Love 'only the dolphins can hear you now' - think I'm going to have to store that one up for later...
Also we have:

'DS, what noise does a lion make?'
'Arrooooo' (which means grrrrrr)

"WHAT PART OF STOP DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?"

TheMadHouse · 29/10/2008 19:37

What part of NO dont you understand
For Pity's sake (DS2 says that now)
I wants never gets
Whats the magic word (yeh I know should be abracadabera)
You are not the boss of me

Although I am often found saying

I love you
What a peachy bum you have
Well done

When things are really bad I just lock myself in the downstairs loo

DH calls my bro a muppett all the time and DS1 called a child one at Preschool 2 weeks ago - I was proud he even got the contect right

RhinestoneCowghoul · 29/10/2008 19:38

Now constantly repeated back to me on a daily basis:

'Just leave it...' (DS is 2)

IllegallyBrunette · 29/10/2008 19:40

Since they broke up, i have been constantly saying 'stop banging', as it sounds like I am keeping elephants upstairs.

I also say 'I want doesn't get'

Oh and specifically to dd1 'you have no rights'.

SlasherGoober · 29/10/2008 19:43

Put it down.

Look with your eyes, not your fingers.

I'll tell Santa.

mammyofET · 29/10/2008 20:16

DS - Just 2

'I'll be 2 minutes'
'Never mind.'

melpomene · 29/10/2008 20:31

We'll sort it out later.
In a minute!
I'm not an octopus.
TTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYY UUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPPPP!

SmileandWave · 29/10/2008 20:33

"How many times!!!???"

"Can anyone tell me about a smell?"

SmugColditz · 29/10/2008 20:45

Ask nicely

Get your hands out of your trousers!

WAIT

"One! Two! ..."

Because he's your brother and you love him

Sssh! ds2 is asleep!

arfishy · 29/10/2008 21:10

I'm going to count to 3. If I get to 3 something VERY BAD will happen.

Must be 'my heads banging'

cos my dd keeps saying it when ds starts crying

hellish · 30/10/2008 00:37

Please try and do the things you need to do to get ready for bed WITHOUT me having to remind you.

Every night. It never works.

PortAndDemon · 30/10/2008 01:11

Put your bottom ON your chair.

Hands out of trousers.

PLEASE don't poke your sister.

No, not "I'm just...". Don't do it.

DS, I AM TALKING TO YOU / ASKED YOU A QUESTION!

hammouhouseofhorror · 30/10/2008 01:19

Chairs have four legs for a good reason.

It's a sofa NOT a trampoline, this is a living room not a gymnasium.

Jeeeeeesus!

Right thats it, time in the chokey for you.

wehaveallbeenthere · 30/10/2008 01:37

Dinner will be ready WHEN it's ready.
Tomorrow is another day.
Of all the moms in the world I'm glad you chose me.
Why is crying?
You know where the corner is.
Pick up.
Don't touch it. What is it? NooOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

woodstock3 · 30/10/2008 14:06

'leave the dog alone'
'what did you just put in your mouth?'
'no, it's not morning yet'

sazzerbear · 30/10/2008 14:11

18 mo ds:

Stop harassing the dog

chop chop

We'll go to the park later

Wait your turn (as often trying to push some kid off the slide)

citronella · 30/10/2008 14:42
