Had to copy and paste this one. My kids will love it. :roll:

Don't we all!?!:)Too funny!:)And, so true on so many of them:)LOL Skeat

Yes but sometimes I HEAR myself, like in the third person! Yeuchh! And sometimes my 4 year old daughter parrots me - she says 'It drives me up the bl§@"dy wall'! Yes, I'm sorry, she gets that from me! Now she even swears in French - the other day she was colouring and went outside the lines and said, well, the French equivalent of the f word! She does not get that from me, I only swear in English! :D

Too funny -- now I'm saying those things to my grandkids..... :lol: :lol:

I've heard all of these and have been guilty many times of passing them down to my kids and grandkids, too :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll: :lol:

So funny, and the last one is true. I laugh every day as my daughter tries to cope with the same things I had to with her.

LOL I hope when I show this to my Mom, that she thinks it is as good as I do.....LOL
