Mom-isms

Things I've said in the past week that I never pictured myself saying (before I had a child):


We don't lick the refrigerator.
No you may not kick Mommy's butt.
Please don't jump on my back while I'm drinking.
I promise the Bunny straw works just as well as the Duck straw.
Yes Thomas has to go to sleep, it's past his bedtime.


Or have endless conversations that go something like this:

"Brent, what letter is this?"
"P?"
"Well, not quite. This is the letter A!"
"A?"
"Yep"

--1 minute later--

"Okay, what letter is this?"
"P?"
"No, remember, it's an A!"
"Oh, A!"

--1 minute later--
"So what letter is this?"
"Q?"
"Alright - I give up. Just want to color?"
"O-tay Mommy"
