Here are some of my favorites (not so proud moments, most of them) 1) If you do not leave each other alone I am going to deposit you on the train tracks with a loaf of bread and a dime to call someone who cares 2) If you want to live to see tomorrow you will remove yourself from my sight - and yes, that includes the eyes in the back of my head 3) (in response to "what do I get?" when asked to do any chore): "You get to live in my house and eat my food - now DO IT!" 4) I will very happily send you to Australia to live with your grandmother - don't test me - I will do it 5) (uttered when I have retreated to the bathroom for 3 minutes of alone time) - "For G-d's sake, let Mommy poop in peace!" - for the longest time my youngest thought our powder room was "peace" :-) Love the “no dick” zone! Here are some of my favorites (not so proud moments, most of them)

1) If you do not leave each other alone I am going to deposit you on the train tracks with a loaf of bread and a dime to call someone who cares

2) If you want to live to see tomorrow you will remove yourself from my sight – and yes, that includes the eyes in the back of my head

3) (in response to “what do I get?” when asked to do any chore): “You get to live in my house and eat my food – now DO IT!”

4) I will very happily send you to Australia to live with your grandmother – don’t test me – I will do it

5) (uttered when I have retreated to the bathroom for 3 minutes of alone time) – “For G-d’s sake, let Mommy poop in peace!” – for the longest time my youngest thought our powder room was “peace” :-)

LIES!!! D-I-C-K! That is totatly a curse word! "10.If you don’t cut it out, I am going to make you apologize to the Rabbi the next time we go to the synagogue." That's a threat technically. I'm just kidding. btw, I like it when your blog topics are about us! -From Noah “I am not above lying, cursing, or threatening.”

I've got nothin' for ya, although I am blatantly stealing that one about the special doctors. That's mom gold.

You get an "A" for originality...my lines are typically pretty cliched (Because I Said So, Do you want your face to freeze like that, etc). Although Phil loves to remind me of the time I said to Emma, "Are you trying to put be in a mental hospital? Because I've been there, done that." I should start saving for her therapist now;) Seriously Emily, #6 made me laugh out loud.

I'll catalog them immediately! I, too, have been known to throw the occassional F-bomb but I try to use it sparingly to keep it's effectiveness in tact. I threatened to take the sleepover friend home during dinner last night and it seemed to work since the friend was now imploring my son to listen so he didn't have to go home. Oh, those are good!
