Did I REALLY Just Say That?
Happy Fatherhood Friday!It happens to all of us (maybe). You swear and promise yourself that you will never sound like your parents. You will never say the same things that you heard growing up. Then, out of nowhere, all of those old sayings and clichés start rolling off of your tongue along with a bunch of new things that you would never think could come out of your mouth.
A perfect example of saying things you never thought you would say is the other day we had to calmly explain to our 3 year old that she should never push her little brother’s face into a pillow. And in return I got the super sweet and happy, “OK daddy.” It’s always this kind of stuff that makes being a parent one of the greatest jobs ever. Some other classics include:
- That tiara looks good on you. – to my son
- Bend over so I can clean your junk.
- Let me smell your hands.
- That is not your bebo, it’s your penis.
- Is that breast milk in the fridge or regular milk?
What are some crazy statements that have come out of you since being a parent? Boy I hope I’m not the only one. 
I also found a few good ones on Strollerderby as well for your enjoyment. Have a great weekend!

With only a 6month old I can see my transformation starting but still holding strong to the “old non parental me” that will change soon though

My life is poop. Two little ones navigating the wonders of the potty. I’m constantly wiping, overseeing wiping, dreaming about wiping… So, I’m constantly saying, “Do you have to pee pee poo poo?” (That one covers both number one and number two.) Love the “clean your junk” line. I’m gonna have to steal it. “Stop smothering your sister,” also comes to mind. Hutch

Oh that was good stuff. You are in the heat of the battle with the little one. We still do a wipe and wash check but for the most part they clean their own junk.

“Don’t paint your poop on the wall!”, said to my precious little angel princess after she stuck her hand down her diaper, grabbed a bunch of the good stuff and was in the process of reaching for the wall.

Trying to get her to eat, taking a bite myself, I said…”Be a big girl, like Daddy”
SIGH!

Virtually everything I say is new for me. I posted about all the new words I learned a while back. The biggest thing for me is talking about poo or even saying poo for that matter.

I don’t know about repeating what my parents said to me, but when I got out a tissue, licked it, and cleaned my son’s face with it, I knew my transformation had been taken to a new level.

My personal favorite so far is “What’s that in his mouth? Oh, it’s a dog kibble. Thank God.”
Yep, never knew that there were enough worse things to put in your mouth that I’d rejoice over the dog kibble.

My husband said one the other day that made him stop and ask, Did i just say that?
Our daughter had brought home this really cool frog with a party blower attached as the tongue. I forget what she said but he responded, “No honey, you’ll shoot your eye out!”
He immediately stopped, looked at me, and asked “Did i just say that?”
And this morning, I can’t even begin to share how many things I’ve said. The biggest one though is ‘Because I said so!’

While it’s not something I say, I never really expected to smell my kids’ butts so much (2 of 3 still in diapers). Picking up my daughter and smelling her butt in public absolutely does NOT phase me.

“Andrew, please take your hands out of the toilet bowl.” OR “Andrew, no, honey..don’t climb up the house plant.”

I can’t count how many times I’ve asked to smell hands…

Saying I have to go potty – to your adult friends. That one still gets me.

I don’t think anything THAT funny has come out of my mouth as a parent, but I definitely start to say things that my mother has always said, much as I try to avoid it.
“That’s not necessary!”
“If you’re smart…” (I hate that one)
Ugh. Yours are way better.

“Honey where are my keys?”
“Did you check the fridge?”
“Yep, here they are.”
The kid picks things up and then that object could be anywhere now that he’s mobile and able to open cabinets and appliances.

I always ask my 6 yr old “did you wipe”. LOL. Happy FF.
