If 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.

First, why do you have handcuffs in your house? Second, put the dog collar on Jack and then put the handcuffs on him – then let Michael walk him around the town on the end of a leash. And poor Michael – he is starving – he is nothing but skin and bones, so he should eat sweets because maybe that would put some weight on him.
Oh yeah, why not just keep the dogs and give the Kids away?
Ha… send them out here, we’ll put them to work on the ranch!
Tell Michael I sharpened the machete!!
Great Mike, just what Miachael AND Jack needs is a sharpened machete ;-)
My favorite “get the handcuffs off the dog!” and I’m with Gramma Teetsie – why are there handcuffs in the house? Hmmmm…

Girls, girls, girls!! Your minds are in horrible places.
Jack has handcuffs from his SWAT costume.
Ahem.
Um, were you at our house??????
Usually, we are in bed at nine. Sometimes I remark to my husband “how pitiful is this?” but then we are so tired we really don’t care.
GREAT post, so so so so so so can relate!
Is it ok to laugh at you? Cause I’m so laughing right now! I’m thinking if we ever meet, we must NOT bring our boys. Imagine the chaos that would ensue…

Youch, and I thought I was tired at the end of the day! As a non-parent, you have my undying admiration :)
Ha ha ha ha ha! I’m not laughing at you my friend. I’m laughing with you.

My Favorite:”I don’t know why God let your mouth say it…”! You need to stop being so mean to my perfect little angels!:)
Wowzers! Only one of my kids talks, and some of those conversations wear me out… is this what my life will sound like when they are both talking? Ahhh… can’t wait…
PS your life is funny. Just sayin’. Thanks for making me laugh. A lot.

This is hilarious: “I don’t know why God lets your mouth say it, but it’s not appropriate to say.” You’ve got a smartie on your hands!
