More than words…
These are mostly things that I never in my wildest imagination thought would come out of my mouth. Repeatedly. On a daily basis.
Some of them are things I just never thought I’d say.
Some are things that were within the imaginable range of motherhood (for me) but that I didn’t realize could be the difference between a calm half hour and a complete meltdown…
“Mummy will be a super hero after she’s made the lunch.”
“For the love of God, put your pants on!”
“Don’t stand on your brother’s head!”
“What do you mean? A pink lamp or a pink lamb?”
“Pretty butter or veggie bite?”
“I am not a climbing gym!”
“Wd40 is not a toy.”
“Is that wee or water? And why is it in Fraser’s shoe?”
“What’s nook-hook? I don’t know what you mean!” (I still haven’t figured that one out)
“Princess Ballerina Dragon Rory! Your lunch is ready!”
“Where are your pants? Go and get them! Oh, they’re on Oscar’s head.”
“Everyone has a tutu. Stop scragging!”
“Is that milk or cream on his head? Can you NOT pour milk on your brothers’ heads?”
“Yeah, you can jump on the bed.” (Because seriously, there are worse things they could be doing)
“Stickers? How… Oh, whatever…”
“You want a drink? Yeah, me too.”
Tell me, what’s the most random thing you’ve said out loud recently?

Today I’ll be taking a photo an hour and sharing on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I’ll be hash tagging with #adayinthelife and #daisysworld – I love the idea of showing you what life is like around here and if you’d like to play along I’d love to see what you’re up to as well!
This was really very funny!!! When you figure out what a nook-hook means let me know, maybe I’ll start up my Toddler Talk Quiz again.
As soon as I figure it out I’ll let you know!

Yep, we commonly have the “is that wee or water?” My most common phrase is “Little Cowboy (18 months), get OUT of the oven” … I say it daily. I never thought it would be something I’d utter. Ever. Can’t do a day in the life today because kiddos are at childcare but tomorrow! Yep. I’m in! xx

Bahahahawha!!!!!! I’ve never had to say get out of the oven but I am sure it is only a matter of time! Oooh, can’t wait to see your day tomorrow!

I can’t for the life of me think of anything random that I have said lately. But I’m sure that I have.
Ava and I got into a discussion this morning over a sheep that was actually a poodle. ‘no. Not a boodle. Sheep.’ But that seemed like a standard conversation.
Which says a lot really.
What kind of super hero were you?
The Mummy Super Hero, obviously. My super powers involved making sandwiches as breakneck speed and changing nappies in the blink of an eye.

Hehehe, laughing out loud
“We don’t play with our wee” and “stop chewing the furniture” are recent ones that come to mind…!
Jane @ The Hesitant Housewife recently posted..Wordless Wednesday ~ My Daughters Daddy.
Chewing the furniture? Far out! LOL it’s so funny the things we have to say!
Daisy recently posted..More than words…
Bahahaha. Yep. Some of these are fairly standard here too. When Alexis was younger I said, “no you can’t have a banana, sit down and eat your chips.” that will be etched on my memory for ever.

I had no idea how often I would be required to say penis…

Today was “no love, I don’t want to try to do my wee standing up”.
Mum on the Run recently posted..When A Pile Of Negatives Is Oh So Positive
LOL well at least he gave you the option!
Daisy recently posted..More than words…
So funny… And I just saw The Mother Experiment’s comment and can totally relate. i remember telling MY Alexis to put the apple down and eat the chocolate birthday cake (it would be rude to not to share in birthday cake!)
Shannon aka Relentless recently posted..The Write Stuff
Lol it would be rude!
My girl asked me today what Spanish people call Sushi…I said ‘el sushio’. I worry what she’ll repeat at school.
Sarah recently posted..Impostors in the world of missing?
Haha! El Sushio! I probably would have told Roo to ask Dora!
Tonight, after a long day, Ellie asked me how Jasper had learnt to find his penis (?) and I answered with “Boys just know how to find and squish their bits…” For a moment we both just looked at each other a bit like ‘huh’ before moving on to preparing tea. Maybe I should think before I speak?
Becky from BeckyandJames.com recently posted..Wordless Wednesday: Statues
Oh I never think before I speak and then Roo will repeat some random explanation I’ve given her back to Pal and hell just look at me and shake his head!
Love it Daisy!
We have grandparented for 15+ years now, and with a gap of 7 years from my DD’s youngest to our son’s Eldest, oh my a few things I say are different.
Now you are likely to hear these words in our house:
‘yes you can have an icecream after you wake up but only if you have a proper sleep”
“do you want to go to bed with Papa’s IPad or Grandma’s?”
BTW – the response to this is usually, want your iPhone, to which I respond with
“no, because someone important is trying to ring Grandma”
“yes, Daddy’s dog is dead. And it happened a long time ago when Daddy met Mummy”
“where was I?”
Ummm. That is the hardest question.
Good fun days which will soon be gone as Mr4 who has entertained us since 15 weeks for up to 3 days a week is school-bound in 2013. miss almost 3 will be here tho along with newest grandchild on the block, Ella.

Aww, what a big moment for you all with him headed off to school next year! Although, having little baby Ella to snuggle will help I’m sure!
“Mummy will be a super hero after she’s made the lunch.”
))so you are. I just can’t stop laughing. Thanks for making my day!
Elvira recently posted..Sport rteiben in der Hitze kann gefährlich sein
LOL I can relate to this one! Ours are “Will you PLEASE get your hands out of your pants!” ” Why is the butter in your room??” “Put your clothes back on” I have a three ye old who really doesn’t like clothes and is constantly taking them off
“Don’t lick the bus!”
It’s amazing what kids will drive you to say. I think the strangest thing I had to ask was, ‘Where are your clothes, Archie?’ when he came home from his formal wearing only his underpants.

This is too funny. I have the following two sayings on a constant feedback loop. “I dont want to listen to whinging” and “I cant do two things at once”. My girls tell me I’m boring.
At least these things are within the realms of political correctness. If my brother and I whined about something not being fair my parents would settle the argument by saying “neither is a black fella’s bum!”. Alternatively if we asked them to do something for us they’d ask the rhetorical question “Who was your last little black boy”.
Thanks for a good laugh this morning.
