Quotables

You know you’re a Parenting-On-Track family when you hear:

• “Mom, come on! Let’s go! I don’t want to be late for school!”
• “She’s not willing to clean the sink, so I’m going to do it for her. Can I use the yellow sponge?”
• “I found out that when I’m left alone, I like to clean. We cleaned the kitchen, now we’re going to clean the house.”
• “Ok, if you’re willing to play Frisbee later, then I’ll get my work done now.”
• (As I started to give advice): “Mom, please don’t. I’m so tired of people telling me how to do stuff all day at school.”
• “I have a problem. I haven’t been getting to bed on time lately. I think if I go to bed too late there should be a consequence.”
• “Mom, stop staring at me like you know I’m about to figure this out.”
• “Hey, if I act calm, I become calm.”
• “If you never let us get hurt, we won’t have any good experiences.”
• “Mom, I appreciate your self-control when we fight.”
• “I hate when my friends don’t know how to do anything!”
• “The more I save, the more I lose. If I count up all the money I’ve lost, it’s like $100!”
• “I want one, but I don’t want to use my savings.”
• “Mom, please go away. You slow us down.”
• “I hate showering. It’s such a pain. But if I go a long time without it, then people really notice when I do shower and I want to die of embarrassment because then I know that they know that I haven’t showered in a long time. Ugh. The only reason I keep any hair on my head is because it’s fun to have when it’s clean!”
• “I take pride in having a mom who doesn’t tell me what to do.”
• “My family is awesome.”
