Now, as a mother myself, I find myself saying the most bizarre things, and each time, I think about my grandmother and wonder if she thought "What has my life come to, that I say these things?" (which is what I often think!)
I discuss this with other "mom-friends" and we all get a huge kick out of all the random, off-the-wall things we say to our kids. We decided to keep track of them, and started a "quote book" this summer. After reading through the book (a spiral bound notebook we took turns carting around) we decided to start a blog to share with the world.
We would LOVE to have your input!!! Please share your "mom quotes" - things you say and then think "Holy crap, did I just say that??" Think of us as "Texts-from-last-night" for moms!!!
Here are some examples (much more to come, transcribing "the book" is taking us a while)
"You better put your pants back on before your mother comes back" (from a mom-friend to my son)"No, son, you can't put a plastic bag over your sister's head. Not even if you poke holes in it first.""No, sweetie, you didn't leave your panties in the hotel room. And I hope that's the last time you ever wonder about that....""Why is there toothpaste in the toilet??"
There are many many more to come!
Join in, I can't wait to read!!!
