Parrothead Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 We bought some school supplies yesterday. Dd decided to sharpen some pencils. She stopped and said the sharpener needs to be emptied, and walked into the kitchen. I figured she had given up and would empty the shavings container the next time she needed a pencil. No, she has drug the trashcan from the kitchen to the pencil sharpener which is in the living room. Now she is dragging the can back.

My husband worked with a nurse who once told her 21 year old daughter to make supper for the family. The menu included corn muffins. The directions for the corn muffins said: Mix by hand. When the mother got home her daughter said, "Mom, I enjoyed making supper for the family, but mixing those muffins by hand was so messy." :001_huh: Yes, she used her HAND.

Robin M Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Sounds like something my son would do. He has no common sense and takes things very literally. Makes life interesting sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the wall-mounted kind of sharpener and it is much neater to move the garbage can to the sharpener... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2denj Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 OMGOSH!!!! I am laughing outloud!!!! My husband worked with a nurse who once told her 21 year old daughter to make supper for the family.

joannqn Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yes, she used her HAND. Sometimes, I prefer mixing by hand. Some things are just easier that way. No, she has drug the trashcan from the kitchen to the pencil sharpener which is in the living room. Now she is dragging the can back. My son always does things the hardest possible way. I find that I have to teach him how to do it. Actually, my daughter does sometimes too. I have a hamper in the kitchen and asked my daughter to sort the clothing. She picked up one item, walked it over to the middle of the room, and dropped it into the proper pile. Then she walked back to the hamper, got another item, walked it over to the middle of the room...you get the picture. She wasn't even grabbing the top items in the hamper. Fifteen minutes later, she had only done half the pile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyof4ks Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 sometimes i think i am raising amelia bedelia here with my dd's literal take on things. I get that feeling too with my dd. Bless her heart, she tries so hard, but she makes life so difficult for herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmama4 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 sometimes kids have to learn the hard way like, why we don't put pennies in the light socket. Yes, my dh did that when he was a boy!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't I think of that?! Common sense is just not my forte :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 sometimes i think i am raising amelia bedelia here with my dd's literal take on things. That is it exactly. Amelia Bedelia. The sharpener is electric and sitting on a shelf. When she got done I looked at her and she shrugged her shoulders then said, "I don't know."
