Well for me, it's what's not said that is usually the worry - you know, that total quiet that can only mean trouble. But also:
1. I'm burning down the house mum (while I was on a teleconference when working from home). The good news - he wasn't really, he was playing with the hose and pretending there was a fire he was putting out. The bad news - there were managers from all over Qld on the teleconference and they all heard!
2. Mum, I shouldn't do that, should I?
oh look at the big big big mess mummy
and "im painting" - i never want to hear that ... again !! he was painting with mascara !!!!!!
and obviously the swear words ... :lol:
It wasn't me!
"We are playing in the snow mummy!", said with much glee after the three of them have just broken a styrofoam box (that I thought I had put away where they couldn't get it) into tiny little pieces and thrown around the room.
'I'm sprinkling sugar Mum' as DD1 twirled passed me - infact showering her room with talcum powder.....
also
'Uh oh.....'
"we made you breaky mum"... my 2 eldest when 2&3 had made breaky on the kitchen floor.... eggs, milo, milk, bread, sauce, everything, was all over the floor........ :rolleyes:
Oooh (insert DD's name here) ... what have you done now?
and
We don't want to wet our pants do we (usually said once the pants are wet!!!)
"Well it was getting in my eyes" was the reply from Miss Five the other day when she cut her hair AGAIN!! It had only just grown back to a reasonable length from the last time she did it :rolleyes: not to mention she is a flowergirl in a few months....
My heart dropped when I heard Chase walk into the bedroom and say
Oh no oh no oh no crap oh crap Jaidan WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?????!
He had only pulled the train set apart but OMG talk about freak out!
I made my own cordial.....as half the bottle is in the cup and the rest is on the floor
Mum, this cream is making my ankles stick....she'd painted her entire legs (and my carpet) with nail polish
Mum Nate wanted to get off the lounge.....
LMAO!!!! Classic. Silence is louder than words for me... you just get that chill down your spine...
hehe that is true. I had that the other day, sitting here blogging then thought, hmmm the boys have been quiet for a while...
Turns out all was well and they were playing so nicely with the lego in the bedroom, all 3 of them lol Had to take some photos and blog that too!
"Careful" - usually chiding himself just before he throws himself off the bed/sofa/table/whatever else he's climbed on now.
Sorry to be a downer here but i never want to hear my baby boy yelling "i hate you" at me.
I yelled it at my mum a few times while i was an angsty teenager and nowdays i can't forgive myself.
and the moment my least favourite childs saying is "Broken".
Harry says it often and it has unfortunately meant a lot of things. Such as:
oops I broke the skirting board off the wall.
Mum, the car is broken - fix it, and I don't want to hear its impossible.
I've knocked you laptop off the dresser again and the power cable has come loose so the screen went darker and I want my movie bright.... and on the dresser.
I dunno Sophie - I'd take it that I was being strict enough! We never yelled it at my Mum but I wouldn't say that was a good thing the way we thought of her.
when you hear two or three of them going "shhhhhh auntie punks is coming", then you know they've done somthing major
It's the silence that's a big problem in this house - it never bodes well.
DD1's expanding vocabulary now allows her to inform me when she's done 'p!ss' (thanks for teaching her that, DH) or 'poo' - always *after* the event instead of before, and usually somewhere on the floor.
'Broken' usually means she's destroyed something of mine or DH's, and 'Broken' preceeded by a high-pitched squeal means she's destroyed something of her own (two nights ago it was her precious plastic headband she got in a showbag, she was distraught for hours).
'Eggies!' usually means she's dragged the carton out of the fridge and chances are she's smashed at least one on the floor (she loves boiled eggs and attempts to make her own).
This scenario also applies to, well, her announcing any food item out loud - bread, mookie (milk), maninamite (Vegemite), corn cakes (corn thins), etc etc. Food = mess.
And, I'm forever grateful to DH for teaching her 'c' word. Yup. *That* 'c' word.
I know its bad when I hear DD yelling 'oh no look what (DS) has done, it's really bad'. When I heard that tonight, DS had tipped a full bottle of shampoo and a half bottle of body wash down the shower while showering with DD. And I thought DH was supervising them! Unfortunately, the stuff wasn't even ours. My mum left it here after a recent visit. oops...
Just today while I was in the toilet and DD was doing some 'making' (craft) I hear, oh its shorter- doesnt matter, I called out "whats shorter Tori?" and the came the reply I was dreading "just my hair mum!"
Luckily not much damage with her kiddie scissors, I think she might have only snipped a few strands, butneedless to say the scissors are now all out of reach.
:rofl: THis is sooo funny only because my nephew actually DID burn the house down!!:
:rofl: PMSL :D I am soooooo sorry but that is so very funny. I have visions of my DS cutting DD's hair when it gets longer :rolleyes: and the neighbours 3yo recently cut her own fringe ultra short :o so there is precedence.:
