In random order, here are the top 20 sentences I seem to have on repeat lately:

Sit down properly and eat.

No fart noises at the dinner table.

Chew with your mouth closed.

Do not run in the house.

Don’t jump off the couch.

Get off my coffee table.

Leave my couch pillows alone.

Don’t push your brother.

Don’t hit your sister.

Please do not lick me.

Pick up your toys.

I said stop running!

Eat your vegetables.

Don’t talk with your mouth full.

What happened now?

It is unfortunate that you bumped your head, which is exactly why I told you not to jump off the couch.

Please do not show people your bum.

Turn the light off in your bedroom when you leave the room.

Get in here and flush the toilet.

I said get off my coffee table!

I think I already know the answer to this one, but I’m going to go ahead and ask it anyway…

This doesn’t happen to end anytime soon, does it? Please tell me we are just in the throes of a very long winter.

    I wish there were a way to check off all the sentences that overlap what is going on over here! I think the only one not fitting is “don’t hit your sister” for obvious reasons…Though I have not been licked recently…hmmm, I guess it DOES get better!

    Ha! Might I add that “don’t hit” and “don’t push” can certainly be applied across both genders. We are all about equal opportunity sibling harrassment.

    I think it’s funny that most of these are flat out commands, but that on two of them you are actually pleading with them to not do something (lick you or show off their bums) by politely adding “please” to your request.

    LOL, I love that you noticed that!
