(One of 50-60 standard sentences I say over and over and over. Other favorites: "Go to your room", "Apologize to your sister", "Please don't use your head as weapon, Harrison", "Can you please stop whining?"

"Please don't use your head as weapon, Harrison" Classic.
It all sounds so familiar...
My most-used sentence at the moment: "Boys, get DOWN off that table/chair/closet/windowsill/car-roof". No not really car-roof but you get the picture.
You say please? Your a much better woman than me! :0P
i am convinced that people with kids lead much more interesting lives than people without kids. namely, ME.
i need to get pregnant.
"quit licking people!"
that's one for the books isn't it?
When I have kids, my favorite will be, "You better be glad your mother is here to keep me from beating you!"
"Don't jump on the bed."
"I fixed that sandwich for you, not the dog."
"Stop whining and just tell me what you want."
Very funny post.
Last summer, I actually found myself saying, "I should NOT have to tell you not to play with DOG POOP!"
There's also, "How do you ask for that nicely?", "Don't touch that _____ (fill in the blank)!", and the always useful, "Go to your room until you can be civil."
