I decided that I needed some humor in my life today, so I’ve come up with a few of my top 10 lists.
I hope you enjoy… and don’t be afraid to laugh!

The Top 10 Most Common Phrases in Our House
10. Inside voice please. (Quiet time? What’s that?)
9. Focus, focus, focus. (No such thing as the attention span of a 4-yr-old when there are more fun things to do than what he has been asked to do.)
8. Do you understand? (Usually a question to Zackery to make sure he really does understand why – why to just about everything, good or bad.)
7. Do you need to go potty? (Also accompanied with Did you go poop? – The difference between one that tends to have accidents because he’s having too much fun to take a break, and one that’s still in diapers.)
6. One at a time. (This generally refers to Brayden stuffing his face with whatever delicious snack he has guarded inside his dimpled little fists.)
5. Do you need a timeout? (Usually the threat is all that’s needed, but I must admit I am not as good with the follow through as my husband.)
4. Listen the first time. (I get tired of repeating myself. I get tired of repeating myself. I get tired…)
3. Zackery, get off your brother! (It could be a case of snuggling or it could be a case of something not as nice – either way, the smothering must stop!)
2. Hey! (Not so much a phrase, as a word that I find myself using in a raised voice more often than I’d like to gain attention and temporarily halt the pending meltdown(s).)
and…
The #1 most common phrase… “I LOVE YOU!” (Self explanatory.)
Good lists. I hate Thomas! You must be a saint.
Thomas is not my 1st choice, but it keeps my boys entertained and (sometimes) quiet – like now! 🙂
Thanks,
I have granddaughters and the little one is four. She LOVES Thomas and Handy Manny. She’s rough and tumble like a 4-year-old boy but finally SOME of the things on your list are now gone.
Funny post. Great lists. Hope you had a “fun” day.
Thanks, it was a rough day yesterday, but today we are having a lot of good fun. 🙂
Ah! Sid the Science Kid is in my head now! I guess it’s at least different than having Yo Gabba Gabba songs stuck in a constant rotation, even when waking up in the middle of the night. No really, for both Hubs and me, there is always a YGG song in there.
You are a brave woman to let YGG into your house. I can’t stand that show – but that’s just my opinion. 🙂 However, I have put it on in an “emergency…”
LOL! Just exactly what is happening in my house 🙂
Oh I’m glad I’m not the only one! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by…
