From the Mouths of Moms

From guest blogger Lucie Amundsen… 

One of the most surprising things about parenting for me has been the incredible things it has made me say. Sentences tumble out of my mouth that adults without children would never dream of saying.

Just this week I rounded the corner to find my son, fresh from the bath, on a stool removing popcorn from the microwave. And I said this instructional phrase, “We DO NOT handle hot food NAKED!”

A friend just had a baby this week and I briefly thought of embroidering just that wording on a throw pillow to let her know how ridiculous her life will become. But she is in the throes of baby love and she wouldn’t believe me anyway.

I want to know what things Cribsheeters have let tumble forth from their lips - if only to make me feel better.
