Nuggets of Mom Wisdom...

Nuggets of Mom Wisdom are the random, off-the-wall things that come out of our mouths that we pass on to our mini's.  Feel free to add your nuggets of mom wisdom.

Here are a few from this summer to my youngest mini.

1. My little Miss Mia was with the rest of the family at a family party when I caught her turning the volume down on the stereo.  Being the brilliant lady that I am, I admonished her, "We don't turn Def Leppard down, we turn them up."
2. As we were driving to a military concert/bbq benefit, I pointed out the brilliance of the hubby's plan to drive slower just because there were cops out.  I mean, there are always cops in this area - 'cause there's state police unit.  Miss Mia, hearing us talking about cops, begins questioning, "Cops?  Cops?'  We thought that was so amusing, that I said, "Yeah, cops. Do you see any? Watch out for cops because they are always after us.  Keep your eyes out for any cops - if you see any, tell mommy."  My loving little mini says "Ok, mommy."
3. After a long day at home with mommy, where the little miss pee fountain - aka Mia, could not keep her pants dry, I decided to give up, and take her outside with the big sister.  I was so tired of dealing, that I didn't think about what she was wearing.  First, her hair had been put in a ponytail that morning.  As you know if you have daughters, hair falls out of ponytails, and mommy didn't fix it.  Next, she had cheeto stains on her chin, around her mouth and streaks from cheeto drool down her shirt.  How about her pants, you ask?  Oh, that's right, she wasn't wearing any.  Just the pull ups.  And no shoes.  And she was running alongside her sister as her sister rode her bike.  I took a second look at her, as she was running, and told her she was a hot mess - a toddler hot mess.  Oh, and yeah, the put togther neighbors with their perfect dog and perfectly dressed kid in a stroller walked by as I told my 2-year-old she was a hot mess.
4. As you may know, we are potty-training in my house.  After my 800th time rolling toilet paper back onto the roll due to my daughter's obsession with the awesome (not too soft, not too hard) toilet paper, I told my daughter that she had a toilet paper addiction and that I was going to send her to toilet paper rehab.  It may have worked.  She hasn't unrolled toilet paper in a while.  Well, it was either the rehab threat or the yelling, swearing and barbie be-heading.  Who knows?

As you can tell, I'm also giving her fashion tips.

Let me know some of the awesome things you have passed on to your kids.
