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.
Ah…the dreaded shower…my twelve year old son, “but I took a shower yesterday, I don’t smell”
Somebody help me!
I love this! Hysterical!
sounds familiar to me… lol!!
Ah yes, I know what you mean. My statement of choice lately that I want on a recorder is: No, peanut butter in a bowl is not BREAKFAST! It’s become such a regular part of the morning, I don’t even think she asks anymore. She just walks down stairs and looks at me and I say it before she can even open her mouth to make the request. Oh by the way, we were given an award and we are passing it on to you. Come by and check it out.
Press play and sleep in tomorrow and see what happens. Hee hee!
The things us moms say over and over again ((shaking head)) well, it makes us sound like OUR moms!Who would have ever imagined? Gah!
I think this dialogue would work perfectly at our house too! I’m sure to be thinking of you all day today when I say 90% of these!
I’ve got one on constant rewind. No no. We don’t eat the kitty’s food.
I’ve raised children…. ( mostly sucessfully, sort of….)
and I’m here to tell you……..
Yes…… you are the only one who can hear the dog……
Loved this!!!
I bet if we all exchanged tapes, the only difference would be calling the names of our children! LOL Good one! 🙂
So.. funny I love this!!! natalee a new follower.. http://totmama.blogspot.com/
Haha. Yes it would be pretty convenient if you could do that every so often. Often I think I sound like a broken record.
next we just need to get body double hehe??
You should tape it for sure!!
I LOVE THIS!!! So funny… and so true… many of these things I say daily, too! 🙂
Dear ModernMom!
Reminds me of the time in Law School in the U.S. when, for a bet, we all left tape recorders running in the auditorium before class & someone crept back later & took a photo of the professor’s face. And a picture paints a thousand words…!
These days that pic would go straight on YouTube! Be careful what you wish for – you could be next!!
Lovely post!
xxxLOL LOLA:)
