Things I have learned from being a parent

XRogue · 10-30-2001, 01:37 PM

These are just a few of the things my children have taught me:

1. A six month old baby can fit 11 pieces of purina dog chow in his mouth before I realize that I forgot to pick up the dog food bowl.

2. Worms do not fair well in the washing machine (in fact they turn into a gooey glob..ewww)

3. A 16 month old's idea of taking a shower is to put a towel in the dog's water bowl, then hold the towel over his head.

4. If you show fear of a bug, you will get chased around the yard with it.

5. the pitter patter of little feet, follwed by the pitter patter of bigger feet means the toddler has just stolen big brothers favorate toy.

6. even if you have two identical items, they will still fight over one.

7. a child dressed in new clothes always knows where the mud puddle is (even if it hasn't rained for days)

8. The more expensive the present, the more they play with the box it came in.

9. My children are spoiled because nobody will spank Grandma.

10. no matter how loud you say NO, in two minutes they will ask again.

11. Ketchup is great for hiding veggies in, whoever invented Ketchup ought to get the nobel peace prize.

12. Ditto for whoever invented the pacifier.

13. a child grows out of his shoes as soon as you pay for them.

I have learned alot more, too. I could probably write a book.

Heh, if only I had a dime for every time that dogfood trick or some such has happened, we would not need to save for college educations. We have to keep a boltlock on our pantry door cause our kids will strew all the food in there throughout the house.
