No! DO NOT put chicken in your eyes!

[KumfyKozies]

So yeah, I find myself saying really bizarre, yet incredibly necessary things to my toddler. For example, at lunch yesterday I suddenly exclaimed, "NO! DO NOT put chicken in your eyes!" I started laughing, because that sounds absolutely ridiculous, but when you have a kiddo who turns every meal into a sensory experiment when she starts to fill up, you'd be surprised what comes out of your mouth.

That's hilarious! I was on the phone with my brother a year or so ago, and had to tell DD1: "Chloe, remember, we only touch our vagina in the privacy if the bathroom or the bedroom. If you want to go to the bathroom, that's fine. Otherwise, you need to stop."

He has a boy and was floored. He told the rest of my family and they tease me about it mercilessly now.

We have those conversations with our DS (about his p*nis). People laugh at it all the time.
I say LOTS of things that seem dumb at the time.

Here it is more along the lines of "Do not put chicken in your SISTER'S eyes..."

LOL!

The other day dd came out of the bathroom with my acne medicine (it's in a little dropper bottle thing) and said "mom...I found new eyedrops!" as she was about to put it in her eyes! good thing I caught her.

we do the same thing about private body parts here......geez...and running around naked w/ visitors.....I think I had to say the other day " no p***s' in the pool...." that should've been no naked P***s' ...but seriously...we say stuff along those lines all the time or ds would run around buck naked all the time...twiddling his stuff the whole way....

I can totally identify! There are so many things you have to tell kids not to do that sound hilarious. Don't put yogurt in your hair. Don't lick people's shoes.

One day Yo Gabba Gabba was on and they had a song called, "Don't Bite Your Friends." We sing that all the time.
