"Stop Using that Hot Dog to........

[philaround]

"Stop pulling that dogs tail!! How would you like it if he pulled your tail?"

My daughter said the exact same thing to my grandson two nights ago.

When my daugter was 2 or 3 I found myself asking her "Just what made you think it would be a good idea to feed a 2 pound block of cheese to the dog?"

When ds10 was two, I actually had to utter the line, "Oh, that's just great. Now I have to go get the tweezers and see if I can get that dime out of your butt!"

Chris was 'helping' me roll up coins in money wrappers, when I had to leave the room for like 30 seconds (what was I thinking?!). I come back and he's got this look on his face like he did something really wrong and didn't want me to know about it. I then started a mental and physical process of elimination (no pun intended) until the source of the confusion was both located and successfully extricated!

I hope I wasn't the person that got that dime from the bank!!

A few months ago I told Dd "No more grapes until you eat some pizza!" Dh looked at me like I was crazy, but to my defense she had *only* eaten grapes that day and I was really afraid of what was to come.

Mine is pretty close, and I had thought of it before reading yours.

This was to my 4 year old nephew.

"no more broccoli until you eat your pizza!"

My nephew loved broccoli, it was all he would eat. I never thought I would say those words, but he isn't the most normal kid in the world!

I'm gonna have to ask DH to remind me of what I said
the other night, it went right along with this thread.
There is one thing I say frequently to my DS (just turned 3 on Tuesday),
he loves shoes and feet:

"If you don't behave I'm going to take your shoes - all of them!"

I live in constant (not really) fear of someone calling DYFS
on me while I'm out.
The threat really works - I've actually had to follow through -
DS usually clams right up and behaves, lest he lose his beloved shoes
on the ride home...

Ok, My DH has a niece that comes up with the best things....

about 3 yrs ago (when she was 2) she got up at her usual time ....6 am...
her mom (dh's sis) asked her what time it was and his niece replied, "it's the dick of dawn"

soooooooooo we now refer to sunrise as the "dick of dawn"
oh it's also the "cracker of dawn" b/c of this child..
