Just for Fun: What Is Your Most Used Phrase or Sentence?

"There's O. mom in this house, and it's me."

I have a very bossy 5 year old, and a 3 year old that's starting to follow in her footsteps. : )

"You get what you get and you don't get upset." (Getting used more and more with my 3 year old!)

But I do tell her "I love you!" probably more than anything else. That, and "What are you doing in there?"

"I mean, really?" and I know this because my 2 1/2 YO daughter looked up Monday as I was parking at daycare and said it like she new exactly what she was saying. I just rolled on the floor laughing.

Oohh. This is fun!

"You're killing me, Smalls". (from the movie, Sandlot). Mostly with my toddler, but I use it with all the kids

"Seriously?!"

"Pick. Up. After. Yourselves!"

"Let's GO!"

I didn't realize how often I used a certain phrase, until I was holding my, then, 17month old and opened the refridgerator. She says, "Hmm..let's see." Apparently, I say that when I look in the fridge OR the pantry, because that's when she always says it. LOL!!!!

"Seriously"?!?!?!

"Ryan, John, Rocky (<-- dog), whatever your name is...."

"put your pants on"
"turn off the tv"
"for a reason" annoying and weird I know

I told you to turn it off for a reason...
Don't break it, I bought it for a reason...
Hurry and get your shoes on, I'm asking you to do it for a reason...

I suppose I developed it to answer all the constant, "why?!?!?!"

Apparently, Busymommy B is my doppelganger.

"Did you wash your hands?"

"Try asking politely in your normal voice."

(as opposed to whining, shouting, or demanding)

oooh geez, and MY MOM'S is now also O. of mine "because I said so."

"Don't laugh at him"... to my husband regarding our 2 yr old's new found ability to articulate his every thought.

Last night at the table, JD: "Daddy, see that fork?" Response:"Yes, buddy why?" JD: "Because it's mine, so don't touch it!". Me (as my husband is biting his tongue): "Don't laugh at him!". Easier said than done!

you get what you get and you don't throw a fit.
waste not, want not.
walking feet.
inside voice.
focus.
watch where you're going.
two wrongs don't make a right.
I can't understand you when you _____(have food in your mouth, are whining, aren't making eye contact, aren't polite, etc.)

Go brush your teeth
Did you pee!
Stop it
Be nice
No screaming!
Shhh!
Let's go!
In a minute!
Close the door!
No jumping!..

With 2 active boys, my list of used words don't stop!

It's no big deal.
Did you wipe?
Gentle touches (to the cats)

Mine to my almost 7 & 4 yrs olds- Stop arguing!!!

Our kids to us- How many bites until I can be done??

"Leave your brother alone"
I have 2 boys....enough said :)

Time to leave the house
We get home
Dinner's ready
Movie starts
You need to get out of the shower
I'll look at your homework
You need to let your sister/brother use the XBox
Bedtime
Etc....

"Why aren't your chores done" and "No food in the frontroom". Oh, also NO Screaming. I have 4 kids who think that they need to yell at each other even though they are right next to each other and of course everyone is trying to be heard over everyone else.
Oh, and lately with my 2 yr old--get down and put the chair back.

haha. all the responses are so funny, mine is Do you need to pee? did you wash your hands?

"Mama loves you", closely follwed by "Good girls listen"

Currently it's, "Now!"

I have a dawdler - lol.

In fact, we are now at the point where I frequently ask, "How many times do I have to ask you to do something?" And he will spontaneously tell me after O. or two prompts to do something, "Mommy, at least you only had to say it 2 times!"

Me to Daughter: "I love you" closely followed by "Do you have to go to the bathroom?" and lastly "Do not draw on your face with marker!"

Daughter to Me "Hugs mommy, I love you" usually followed by "Is it lunchtime?" and lastly "Mommy it is 'insert day/date' what are we doing today?"

mine is to my dog too!!
"GET OFF THE COUCH!" I must say it a LOT!!! Also, "Chuy, NO BITE!" while he tries to nip my boys.
bleh

boiled down: "Share".

Brush your teeth!

No more brothers brawl! (My boys like to wrestle)

I know, right?! (A joke with my sister and I)

Are you ready to come home yet? (To the hubby at work)

"22 hours of labor"

It is how I pull rank when my oldest tries to claim that I am making him do too much around the house or that he has a hard life!

I like it because it puts things in perspective, but it also reminds us both of our mom/son connection. I usually say something nice right after it...like"You were the cutest little squirrel when you were born."

I would never say this in front of anyone not in our family...;-)

"Are you kidding me?" and if I am upset that sentence contains more words I am unable to post on this site. ;)

"Just a moment."

LOL... I remember when it was "Go Pee"

"What do we say about whining?"

"Who's my favorite little guy?"

"Can we be patient please?"

"I need to pee" and "I'm hungry" (I'm pregnant)

we use

~ Seriously?? my daughter to my son
~ Really?? my son to my daughter
~ "Oh Dear" - is my 20 month old when she is told NO.....LOL - it cracks me up, she learned that from Mickey Mouse Club House....

"Who called the waambulence?" Tease her our of whining.
"You're pullin' my leg."
"This isn't a dilly-dally day." Mon-Fri
"I love you so." Hourly: )
