Oh the dog days of summer. Joy, peace and quiet happiness right? Then why is it that what I am hearing from the group of little people who have invaded my back yard sounds something more like this:
-Mom, there’s a bug in the pool.
-Get it!!
-I can’t get that stupid bug out it is super creepy! It’s alive!
-My towel is too small.
-These sandals hurt my feet.
-This sunscreen smells like bug spray. Pew. Wait, what does bug spray smell like again?
-The towels will not stay up in the fort!
-I don’t like my book.
-I’m hungry.
-Can’t we please go in the pool YET!
-The water is cold!
-I have to pee.
-A stupid bug bit me.
-We want the sprinkler now.
-The Elmo sprinkler cut me!
-I need a band-aid. Can I get a band-aid?
-I’m hungry.
-I don’t like this nectarine thing.
-I’m hungry.
-Mom, we really want freezies.
-Opps, I accidently took the wrong colour freezie, I forgot I don’t like this kind.
-Mom! (yes, my name is now a complaint. Sigh)
-I can’t find my baseball.
-She’s touching me!
-They started it.
-It’s our turn on the floats! The little girls are hogging them.
-I’m hungry and there’s nothing to eat.
-I don’t want to get out of the pool.
Ahh the long blissful days of summer. Magical isn’t?
ahhhah so funny. MOM!!!!!!! I still do this to my mom haha!
Hehe oh these kids, I can talk until I’m blue your lucky you have what you have but they don’t even listen to a word!
Somedays I’m tempted to take it all away … lol
Haha. Sorry, but I had to chuckle at this. Now talk to me in a few years when this is my reality and I probably won’t be laughing anymore.
I don’t remember summer vacations when I was a child coming with a cruise director like they do now. Also, love the lanterns in your trees – so festive!
so familiar…. here’s a comment I heard yesterday..”I need a band aid, I don’t care what color as long as it’s a florescent one!!”. Really???
I think our backyards are somehow connected and it is actually MY kids you are hearing! 😉
So, they’re having a great time?
well..
my goodness!
Yikes! Well summer is only 3 months long right? LOL!
i think i tensed up just reading it…
It could be worse, it could be teen age boys saying, “I’m hungry… can I have a few more burgers…”
ohh wow all those comments totally cracked me up! Soo funny!
Sound painfully familiar.
Try to remember that back-to-school season will soon be upon us! 🙂
Eek, if only we could click ourselves away for an hour or two and come back to a clean house, bathed kids and dinner on the table.
