What kids really mean...

I'm by no means a great parent, I've got quite a ways to go before I'm winning mother of the year awards (next year I might nominate myself), but I have learned a thing or two from my kids.  Some of this stuff has taken me a while to figure out such as...
1.  When my girls tell me to watch a new dance move, what they really mean is "watch my move the whole time and if you even blink, I'm doing the whole 5 minute routine over again."  I've learned to keep my eyes on the dance until it's over.
2.  The S word is stupid - such as, "Mom, Jake said the S word"
3.  The F word is fart. Thank goodness it's not the real bomb!
4.  When my kids say they brushed their teeth awesome, then that means they need to go rebrush them because they are still an orangeish hue.
5.  When Abby says she cleaned her room, it just means she rearranged all the junk on her floor.
6.  When Hannah says she wants to hold Claire, then that means we only give her to Hannah when she's already crying because that's undoubtedly what is going to happen anyway.  Bless her heart, she tries, but somehow she can't figure out how to hold her still, and Claire doesn't like it one little bit.
7.  When Annie says she's ready to go, then that means we'll arrive at our destination with Annie sans shoes. I've learned that one the hard way not once, but twice this week. I need to go deposit some flip flops in the car.
8.  When my kids say how cute Claire is, they're right!

So here's to me learning and getting one step closer to my MOY award.
