We had this rule. Dd2 just loved to be naked. Knickers at dinner time was the compromise. At 12 she’s happiest in a onesie (but I think she’d still rather be naked is social norms allowed).

Also, “do not put your toe in your sister’s foofoo!” (twins in the bath at age 2.5).

Stop hitting your brother with a sword.

Don't tell nursery that I gave you gin and tonic for breakfast.
To be fair, it was the Belvoir juniper tonic drink, not giving a 3 year old booze!

The bleach is beside the vodka in my desk drawer (science project). Phone conversation with child while I was away for work.

I did have a bit of explaining to do to my colleagues who overheard.

Please take the LEGO Star Wars helmet off the end of your willy.

Stop wiping your snot on the wall next to your bed. 🤮

Not just my dc that do that then!

MassiveOvaryaction · 26/02/2024 09:58

I remember a 'no sword fighting on the stairs' one years back. Dh is a reenactor though so could equally be to him as to the dc Grin

Sauvblanctime · 26/02/2024 10:04

I have loads of these 🤣🤣

’can you please stop trying to put your own penis in your mouth thank you’ is by far the most ridiculous one 💀

Isanyoneawake44 · 26/02/2024 10:04

'Don't put your willy on your sister'

'Don't wee on the dog'

I have no words for my preschooler son...

Stop licking the dog/floor/carpet/tree (to be fair he does have a great immune system)

Illpickthatup · 26/02/2024 10:28

Right, give K her boob back.

My friend has a prosthetic boob after having breast cancer. DSD5 found out about it and was wearing it as a hat and asking us to time how long she could keep it on her head while balancing on her gymnastics beam. 🙈

FrenchandSaunders · 26/02/2024 10:30

"Will you please stop trying to set light to the watermelon" .... older teens by the way, not toddlers 😀

Illpickthatup · 26/02/2024 10:35

"You want to put snails in your flowergirl basket instead of flowers?"

Can you stop counting drains and walk a bit quicker?

’we don’t put toys up our bums’ 🤥🤥🤥

Sauvblanctime · 26/02/2024 11:30

We don’t put pasta on our feet and eat it

Mum I dried my slime on the towel!!

Don’t put a peg on your sisters nose (she would have been 5 months old…)

‘Mum I’ve wrapped this round my finger and now my finger is purple’

Don’t lick the soap / your sisters hair please

There’s loads. All the same kid 🤣🤣

Please stop yelling "bum worms" at the dinner table.

Fine you can say bum worms at the dinner table but you must promise not to say it at school.

Oh we’ve had the bum worm chat too. Thanks Bluey!
