"Be good and for your birthday I'll buy you a motorcycle!"
"How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back?"
"Don't bother wearing a jacket--it's quite warm out."
"Let me smell that shirt--yeah, it's good for another week."
"I think a cluttered bedroom is a sign of creativity."
"Yeah, I used to skip school, too."
"Just leave all the lights on...it makes the house more
cheery."
"Could you turn the music up louder so I can enjoy it, too?"
"Run and bring me the scissors! Hurry!"
"Aw, just turn these undies inside out. No one will ever
know."
"I don't have a tissue with me--just use your sleeve."
"Well, if Timmy's Mom says it's okay, that's good enough for
me."
"Of course you should walk to school and back. What's the
big deal about having to cross a few main streets?"
"My meeting won't be over till later tonight. You kids
don't mind skipping dinner, do you?"

DDiva, I should KNOW better than to read one of your posts while drinking coffee. Ya know, one of these days you're going to be responsible for permanent damage to my olafactory sensors from having coffee snorted thru them.
I gotta say Kiddo, I am warped. It's hard to make me laugh lots of the time, but I lost it when I read "Run and bring me the scissors! Hurry!" til then it was just a grin, you get the TAA award for getting a belly laugh outta Andrea at 6:38 in the morning.
where in the world do you FIND This stuff?
Andrea, in chucktown.

I had to laugh at the "Not needing a jacket" bit. Actually, my mom had me "later" in life and went through menopause while I was still quite young (eight or nine, maybe). During her hot flashes she would run around the house turning the heat off and flinging the windows open when it was 40 degrees out yelling, "It is WAY TOO HOT in here!" I guess maybe she had trouble admitting having them to herself because, if I'd run and get a sweatshirt, I'd get yelled at since in her mind, I was "going to get heatstroke wearing that thing in the house!"

Actually, I am a mother - and I swear I've actually said (and done) the following when faced with a temper tantrum:
"Y'know, I've had a bad day too, can I sit and cry with you?"
"That looks like fun, can I try it?"
"You're doing it all wrong, let me demonstrate the right way."
"You're a little flat, m'dear, try for an A-sharp"
"Don't drool on the furniture."
