Things I Wish My Kids Understood
Things I wish S.J. understood -
1. Rice is not a finger food.
2. The chair, couch, rug and my shirt are not napkins.
3. If the dog sniffs your butt, you don't need to reciprocate. (Yes, I caught him doing this)
4. If it shocks you the first time you cram it in the outlet, then it will shock you the second time, and the third time, and...
5. Scrub the toilet with your own toothbrush.
Things I wish A. understood -
1. If it comes into your head, that doesn't mean it should leave your mouth. (Guess she gets this from me.)
2. If you ask me for something ten times after I've said "no", it doesn't make me change my mind. It just makes me want to beat you even more.
3. Things that are cute when your brother does them, are not cute when you do them.
4. Vegetables are not toxic.
Things I wish J. understood -
1. Packing your own lunch saves time waiting in line, saves money, and cuts calories. It does not make you a dork.
2. There are two counters in the kitchen. They both need to be cleaned.
3. Chances are that if you leave a pan soaking for three nights and the crud hasn't come off yet, you will need to use a Brillo pad on that sucker.
4. A short skirt and high heels are overkill. (Or maybe I'm just jealous.)

People who leave dishes soaking this long know it will not soak clean. They are just hoping someone else will wash it. I remember this trick well.
Hehehe, I used that trick one too many times not so long ago...now I just find it easier to do everything...that way when my mom comes home she's like, hey, cool, you picked-up...and I can relax...
Sometimes she will come home and not care if I didn't do anything, other times I could do lots and miss one thing and she notices...but she's pretty good about stuff.

Actually we're out of space to put stuff, Jennie! Maybe I could borrow your bedroom. Hurry up and bring home "my" straightening iron.
May I suggest some spring cleaning?
Spring cleaning would be good. An add-on to the house would be better.
I can't stand it. I made up my mind to never say mean things that can be traced back to me but Oh, My God. My mother used to do this to me all the time! I was the neat one and she could have cared less when I was growing up. She had a dishwasher that never broke down. Me!
