Adventures with Justin

Do you ever find yourself making a statement that, if overheard or taken out of context, might land you on the 6:00 local news? Trust me...if you're a parent, you know exactly what I mean.

Nine words I never thought I would say:

"Hey. Get your finger out of the cat's butt."

Yup. I said this. On Saturday. With a straight face.

No...it was not a punchline to a joke. It was me, trying to redirect my child. Justin has recently become very intrigued with buttons and, apparently, Seamus'...um...hiney closely resembled a button that needed pushing.

Any parents out there willing to share any phrases you never, ever thought you'd say, but made perfect sense once you had a child?
