Isn't it with your hands? What does eat with your eyes mean? Sorry for my ignorance!

It means that when I fill his plate he'll say moremoremoremore and I say don't eat with your eyes. If you eat what's on your plate, you can then have more. The first time I said it, he stared at me blankly (he was eating me with his eyes LOL

) and I told him that eating with the eyes means that you look at the food in the pot and want to eat it all. Since then, when he asks for moremoremore before he's even touched his food, I start saying don't and he finishes the sentence for me, giggling.

Well, it is better than eating with your hands Rolling Eyes

Not in my book - because the food doesn't end up in the garbage if they eat with their hands. LOL

Someone finally found my glasses, in their toilet.

Eveyone come down from the walls and ceiling! (really, they can hang like spiders from corners and hallway ceiling)

At least they're not eating with their feet ...

That sounds really deep. Maybe the title of a self-help book for people still struggling with sibling rivalry dating back to childhood. Or an inspirational book for accomplished but insecure people.

Don't eat that stuff from your nose its not kosher

I've said, "Is there a brocha for boogers? No. So then you're not allowed to eat it."

No, you CANNOT pick your nose and then eat the snot - and it's NOT the same as picking fruit!!!

Yes, the car door must stay closed when the car is moving, and no, it's not cool to hang halfway out the window.

Of course you have to open the door first if you want to get into the house!

Yes, the mailman is a person.

Can you please explain what picking up the toys mean?

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH???

Jelly fish is not healthy, nor is it a fish....

You must wear clothes to the Shabbat table. No, boxer shorts and a tee shirt are not *clothes*

I know we have 8 chairs, but if you invite 6 friends for Shabbat lunch, Ima and Abba won't have a place to sit.

[Many years ago] You can't be a train when you grow up. You have to be a human.

I don't know why Jewish schools don't have football teams.

Boys, please stop shooting your brothers ("guns" made from sticks. Again.).

In this house, we don't throw hammers!

Sorry, kiddo, peanut butter is not a veggie.

Who pooped next to the toilet? We only go IN the toilet!

Put the books down and come to the table!

What is this yellow stuff in the bathtub, boys? (I'm sure you can guess what they were "collecting.")

Kids are so funny! And kind of gross, or maybe that's just my brood of boys...

The KBH has blessed me with a very bad memory. I don't remember ANY episodes like the ones reported here. There must have been some, as we don't live in Stepford, but I just can't remember any.

We do, however, quite clearly recall a freind of ours yelling at his son, "You must wear pants". I thought I'd burst a vessel laughing when I saw that someone else reported having to say the same thing!

"Give back her pretend cookie. No, don't tell me you ate it already. It was your sister's cookie. She pretended she made it. Of course I can't see it. Give it back anyway!

Don't cry about it! It was just a pretend cookie! So make another one if she won't give it back!"

You just reminded me of one of my all time favorites:
"If you're going to the PRETEND bathroom (in a game) then you can't make for real!"

I didn't say it because I was in middle of putting the baby to bed, but I needed to say it to my almost 3 yr old:

"Are you a cat? Stop licking your feet!!!!" Puke

He was really washing it up with his mouth and tongue.

Stop repeating yourself! Stop repeating yourself! STOP REPEATING YOURSELF! Ahhhhh! You started it!

You are not Iraqi and I am not the president, stop throwing shoes at me!

I don't know why boys have nipples... (my 4 year old son wants to know)

Stop digging up the backyard right now! How many times have I told you to stop digging?!

Because I said so!

Because I'm the mommy!

If you keep clucking like a chicken, I will have to pick you up and swing you around my head 3 times!

This is one of the funniest threads on here.
Reviving it.

Here's mine.
To my 12mo whom we call out little monkey. Wink

"Even real monkeys don't eat banana peels"
There are so any other funny ones I can't remember. I sometimes surprise myself.

While I'm lucky my younger two love most vegetables, I've had to say "You can have more salad after you eat a little of your chicken"
