Ha! Aint that the truth?!!
Haha! This is so true!
So funny! I bet you could walk up to almost any park and here most of those things.
Ahhh hilarious! I think we can all relate.
I say some of those things, at home 😉
How about…
"Please don't kick your sister in the head while your swinging!"
"Stop throwing rocks"
"Where's the baby?!"
"Stop eating the rocks!"
I prefer bunnies… Sadly it took a while to convince my kids they did, too.
The playground can really be headache-inducing can't it? 😉
Sigh. Yes. All of it.
(I'm so behind – I will catch up on reading and commenting soon, promise. xo)
The poor bunnies were getting no love at the park today.
Ah. Were you at the park with me?
What is up with the sand?!They must all do it!
These are hilarious Tonya! It's like you were at the park with my kids 😉
Seriously, the sand? WHY THE SAND?? Gah.
So funny! The poor bunnies. If I ever make the mistake of saying goldfish when I mean bunnies, we have day long tantrums.
We must have been at the same park.
Haha, great list! And these are all things that you say every time you go to the park, right? haha
LOL!
I think I have said all of those things today.
I think this is what my backyard sounds like on a daily basis! HA HA!
