Humility Bootcamp?
December 9, 2011 If you're not a parent but plan to become one some day, take my advice and practice humility. You're going to need it.
For example if you live in a cold climate, your child might make an announcement that goes something like this ...
"Hey Mom, I just farted in my snowpants and now I'm all extra warm!"
... followed by hysterical laughter ... in the produce department of a grocery store ... with lots of people around.
Just sayin'.

You know one day she'll be the mother and perhaps her daughter will say things like this to her;-)

So funny!
Ahhh Kristyne,
Kids say the damnedest things. Don't worry you will get even with her, without meaning to;-) when she is a teenager. Hang in there.
Take care,
Carole Y.
seven kids......been there...done that......hang in there, it gets worse....and then better....and then worse.....and then better :)
We had 6. Need I say more?
Holy cow! I am grinning ear to ear! Kids say the darndest things!!!!
The scene - a public toilet. In the cubicle, me and my small son, who said in a very loud voice - Mummy, why aren't you sitting on the toilet seat?
As it was of dubious cleanliness, I was sort of hovering over it (when a girl has to go, a girl has to go!!)
Never mind, maybe everyone else who was there was doing the same thing!!
What a great story this will make when she brings home her first boyfriend!
:D I miss those days. Why did my oldest have to grow up and move away. ;)
There have been so many of those moments, with both of mine, that make me shake my head, attempt to contain the laughter that is imminent and wonder how I got so lucky?
Humility? I must have missed that in my handbook of parenting. lololol
Thanks for the giggle. :D
Humility? That is my middle name after raising 7 kids. Hang in there. It only gets worse!
Blessings!
LOL Or your 2 yo might learn some words from his father and call your bra "booby socks." Thankfully not in public!
ROFLOL... deja vu over here... I have all boys... I guess it just comes with the territory of being a mom no matter whether they are boys or girls.... still ROFLOL....
Ok...those are the things you miss when your kids are grown and on their own. BELIEVE me, you will miss even the silly things. But we now have Grandchildren and I am sure there will be more moments of laughing over the silliest things. Yep, even those silly moments become precious!!!
But you DO feel warmer!!! LOL Just Kidding! Yes...the insanity has begun here too with our 2 year old yappin' up a storm, you never know what's going to come out of his mouth!!!
Just got home from chemotherapy, feel yucky, but boy did I just laugh my head off. Thanks!
Brilliant!!! :)

i would have laughed if i was in the produce department. too funny. good thing the zipper wasn't undone. whew.
You know how envious I am of all the lovely pink girly things you make for yourself and your girls...it sure is nice to know that even a mom of two girls gets to experience some really gross/hilarious things that boys announce on a daily basis around my house! Lisa in Texas
So true. I love that you have girls and that you get to experience the humor of boys. I thought just my boys liked to announce their bodily functions at the most inappropriate times. Thanks for sharing!
kids say the darndest things. I know. I have three all adults now but oh do I remember those times. lol
Hahaha! Man...I've had the hardest time commenting for the last several days -- something about your blog isn't loved by the other computer that I use most of the time. Anyhoo...I have been enjoying your posts!
That's a keeper. Nothing like having kids to embarrass you in public.....like the time we were in CHURCH and I was carrying my toddler back from Communion, and she put her hand down my sundress and YELLED..."Mommy, I got your BOOBIES" for all to hear.
Thanks for the laughter Kristyne! Here is a true story...
A young father was standing in checkout line at the store with his 4 year old son. The store was busy and a lot of other people were standing in the line as well. The little boy was squirming around pulling at the front of his pants. The Dad asked his son in a quiet voice, "What are you doing?" The young boy replied in his serious loud voice, " I am just adjusting my penis."
