My kids are officially the last ones to be picked up from school almost every day. I have maxed out on carpool drama. Folks need to learn how to wait in line. Then teach their kids how to do it. Just sayin’.
Today as we were speeding out the door I yelled at Sadie, “Get some clothes on! We’ve got to hurry!”
Sadie, who prefers as do all of my children, to wander around the house nekkid, grabbed a sundress and pulled it over her head. We jumped in the car and before buckling herself in her seat (which, PRAISE THE LORD, she can now do herself) she took OFF the sundress– that she had been wearing approximately 37 seconds. Sadie proceeded to buckle herself into her carseat, in nothing but her panties.
Picture me– not caring.
We zipped through the deserted line and picked Aubrey up. We were heading home when I yielded at a green light before turning left.
Sadie: GOOOOOOO MOMMA!!!! GOOOOO!
Me: Hush you don’t know what you are talking about.
Sadie: GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Me: I DO NOT TAKE DRIVING ADVICE FROM NEKKID PEOPLE IN FIVE-POINT HARNESSES! Zip it. I’ve got this.

Grady learned what a stop sign was and continues to yell, no Mamma you have to stop at the octagon. A few weeks later I taught him Right on Red, and now he only wants to go that way. No Mamma we go right on red.
Robin says
LOL at right on red!
Monica says
WOW hahaha too funny! Why do kids like being naked?? (Obviously I have no chil’rens, but babysitting used to make me feel so awkward!)
Gena says
When Davis was a toddler and we approached a yellow light he would yell, “HURRY UP!”

That just cracked me up. My kid is now old enough to sit in the front seat and I’m sure you can guess what that means! All kinds of comments on my driving or rather my swearing when I’m driving. Love your blog.

Must admit I have a touch of the “road rage” and therefore my 2.5 yr old’s response every time we stop at a red light is “GO WADY – Da gas is on da wight!”

Hilarious. Love this. I’m totally using this line as my kids are often naked too. Or in pajamas. They really should let kids wear pjs to school.

Love it! I’ll never forget the first time I ever heard my toddler swear! I had had to slam on the brakes and had been so restrained to not swear at the guy who had cut me off. From the back seat my 2year old blurts out ‘SH*T!’ She got the context so perfectly that I could do nothing but laugh….. Kids! Love ’em
