9. “Did you brush ALL of your teeth?”
10. “Well, I don’t know what other snack you can have since you’ve already had an apple, two tortillas with honey and a graham cracker. Do you think you can possibly wait until dinner to eat again?”

More Thursday Thirteen here!
I’ve said similar versions of those things. I like number 11 the best.
Oh, yeah…I LOVE number 11! I can see using that with my kids! Happy T-13!
hey…have you been eavesdropping at my house? the light saber thing, the poop talk at dinner…i really think you must be lurking in my house!!
fun tt!
Lol, I think I’ve said a few of those things before too.
Great list, happy TT!
Anyone with boys will recognize this list! It’s so nice to read through it, and know we’re not alone! I would just really like to have more #12, and less #11 around here.
:-)
Cute! Happy T13. My nephew is 12 now, it’s a whole new style of things you need to say to him. Most often, “get off me, you’re way too heavy now” lol
Hahaha. Too funny. I’ve said most of those things at some time or another.
Laura, this is the best line: “Please go back in and put the seat down and flush.” All wives will bless you forever! Thanks for visiting me! :)
Loved your list….definitely a list a mother of four boys would make.
another mother of four boys here…
#11 is almost an exact quote from me!
But all our light sabers have been designated as outside toys! LOL
