So do moms. (And dads.)
I'm not sure if my "pre-mom" self would be amazed or appalled at some of the things I experience and say on a daily basis. It's amazing how readily some of the classic mom phrases spill out of my mouth without even thinking about it. It's also amazing what odd things tumble out in the craziest of times. Here's a glimpse at what has come out of my mouth lately...
"Don't 'hammer' your brother."
"Oh, honey. No, no, no. That's what toilet paper is for, not your hand." [EWWW!!!]
"Do not pee on the carpet. Ever."
[insert various potty training related songs here...]
"Don't eat that snow. It has chemicals on it."
"That is very dangerous."
"If you don't eat ______, we will save it. And it will be your snack later."
"You need to ask permission before opening the fridge."
"Don't touch that. Don't that either. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING. STOP TOUCHING EVERYTHING."
"Let's practice staying really still."
"Yes, you have to wear pants."
"Where are your socks?"
"What are you eating? WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?"
"Why are you licking the wall?"
"Let's only throw soft balls at the ceiling."
"What are you doing? WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?"
And the ultimate...
"I'm going to count to three..."
