Reasons I’m winning the “Mother of the Year” award
LilZ has been sick since Sunday. Here are some of the wonderful things I’ve said to comfort him during his illness:
- “Seriously. If you leave another tissue out for Sweetie to chew up I’m making you vacuum the entire house.”
- “I know the cold helps your throat but don’t drink anymore of my Diet Cokes, I’m almost out.”
- “You really need to brush your teeth, cough-drop breath is gross.”
- “Get out of the recliner! I have to feed your sister!”
- “Okay…now it’s your turn to rub my back!”
- “If you’re well enough to talk on the phone you’re well enough to clean up your room.”
- “Watch your sister while I soak in the tub. My knee hurts.”
- “Do you want some soup? It’s in the pantry…go ahead and heat it up for yourself while I sit back and read this magazine.”
I’m so awesome. He doesn’t even realize how lucky he is.
ok – you can go ahead and shoot me right after you read this, but I can’t help but wonder if he caught Mono. You know, because he went to that dance, with that girl, and now, well now he’s sick….
to steal a catch phrase from RSM – just sayin’
and PS – you still haven’t gotmy mom beat. Whenever we were sick she usually spit out this gem:
God? Again! it’s like you are MADE of germs. I dont’ have time for this, walk it off.
Oh yeah, the kid is so hard done by.
That is awesome…..My friend Steph got her mother of the year title by feeding her 2 year old a button.
“If you’re well enough to talk on the phone you’re well enough to clean up your room.†— I think you’re channeling my mother.
(And no, I’m not the feeder of buttons.)
Actually, you have to think about it in the context that you are training him NOW for when he’s married. After all, your future daughter-in-law will worship the ground you walk on if you train him NOW not to be such a big baby when he’s not well. Trust me. My DIL thanks me all the time for teaching my son the same lessons … along with how to cook, wash clothes, sew, all types of “woman things.”
Bet you never thought of it that way, huh?
Aww poor kid. I’m sure he is fine.
Haha…my boyfriend happens to think cough drop breath is very hot.
That last one totally sounds like something my mother would say.
