WARNING: The following post is just like “Shit My Dad Says” but a little grosser and originates from the other end of the age spectrum.
“Just let her have a lick!”
This was exclaimed after one kid wasn’t letting the other kid taste her lollipop. Why anyone would let someone else lick their lollipop is beyond me. I guess at 5 & 3, it’s not really gross to offer lollipop tastes. That’s more of a Life Lesson learned rule.
“Can you PLEASE just get some panties on?“
After my husband caught my girls on video jumping naked into a massive pile of (clean) laundry, I had to plead with my 3yo to finally put on some panties. I don’t want to be those parents who get arrested for child porn with one of my kids’ naked butts as she jumps around the living room. That would totally ruin my week.
“She’s licking her butt.”
My dog licks her own ass. It’s some kind of a special talent dogs have. Not that I’d want to be hampered with the necessity to have to lick my own butt, but I’d like the ability to reach my head around that far. I bet some Yogis can totally do it.
I digress.
I had to get the dog’s attention to quit her fun-time butt licking, and when asked by my 5yo why I yelled at the dog, I told her, “She’s licking her butt.” To a 5yo and 3yo, this was something to be repeated over and over and over until I was afraid the internet could hear them.
“I’m licking my butt! It’s OK, Mama. It’s only pretend.”
After being told repeatedly to stop repeating what I told them about the dog, the girls started laughing to each other that they were licking their own butts. Thank GOD, it was only pretend, or I’d have had to hunt down the Yogi who’d taught them that skill.

bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I have so completely said the “panties” thing to my kiddo before, too. Also, the lollipop thing. :-)
I have to admit, the “butt licking” pretty funny. But, that’s because they aren’t my kids :-)

We have naked kid shenanigans going on here all the time. My youngest just doesn’t like pants. Period. So…I find myself saying “Where are your underwear?”about 400 times a week.

@alimartell,
my kids apparently take after Brittany.
Little sweetT was wearing a spiderman mask, cowboy boots, and underwear while I was out playing soccer. Also, the littlest sweetT was trying to eat the comics page of the newspaper.

Seriously, all the parents reading this are like “Yup, been there, done that”. I think we all have said some crazy stuff to our kids. That’s why its so funny, ‘cuz its true.

Fun times. ;p
OMG. THAT is hilarious. The closest thing I’ve had to yell to
my kids was to “NEVER PUT ANYTHING IN ANY OF YOUR HOLES!”
(we’d had a week of someone shoving dried beans, dice, and
a marble in his nose and some other miniature toy into his
ear! And since 4 year olds can’t usually even SAY orifice
much less define it, I went with HOLES. I LOVE your blog.
