Why I go to bed at 8:00
February 8th, 2010If you were a fly on the wall at my house this weekend, you surely may or may not have heard these quotes…
From Michael:
Mom, can I play PSP?
Jack’s bugging me.
I’m full. Do I have to finish my breakfast/lunch/dinner?
Can I play PSP?
I’m hungry. Can I have a cookie?
Jack’s bothering me!
Mom, can I play PSP?
From Jack:
Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom?
Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad?
Michael, what are you doing?
Graciiiiiieeeeee…. (dog #1)
Rileeeeeyyyyyy… (dog #2)
Can I have a lollipop?
Michael, can I play?
Can I play with Molly?
Michael… I want to come in!
Dogs… want a treat?
From Mom:
Jack. Stop. bothering. the. dogs.
Jack, if you don’t leave the dogs alone, we’re going to give them away.
Michael, no. You have played enough video games this weekend.
Jack, if you touch her collar one more time, you’re going to your room.
Jack, go to your room. And stop smiling.
No, it’s not ok to say that word.
I don’t know why God lets your mouth say it, but it’s not appropriate to say.
Michael, if you don’t eat real food, I’m never going to let you have sweets.
Of course you’re hungry at 4:30. You didn’t eat lunch. You’ll have to wait.
Jack, get the handcuffs off the dog.
Yes, I know she can still walk. I don’t care. Get them off her.
Don’t say that during dinner. It’s not appropriate to say at the table.
Michael, how can you not be hungry? You were starving an hour ago.
NO! You can’t have dessert! You didn’t eat dinner!
No, Jack. No lollipops. Because you’re not behaving today and you don’t need more sugar.
Yes, you have to go to bed right after your bath.
Because Mommy is tired.
No you can’t stay up with Daddy. He’s tired, too.
No, you can’t stay up by yourself.
Because I said so.
Because I said so.
Because I said so.
Goodnight.
I love you too.
I love you too. I already told you that.
Yes, I already tucked you in.
Michael, did you just call me from across the house to ask if I would turn your fan on?
Good. Night. Boys.
{waits 10 minutes}
Love you too.
