Five Things that Moms Say that Make No Sense (No Particular Order)

1. Why can moms not get that only girls wear coats? You'd think they were girls or something.

2. What is this bizarre obsession with mud? Sheesh! You'd think it was radioactive the way they carry on about it.

3. Eat! Don't eat! Eat! Don't eat! Moms cannot make up their minds. Look, Mom, there are two categories of food: good food (Lucky Charms, cheetos, root beer) and bad food (weird soup, spaghetti sauce, whatever's for dinner). If you'd just work on always getting us good food, we'd eat and you wouldn't have to say a word.

4. The room clean thing is one I'll never get. It's just a whole lot of effort for no reason. I've cleaned that thing a million times and no progress has been made. In fact, I think it's dirtier than when I first started. Could we just stop?

5. WHY do you want to comb my hair? And WHAT is the purpose of a "part?"

Okay, yes, I do admit you were right about the deodorant, and where did I put that, anyway?

Very good insight for the future. Now I'll know what he is thinking when I ask/do these things.
Oh-and thanks for dinner the other night, it was awesome! It was so much fun to hang out with you guys, and I know Charlie had a blast! :-)C

Wow, this is a great insight- though I guess it's sort of frightening that you can just compact all the things that are wrong in a child's life into a few bullets.

Just keep going, and your boys, like me, will become extremely neurotic about any sort of dirt. Also, wearing coats during anything but skiing or steelhead fishing qualify you as a grade A weenie.
