"oooook. Margarine is not a toy!"

"I don't care if poopy is squishy, it still belongs in the toilet!"

"Toy pots are not made to pee in"
"The armrest cup holder isn't made to pee in either. It's either the potty or the toilet."
I'm at my wits end!

“If I catch you reading, I’m putting your book in timeout”. Or something along those lines.

I’ve created a reading monster. My kid will read instead of whatever else he’s supposed to be doing. I find it funny I put books in timeout in my house!

"I'm not a playground, get off my {insert body part here}," as I open my eyes to start my day.

Honey, do you mind watching the kids for a couple minutes so I can just eat my piece of chicken in bed, without anyone touching me?

We have a similar rule. I put the kids on time out and remove all the books from the room because for them books are heaven on earth.

“Sweetheart, nobody takes their lawnmower to bed.” (Cue the epic tantrum of all time...)

“Why are there Cheerios in your diaper?”

“The bubbles in your apple juice are different than the bubbles in the bathtub. Please stop swimming in your apple juice!”

“Elmo keeps Shabbos, too!” (Why we cant watch Sesame Street on Friday night)

“Okay fine, it’s green.” (Or yellow. Or purple. Either way, not worth the fight.)

“This doggy is called a cat, and it says meow.”

I'll never forget having discovered the Rubbermaid container that housed our wooden train set filled to the brim with pee. One of my toddlers used it as a constant potty until I discovered it when cleaning for Pesach. That toy train became history REALLY fast

Singing to my kids
"You scream at me, I'll scream at you louder, louder, louder, louder!"
And dancing out of the room, for a mommy time out.

Mommies dont need anyone in the bathroom with them because Mommy doesnt like when people clap fpr her after she makes.
This was after said kid called my mil to tell her that Mommy made so much in the toilet today, just like _____.
