You know you may have said something a few to many times when you 3 year old says it. I asked Ms. Action to do something and she responded \u201cHang on, my milk is coming down.\u201d<\/em> I was to stunned to reply at first, but since she doesn\u2019t have a nursing child I am forced to conclude that she was copying me and is not at risk of soaking through her shirts while she desperately searches for a nursing pad. I have decided to watch how literal I am around this kid.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>
In the course of a 5 minute phone call (literally), my toddlers washed down the bathroom using about a half pump bottle of soft hand soap. The entire bathroom reeked of the flowery scent of soap. Drinking cups were slippery with it, towels were smeared with it, a toothbrush was filled with it. A bar of soap was also used to draw on the wall, Thankfully soap washes off fairly easily.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>
While making this crock-pot meal<\/a> I heard some strange sizzling noises. I found the lid of the crock pot swimming in some sort of golden liquid. I was baffled until I realized that it was dripping off of the microwave shelf. I had put a pound of butter there to soften, it was mostly melted, but thankfully I caught it before it had completely disintegrated. And the meal didn\u2019t seem any worse off for having a little bit of butter added to it.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong>
While cooking I heard Ms. Action say \u201cHold still, I cutting you hair\u201d<\/em> and turned around in time to see Ms. Drama sitting perfectly motionless while Ms. Action gave her some very interesting layers with a single snip of the kitchen scissors.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong>
I made french toast for breakfast and while eating my own slice had the unmistakable taste of garlic in my mouth, (I guess I didn\u2019t clean that pan as well as I thought I did) I mentioned it to my husband and he said \u201cOh that\u2019s what it was, I thought maybe I was being poisoned or something. Like maybe the egg was rotten.\u201d<\/em> I have no idea why he just ate the french toast if he had these concerns.<\/p>\n

6.<\/strong>
With our kiddos sick this last week, my hubby mentioned that he thought he saw some spit up under the highchair. When I asked Ms. Action what it was she replied \u201cI burped\u201d<\/em> I quickly asked if she had burped anywhere else and she told me matter-of-factly that she had burped in the sink too, but that was it. Sure enough, there was a small amount of vomit in the bathroom sink. Ms. Action sure seemed unfazed by it all, and as far as I know has had no further problems with \u201cburping\u201d.<\/p>\n

7.<\/strong>
Ms. Drama\u2019s favorite thing to do right now is follow me around with a ponytail saying \u201chelp\u201d<\/em> and pointing to her head. No sooner do I put it in her hair then she pulls it out and resumes following me, repeating her request with a big smile on her face. This can continue the entire day. <\/p>\n

And as a bonus:<\/strong>
While I was changing the baby\u2019s diaper my toddlers took one bite out of every freshly baked muffin cooling on the counter and carefully replaced them. I am still not sure why they did this.<\/p>\n
