[momofsix]

That is TOO loud!
Get your hands OFF your brother
Feet on the floor
flush the toilet/wash your hands
that is not acceptable behavior at my house
couches are for sitting...............stop jumping on my furniture!
You're SOOOO cute! (usually said w/ kisses and hugs)
And my favorite mantra-to remind myself "Children are a blessing from the Lord!"

"who pooped?" cracks me up! but even worse is when you DON'T have to ask who pooped b/c you are around the kids so often that you know who it is by the smell! I know that's so gross, but so true, right? LOL!

That cracks me up because just today, my daughter says, mom I think X is poopy. I say no, that is an XX smell. She thought that was gross, but I was right!

:::: I never dared mention this to anyone, because I thought I was the only one! It's so good to know I'm not the only one who can differentiate between poop smells!

Most frequently is a tie between "shut the door" and "stop whining!" (whining is mostly my own 4 1/2 year old...been trying for years to get her to stop!).

Oh I am so glad I am not the only one that is sooooo ready for school to start! Those poor teachers, wonder how they do it.

[MarinaVanessa]

Some of these are stolen but they're great:

"I don't understand whinese"

"What?! I can't hear you!" (at a screamer)

"You are special in your own way"

"Uh-uh-uh"

"Everyone or noone"

"No you don't have to sleep but you have to stay quiet" everyday before naptime, 5 minutes later they're asleep.

"No you can't watch TV"

"You can cry all you want but you have to do it in the crying corner"

"Go tell tattling turtle"

"Well that's great that you do it all the time at home but here it's unacceptable"

That is one of the strangest things about doing daycare. When I was pregnant (working outside the home) with DD, everyone told me that, as a mom, I would know the different types of cries (hunger cry, wet/poopy diaper cry, tired cry, hurt cry, etc.). Sure, I learned those pretty quickly, but I was shocked to realize I could tell who pooped just based on the smell. That's when you know that you are not just a mom - but SUPERMOM (aka daycare provider/surrogate mom to many)!

Things I've found myself saying to daycare kids....

What on god's green earth made you think that was OK?

Don't throw the cat!

Do you act like this at home?

(and if the answer is yes, I follow up with)

And what do your parents do then?

(if the answer is no)

What makes you think it'd fly here?

HANDS OFF MY TRUCK!

Don't eat the dogfood!

Where are your pants?

You flushed WHAT down the toilet?

Gee, I wonder why the dog doesn't like you......

If you pick it, you gotta eat it. (this doesn't usually stop them from picking, but it does stop them from putting it on the furniture).

OMG! this one made me snort i laughed so hard!!!!! i gotta remember that one!!!!! ::::::

[TGT09]

Shut the door!
In or out!
Don't want to hear it!
Stop fighting/bickering!
Yes, you HAVE to go outside!
I'll let you know when you can.......
When I say no, it means no!
Yes, there WILL be naptime today!
Pick up toys!
Yes, you have to eat that!
No, you cannot get up until everyone is done eating!

I could go on and on! And, here I thought I was the only one wanting school to start!

[professionalmom]

On the truly difficult days, you could hear me mumbling the following under my breath:

2 more hours, just 2 more hours (till nap time or pick-up time).

This was modified to fill the actual time left. And the closer it got to pick-up time, the more sing-song and energetic it became.

This is so gross, but so, so, so true!

I only have trouble telling 2 kids apart by smell (they are twin brothers), so I feel like I get a pass there considering they likely have identical diets ::.

[mismatchedsocks]

Lean over!!!!

That is what is for lunch today.

Shhhhh!!

Put the baby down.

No you cannot paint your nails.

Sit on your bottom

Did you use soap?

And my favorite...

How many days until school?

Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
