We all remember those quotes from Mom....the ones we vowed never to say to our own kids. Well, for the most part, I don't say those things. Instead, I've come up with my own.

My new favorite is, "What do you want me to do about it?"

The conversations go something like this....

Tyson (the hypochondriac) says,"Mommy, my big toe hurts!"
I say, "What do you want me to do about it?"

Owen says, "Mommy, my cap gun is breaking!"
I say, "What do you want me to do about it?"

Big O says, "I don't have any short socks clean!"
I say, "What do you want me to do about it?"

Tyson says (after I already put salt in his grits), "I didn't want salt!"
I say, "What do you want me to do about it?"
His reply, "Pick it out!"

I used to try to fix everyone's problems all day long, but sometimes, things just can't be fixed! :o)

My favorite saying for my children is "It's not fair, is it?" I figure that they're not too young to realize that life just is not fair. And thank goodness, it's not! (Sometimes!)
