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?
It’s like music to your ears. Not.
Definitely sounds like summer.
Enjoy! You will long for these moments someday.
LOl this is funny.
@Ali, your flourescent band-aid one cracked me up LOL
This is so hilarious! I did a post today about this same very thing! Too funny!

Oh my! I love swimming and having a pool but I think that would make me wish I didn’t have a pool.
oh the “they started it” makes me crazy!!
Yes! Sweet blissful summer..
When does school start again?!
Yep sounds like my house!
LOL sounds like my usual days but actually today wasn’t like that, hence the title of my post, Beautiful Day! LOL
I had to laugh at your post. 🙂 Only, instead of the long blissful days of summer – it reminded me of the long – sometimes blissful – days of school with my students!
Wow, this sounds so much like my own life!! LOL
Today I am grateful my kids go to year round school and will be returning next week. I have heard all of those complaints and more today. I wanted to scream if I heard me name one more time.
LOL…this is why so many mothers turn to the bottle. 🙂
xo
Ick! No matter the season the statements that set me off are the ones that start with, “I want..” no please, not even a pleasing tone- just a flat out demand. Le sigh 😉
haha..what about..”Im boorred!”..
