Things you wouldn't think you'd have to tell someone, but you do, more than once.

"Open your eyes while you’re running, pal."

"Oh god, never touch anything in a room that smells this bad."

"I really don't enjoy it when you wipe your nose on my face."

"Please don’t eat things you find on your butt."

Add yours below.

"If your kid thinks Six times Five is Thirty-Five and A Thesaurus is a Dinosaur, don't you think it might be time to reconsider this whole Homeschool idea?"

"Don't drink things you find in the street!"

Honest.

From my friend, while I was talking to her on the phone:

"Don't wash your hands in the toilet."

Um, she was talking to her toddler, not me.

"I saw you playing the piano on 'whose line is it anyway' last night!"

"These are really funny looking sinks to wash your hands in mommy!" sidenote: my daughter & I somehow went into the men's RR at a sporting event & this is what I found her doing...yes, washing in the urinal!

"PLEASE, don't lick your nose anymore. You're getting a rash."

"When I told you to stop biting your fingernails, it was IMPLIED that I ALSO did not want you biting your TOENAILS."

"It smells like something crawled into your mouth and DIED." (Sure, I used to say "Go brush your teeth" like everyone else, but it got boring.)

"If you fart on me again I'm going to sell you into slavery and I AM NOT KIDDING THIS TIME."

"I know you don't want to, honey, but it's ok: Everyone who eats has to poop."

Times a zillion.

"Please stop inviting your baby brother into the bathroom after you've pooped. I'm tired of finding him with his hands in the potty."

Get the potty seat off your head.

"Get your finger out of your nose" (to my 3 y.o. daugher)"We don't stand on our head at the dinner table" (to both the 3 and 6 y.o.)"Stop grooming ______ (insert cute cheerleader's name here)" to my 9th grade male students."Put your name on your paper, put your name on your paper, for the love of gawd, put your name on your paper."

"Don't taste puddles of stuff!!!" (to an 8YEAR OLD!) and "Stop slipping me the tongue!" (same kid)

These are great! Our favorite is: "Please get your hands out of the kitty's butt."

Just 2 hours ago, this one happened: I was tickling my son and blowing raspberries on his tummy, when he made a request.

I have only said this once, and I hope to never have to say it again:

"No, I won't 'magic' your penis."
April 13, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterVelma
" quit digging in your butt""If you're going to treat me like a maid then I'll have to charge you! Maids get paid ya know!""what stinks?""stop screaming!"" sitting on my face, and bouncing up and down, hurts, honey!"

April 13, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterCheeriobutt
Gawd, I got nothing on Velma....

"stop chewing on the cat!!!""No, you cannot eat kitty cookies" (cat food)"DO NOT PINCH MOMMY'S BOOBS!!!!"
April 13, 2006 | Unregistered Commenterchristie
'magic' you penis is my new favourite line.

this week it was "rabbit poop may LOOK like chocolate, but it isn't".

Please don't hug/pet mommies boobies in public.
April 13, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterVenturaMom
Please don't put your boogies (i.e. boogers) in my tea.
April 13, 2006 | Unregistered CommenterSharon
Please do not give your brother the toilet brush. It's dirty.

Please stop licking the boogers off your top lip. Just go get a tissue and blow your nose.

Mommy doesn't want the food that you just put in your mouth and chewed on...

That is not your chew toy, that is for the puppy.

Please do not wear Daddy's dirty underwear on your head.

Yes, those are Mommy's boobs. Please quit showing them to the world.

I just remembered another one:

"No, honey, you don't grow hair on your butt when you grow up."
April 13, 2006 | Unregistered Commenterfoodmomiac
My husband, to our 4 and 5-year old boys standing at the toilet together, urinating:

"Be careful, don't pee on each other.""I said, 'Don't pee on each other.'""Stop peeing on each other!"
