Phrases I say every day - at least 3 times


As a parent, I often feel like a broken record, repeating the same instructions over and over again. So, if I had a dollar for every time I said one of the following, Kate’s college fund would be overflowing:

  • Stay on the sidewalk; don’t get out in street. 
  • Watch where you’re going … you’re running into people. 
  • Don't run off ... stay close. 
  • You have to hold my hand when we cross the street/walk in the parking lot. 
  • Sit down in your chair before you fall over. 
  • Put your shoes and socks away. 
  • Get your finger out of your nose.
