Defining Parenthood


Here are some  new Parenting definitions.. 

My, how words meanings change when you have kids….




Good Clothes: Attractive, expensive children’s clothing made of a fabric which attracts melted chocolate and grape juice.

“YIPPEE!”: What I would say if my youngest son peed in the toilet instead of all over.

WALLS: Large slabs that attract fingerprints crayons and wiped boogars.


WASHING MACHINE: The appliance in my house that runs 24 hours a day.

UNDERWEAR: An article of clothing, that my middle son likes to “forget to put on”

QUIET: A state of serenity which was achieved  before the birth of my first  and I heard it will reoccur after the last child has left for college.


PURSE: A sack that I carry snacks ,extra kid underwear, action figures a wallet and occasionally a tube of lipstick.

“EXCUSE ME”: Now used in multiple ways by me at least 100 times a day..  i.e I heard someone burp " Excuse Me! "
              Someone talks back .." Excuse Me?"

 ..
“BECAUSE I said so”:My reason for things that can’t be explained.



Kids even change your language....

Truer words were never spoken than your last line! :) So crazy all the new verbiage that gets added to your Mommy vocabulary! (And phrases too... "dear, please don't lick the windows" etc)
