Things you never thought you would have to say as a parent

[Novella]

After having to call out to my girls 'no diving in the bath'! I was wondering what things other parents have had to say that you would never have imagined saying or ever thought needed to be vocalised

Another was 'cheese doesn't go in the washing machine'

Please share your experience

I'm not a parent, but 'NO! Don't touch the poo in the toilet!'

"You need to work hard at school to be able to do things when you are older."

For some reason, DS reckons that when he gets to a set age he will just "know" things magically. Learning to read now makes no difference to being able to read as an adult. I'm starting to accept he isn't as clever as I wanted.

'The cat doesn't like being put in the wagon, try your blocks'

'Please don't drink from the puddle'

'Your father is not a duck.'

'Mama will wear the colander on her head if you sit down.'

Stop sitting on your brother
Toothpaste is not a toy
Don't dip your potatoes in your milk

Don't eat that millipede.
Don't play with your bottom after you've done a poo.
Get your foot out of my mouth/face.

Stop sticking your hands in your poo!

You need to wear underpants in public

Don't drink out of the dog's bowl

[Calluna]

Oh man... So many things I wish I could remember...

My first ever "I never thought I'd say that" moment was
"no, thats not an elephant it's broccoli"

[Eenee]

Stop licking my freckles lol

[Lenny]

Today i was surprised to have to say "please don't brush you teeth and eat toast at the same time".

No you can't stand on your brother's face.
Said while trying to stop Miss 2 standing on the tennis racket currently resting on Master 8's face, all because he'd sat on it earlier bare bottomed and gotten a nice pattern on the skin.

No DD I am not pulling your teeth out just so the tooth fairy can come.

Sorry DD, Jack the pumpkin King can not come to your birthday party.

I am sorry that Baby Lula who lives in your belly ran away. I am sure the police man can't find her. No she isn't in jail.

I am pretty sure DD that you won't be growing a penis when you grow up.

"Stop sucking on Mummy's hair."

No, you cannot fill your sister up by pouring water into her bottom while she bends over . . .
