How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Just Press Play

in Everyday on 08/04/09


We are only half way through summer here is suburbia and I have come to the realization that I could easily be replaced by a well timed tape recorder …or maybe a record with a couple of scratches in just the right places so once in a while it could get caught skipping!

Time for breakfast.
Hurry up a little please.
Did you brush your teeth?
Did you brush your hair?
Did you do a good job?
Oh Honey, let’s go do it again.
Yes Dear.
No Thank you Dear.
Go wash your face.
Pick up your clothes.
Who’s wet bathing suit is this?
No you can not have that.
How about milk instead.
Say Thank You.
You’re Welcome.
Wash your hands please.
Wash your hands please.
Wash your hands please.
Did you wash your hands?
What would you like for lunch?
What would you like for lunch?
Use your fork please.
Who wants to go outside?
Did you grab the sunscreen?
Will someone let the Dog out please?
Can no one but me hear the dog??
The Dog needs to come in now!
Girls, someone left the TV on.
Did anyone feed our fish today?
Do you need to use the washroom before we go?
How about you just try?
Yes I do need a hug.
Turn off the lights please.
Time for dinner.
Wash your hands.
Yes I know you had a shower only yesterday, but you have to have one today too.
Time for bed.
Pj’s on.
Good night girls.
I love you.
I love you.
Good night girls.
Girls GOOD NIGHT.
I love you.

If I taped myself today, I bet tomorrow, I could just press play.

      You could not only just play it, you could sell it to every Mum in the world … You’d be a billionaire next month and having dinner with your friends on your private jet whilst the kids listened to the tape at home!
