"I have twins." "Wait, let me smell his/her butt!"
"I just want to pee alone!"
"Baby, no! Let's not eat rocks!"
"Yes, I'd love to eat your foam, letter G, block and spit it in your face for you're never ending entertainment"
"Mommy's butt is not a bongo..."
"Sweetie, peanut butter does not go in your hair."
"I think I'd like to have a third baby."
"Did you just pee in your brother's bed?"
"I can pick my own nose, thank you!"
And I'm not quite 17 months in yet, so I'm sure the really good stuff is still to come! What are the phrases that motherhood (or fatherhood) surprised you with?
Oh boy. Your post brings back so many sweet memories. When my oldest son was still in his car seat in the back, I remember him asking me in a moment of silence, "Mama, what are you thinking?" I was floored. He must have been three? But he was always so keenly sensitive to the feelings of others. Do you want to know what you have to look forward to? Here's a post about him that I'd love to share just because I'm a proud Mama too: http://gwenmossblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/sacramento-debutante-ball-2011.html (Even though my boys are bigger.)

ReplyDeleteThis was too funny! Reminds me so much of things I find myself saying on a daily basis. Especially the " I can pick my own nose!, thank you! "
ReplyDeleteStopping by from MBC. Really like your blog and this post is so funny AND true. My daughter is just a month younger than your twins and I'm amazed by things that come out of my mouth sometimes! Stop by my blog sometime and say hi. For now I'll be adding you to google reader!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny the things you find your self saying already, even though they aren't full blown talkers yet? I'm sure it will only get more interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting, I'm enjoying your blog too now!
Ha! It's so funny because they aren't even very interested in picking their own noses, just mine and their daddy's!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's so impressible for such a young child! Thanks for sharing your post, that was a sweet post. :)
ReplyDelete"I just want to pee alone!" Ha! I say that all the time! I can;t wait for the washroom to be regained as a place of privacy. These are great quotes. As for the nose-picking, use this classic line: "You can pick you friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends' noses!"
ReplyDeleteLOL! Sounds famiiar, though I do not have twins.
ReplyDeleteHopping over from voiceboks. New follower.

You lost me on the third baby one. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am jumping over as well from voiceBoks and I must say that being a mother of 2 that are 15 & 8 I still have to sneak off the bathroom to get in there with the door locked but I still have them at the door before I am done asking why I locked the door & what am I doing? LOL I love those little things! I can't even take a bath alone without my daughter whom is 8 wanting to join me.
ReplyDeleteYour list sounds just like mine, but I have 6 kiddies and we are done, and i do have twins :-) the list gets longer and longer as they get older..
ReplyDeleteHa! I can relate, although, I just have one little one, not two. It's amazing how once "off-limit" topics are suddenly dinner conversation, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your list!! I've said many of the same things myself, except I don't have twins, but with three kids I know all about the desire for a bit of privacy and yes, believe it or not I have said "Mommy's butt is not a bongo"!! I have two boys after coming from an all girl family. I have to say I never in a million years thought I would use the word penis so much!!! Lol!! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI like, Baby no, let's not eat rocks...too funny! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI heard myself telling my 23-month-old, "Don't lick the sidewalk!" and I just couldn't believe it. Who knew what I'd be dealing with when I decided to have kids?
ReplyDeleteThose are hilarious! I've found myself saying "Please don't sit in the freezer" and "Your sister is not a trampoline". I get scared though when I catch myself saying things that sound like my own mother (yikes!).
ReplyDeletebtw, I found you via MBC.
