So true!!! DDs play together, then DD20 mo starts screaming. Mommy says, "Ashlynn (DD4.5), what happened?" Ashlynn's immediate response, "I didn't do it; she did [fill in the blank] all by hersef."

Sound familiar to anyone???
 
Oh yes. I get "I didn't do it" or It wasn't my fault" from either my 16 or 12 year old daily. Occasionally Dh will throw one in there too.
 
"Mom, I really love you"................what you hear from a child who probably just did something wrong :)
 
Dad said I could..........A child playing a con or a husband in really big trouble
 
The sayings are really great. I loved them. I thought of a couple more but then I realized that I think they were just extra children that lived here. Their names: Not Me, I Don't Know, and I Don't Know. Now that the children are older 27,26, 24 and 23 you would think that the other children would have left but noooooooo it seems they have stayed around to play with the dgrdd's.
