Kassia Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 My favorite with my kids were when my twins were toddlers and were desperate to eat the lights on the Christmas tree. They would get really close, open wide, and I'd yell, "Don't eat the Christmas lights!" Never imagined I'd be telling anyone to do that. I have photos of them close to the tree with their mouths wide open - so funny. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alysee Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 What is with the licking and kids?? Shoes, people's bodies, clothing, tires, floors, other people's toothbrushes, carseats, tables, balls. All of these things are things I've had to tell my kids not to lick. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to grab her, wash out her mouth, wash her face - for her to do it all over again. She smugly claims that's why she doesn't have allergies . . . . . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wintermom Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 I wish I'd written more of these down. The only thing I remember really vividly was something my dd said. She was about 4, and my ds was 2, and they were grabbing onto the kitchen table while standing underneath, and swinging like it was a gymnastics bar. I said, "Stop swinging on the table!" and dd boldly tells her little brother, "Don't listen to her!" The funniest part was my dh was listening to this exchange, and quickly ran out of the house, knowing that I'd explode and lose my mind - which I did. No one was hurt, but it certainly was a memorable moment in parenting. 🤪 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 “Your feet and your head should be facing the same direction” I don’t know how many times I said this to my kids but walking through stores, museums, parks, you name it, and my kids are walking one way and looking another and causing calamity or near calamity. Seems such a basic concept and yet. I was once in a gift shop of an amusement park and heard another mom announce to her brood “feet and face in same direction” and I almost kissed the woman and pronounced her my soul sister. But in the time it would have taken me to do that my kids would have knocked something over so I didn’t dare. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, he's not allowed to eat paper any day off the week. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin 1 went through a stage of licking everything. Once while in Melbourne I went biserk in a public toilet when he started licking the lid of sanatary desposial unit. I often wonder what people in neighbouring stalls thought was going on when I yelled stop licking. He would wipe surfaces with his hands then Lick his hands. We had to get play therapist /psycologest help. Eventually we were able to break it by gloving up before going into a public toilet. He wouldn't lick latex gloves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
