When I taught kindergarten, I often wished I could make a recording of myself saying the following: "Raise your hand." "Use your inside voice." "Sit on your bottom." "Shhh." "Walk!" "Hands to yourself." "Hands off the wall." "Just try." "Good job!"
Being home all the time these days, I hear myself saying the same things over and over, with a new, odd phrase thrown in occasionally for variety. Here are some things I have heard myself saying OVER AND OVER lately, some sounding eerily like my mother, and some sounding just WEIRD.
Get your hands off her (him)!!!
Be nice!
You need to LOVE your sister (brother)!
I swear I will stop this car!
(lips disappearing, teeth bared, veins popping; learned from MY mama) GO TO YOUR ROOM.
Go play. It's mommy time.
I'd better not see that again.
Don't you run from me.
Stop licking me.
Don't...DON'T...I'll bite you back!
Get off your sister!
You have till the count of three to KNOCK IT OFF.
Do you want a swat?
I'm going to spank you.
You don't tell ME no!
We don't look up people's shirts. PUT MY SHIRT DOWN.
Just a minute!
How do I turn you off?
Do you EVER stop talking?
Just push the little triangle button and it will play.
Do you want to get smushed by a car?
Boys don't WEAR dresses!
Girls don't pee pee in the YARD! (pictures coming soon!)
You will too hold my hand!
Hush!
QUIT WHINING. I do not speak whinese.
I GIVE UP.
And some favorites quotes from the children themselves:
G - It's not mommy time, it has to be G time! (yes, G, I'm learning that)
L - Don't PINCH MY BOOB! (omg, I DON'T know where she picked that up. She most likes to scream that one during church.)

Ah, but you didn't see HOW she did it...pants and underwear (G's briefs) pulled to her knees, back arched, hands around her private parts (like when she sees G hold his 'part'). And frighteningly enough, it actually made a stream that arched outward.
Lucy, that is hilarious...our children would get along so well!
Children are so disgusting...I cleaned up a trail of "little brown balls" myself, just the other day.
hahaha!
