Things I never thought I'd say...

As a mother, I often find words coming out of my mouth that are bizarre at best and sometimes I even stop and think, "wow, didn't think I'd ever say that...". Here are a few examples I've uttered recently:

"Little A, don't lick your sister."

"Is that poop or chocolate?"

"Don't say hoo-ha in public."

"Please don't talk to me. Or touch me. Or look at me." (never thought I'd say that to my own kid)

"Good doggie" (to Little A who likes to pretend she's a dog)

"I'll give you something to cry about." (thanks, Mom for teaching me that one)

"Gummy bears are not a breakfast food."

"I am not a trash can." (Repeat x 1 million. WHY do my kids think I am a trash can? Why?)

"Calgon, take me away" (yes, I actually said this in a non-joking manner. It didn't work.)

Anyone else want to share the things they never thought they'd say?
