Did I really say that??
LOL Some woman at Walmart this morning thinks I am the worst mom ever... We were walking down the aisle, with my daughter in the cart and my son hanging off of the side of it. Slightly distracted, I told him, "Get on the front of the cart so I don't smack you on the aisle." Lady at the corner of my eye gave me a double-take, like "Did you REALLY say that??" I then realized just what that sounded like, and said, "I don't want to bump you on the edge of the aisle, so get on the end of the cart..." LOL But the damage was probably already done, as she continued to walk down the aisle and probably didn't hear me correct myself. I REALLY didn't mean I was going to smack him, just that I didn't want him to smack into the shelves or the edge of the aisle... *blush* 6 comments from 4 users

Obviously, this woman was NOT a mother of a preschooler.....otherwise, she would have just chuckled and walked on! Just another day in the life of a SAHM! Thanks for the giggles.... posted by

My kids and I tease each other a lot. At lunch time, it might be something like "You want a punch in the stomach sandwich?" Somehow, we work "punch in the stomach" into multiple daily conversations, all with smiles and laughter and never any real punches to the gut. I don't know how it started, but it did, and we have fun with it. I was in WalMart (seems to be the place) one day and Layton kept asking me if we were getting McDonalds. It became a game. "Are we getting McDonalds?" "No." Over and Over and we were laughing. Finally, I put the Morrison trademark on the conversation by answering one time, "No, but you're getting a punch in the stomach." Probably the same lady looked at us and shook her head. posted by

Yes, that lady must think we are all from the same parenting pool.....I think she was in Target on Rosedale HWY this past weekend when my 6 year old said, "Mom, are we going home so we can whoop Dad and Caden's tail soon?" with a giggle and his famous Matrix-like karate moves.... I guess it was her (or her sister) that just shook her head and walked on. I do like the punch in the stomach sandwich comments! posted by

Isn't it funny the things we say and how the kids translate it? My in-laws are always calling one of the kids a "turd". They think it's funny b/c it's not the "s--t" word but it's still mean and degrating to them. It's a family thing I guess b/c my hubby's siblings all do the same thing. Now the boys will call each other some sort of "poop" name. It's gross and it's a habit that is getting broken slowly but surely. I get the funny looks from people b/c I change Tyler's diapers on the tailgate of my truck - it's cleaner than alot of the changing stations in the stores and everything is handy without me having to balance a diaper bag and other things in the public restroom.

Not to mention that MOST restrooms do not have a changing table and my tailgate is much cleaner than 99.9% of the public restrooms.
