My Top Ten List

Below is my list of the top ten words or phrases (in no particular order) that make me cringe. Some of them make me sound like a bad mom. But, be honest. You know you have thought the same thing...

1. "We need to work on the laundry this weekend."
2. "Your cell phone bill came." "There are X number of dollars in text messages." I really need to get a plan that includes texting.
3. "Mom," I am going to be a dog/cat/elephant/bird/etc./etc/etc. "What should my name be?"
4. "I'm bored." This is a new one - I just love it. My mom used to give us chores when we said that. Not a bad idea.....
   
5. "We need to get packed." I realize I should be happy we get to go on vacation, but I hate to pack.
6. "What do you want to do?" This is a phrase that can be used for many different things. Suffice it to say that there are generally no good things to come out of it.
7. "Mom, can you make my chocolate milk?" This wouldn't bug me so much but it is always proceeded with "Can you sit on the couch with me?" And, when I do, I have to immediately get up and make chocolate milk. I am starting to sound lazy......
8. "Mommy????"
9. "Can you wipe my bum?" Maryn seriously needs to wipe her own butt.
   
10. "If we buy/do that, what are we going to give up." We are going to give up NOTHING. NOTHING. DO YOU HEAR ME???????
