The Logic of a Mom

I’ve been writing some of the funny things the kids say in my “The Logic of a Child” column (which is just a small sample of all the interesting things that come out of their mouths), but here are a few things I’ve caught MYSELF saying lately that actually made me pause and giggle:

~ “Please don’t put your underwear on your sister’s head”
~ “Did someone pee on the dog?”
~ “Do you want moose poop or broccoli cookies?” (it’s actually Moose Tracks ice cream and Girl Scout- which they know as “Brownies”- cookies and the kids came up with the names so I went with it…anything to try to dissuade them from wanting sweets…but it NEVER works!)
~ “Can you please stop burying the dog’s bones?”
~ “Let’s not put Legos in the cereal, please” (this was my response to Garrett’s announcement that he made “Lego cereal”; fortunately he didn’t eat any…that I know of)
~ “If you don’t go to sleep now, then I’m going to wake you up extra early in the morning!” (after thinking about this I’ve realized that this threat probably only scares adults)
~ “Please don’t put his foot in your mouth”

And somehow this all makes sense to me…
