Funny things parents say (part 3)

Kids often say very funny things. Parents generally aren't quite as funny as kids, but they nevertheless do occasionally also say slightly amusing things.

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog rounds up some of those slightly amusing comments.

His reflection, on the other hand, just sticks to eating Oreos.

1) "The name 'terrible twos' is just a cruel joke on new parents to trick them into believing the later years are somehow less terrible."

2) Here's a nugget of wisdom which most parents can probably relate to...

"Cleaning the house while children live there is like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos."





3) "You don’t realise how long your arms are until your child wears your cardigan as trousers."

"How did thet get in there?"
"Hmm, it's a mystery."

4) "Having kids is great because you get to ask fun questions like why is there a volleyball in the refrigerator?"

5) "My kid's superpower is using 24 different cups in a day to drink 3 cups of water."

To be fair, that superpower still applies to me!

8) "Spelling words to your wife to hide things from your kids is great until you get to M&M's."

Editor's note: "Charles, M&Ms is the plural form of M&M, so there shouldn't be an apostrophe after the second M. M&M's with an apostrophe would refer to possession."
Charles: "Tell Mars, not me! They're the ones who decided to use an unnecessary apostrophe."

It looks like this was a rare occasion when the experts were right.

9) "I'm just typing this to look busy while my kid asks people if they want to play a board game."

10) Parenting experts: "Your children will model the behaviour they see."

Me: "Really? Because my kids have seen me fold laundry. They don't fold laundry."
