    Seriously glad I’m not the only one who has to tell my kid repeatedly to not touch the trash can.

    I repeatedly have to tell my 2yr old to get her hands out of the back of her pants. “Get your hand out of your pants!!” over and over again. Lovely!!

    Unfortunately, Jenny isn’t too far off about #23. My husband is 35 and mt step-son is 15 and they send each other cell phone pics of their poop.

    To my two year old daughter: leave your vagina alone!
    Please don’t yell vagina!
    Boys know they have a penis, you don’t need to tell them!
    Please leave my belly button alone!

    Leave the dog alone
    what’s on your face?

    Good ones.
    Some of mine:
    Why are you naked?
    Don’t sit on your sisters head!
    Leave the dog’s butt alone!
    Is that a happy dance or a potty dance?

    I could go on and on. 🙂

    once again you have summed up my life.

    Esp the “you have to wear pants today”

    we went to the playground yesterday: one kid in pj’s, one in his robe, one dressed – but he’s not quite 2 so I dress him. Couldn’t be bothered fighting the others to get dressed.

    It only occurred to me to check that kid #2 had something on -under- his robe once we got to the park. He said “yes, that’s why I have to wear my robe” but with a grin. so I chased him round the slide to check. Thankfully he had underwear on. *phew* #Notscaringothermumsattheplaygroundmuch

    Later kid #3 went paddling in the pool fully clothed. Couldn’t be bothered fighting him to get his togs on. Plus at least he was warm that way, given it was an outdoor pool and it’s autumn here now, so it’s getting kinda chilly.

    #mumfail. What can I say? It was friday.

    But at least they were happy. :O)
