Help Me Build The Mother's Handbook!
- Rating: No Rating
When the kids ask you those "WHY?" questions, what do you answer?
You could say, "Because I said so," but that leaves a nice opening for the kid to respond, "WHY?"
My mother always answered, "It says so in the Mother's Handbook."
The rumored Mother's Handbook told us we needed to keep our rooms neat. It told us we needed to wear clean underwear everyday.
Since I can't find my (any) copy, I am trying to recreate it! Hopefully, I'll eventually have a page where you can send your kids and say, "SEE! I told you it said that!"
Please drop by my website at www.mothershandbook.net and leave a comment with your favorite "Momism" on "The Page You Show the Kids!" (Or you can leave it here) Anything from eating veggies to carrying an umbrella in the rain. Anything your mom used to foist off on you with a "Because I said so!"
Every entry gets a link to your blog or website, so it's a win-win situation. And once a week I'll award a prize (currently, a copy of Erma Bombeck's "When God Created Mothers") to the best one. If all the entries are just too good, and I can't decide, the Engineer will use his random number generator.

My mom used to say that if God wanted you to have that, you would've been born with it.

I could not figure out where to leave a comment. But I always tell my sons to stop playing with their penises or they will fall off.

My oldest doesn't care about why, but rather how. How is that made? How does that work? How does that grow? etc. Any answers for those would be great! The show "How It's Made" is great. I know more mindless information, but can recite it back to my son when he asks - even if he already knows the answer!
Announce yourself!
