Music to my ears

Jump to Comments

In our house, we have a saying.  It’s not one that I created, but one that I heard Alex’s teacher say last year, and I fell in love with.  It really does say everything that needs to be said when one of my 3 whiny kiddos is complaining about something.  Today, Ian, my 3 year old, finished the phrase before his sister could get a word out, and I about fell over.  The phrase goes like this:  “You get what you get…” and the child is supposed to say back “…and you don’t throw a fit”.  Very basic and easy, but I wasn’t quite prepared for Ian to smile and say his part.  Granted he didn’t get it exactly right, but “…n you don’t frow a fit” works just fine for me :)

At least I know that he’s listening while screaming bloody-murder!
