Tricia, a friend of mine who is currently dealing with the whirlwind of a toddler, has found a list written by someone who is also overwhelmed, made that connection, and decided to laugh about it. Here now are the top ten reasons having a toddler is like being at a frat party:
#10. There are half-full, brightly-colored plastic cups on the floor in every room. Three are in the bathtub.
#9. There's always that one girl, bawling her eyes out in a corner.
#8. It's best not to assume that the person closest to you has any control over their digestive function.
#7. You sneak off to the bathroom knowing that as soon as you sit down, someone's going to start banging on the door.
#6. Probably 80% of the stains on the furniture contain DNA.
#5. You've got someone in your face at 3 a.m. looking for a drink.
#4. There's definitely going to be a fight.
#3. You're not sure whether anything you're doing is right, you just hope it won't get you arrested.
#2. There are crumpled-up underpants everywhere.
And the #1 reason having a toddler is like being at a frat party:
#1. You wake up wondering exactly how and when the person in bed with you got there!!!
First of all this list is great. As a mother of two I can relate. Although this list is pretty relevant, I think, until they move out. It doesn't really change it just gets older, like your kids. Personally I am looking forward to the day my kids have their own houses and I can go and make a mess.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I figured any parent would be able to get this list. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the list, Annie! Actually, you'll probably get more fun out of watching your kids run around chasing their kids.
oh no I plan on making the mess before the grandchildren get a chance to.....lol But yes your right when I have grandchildren, someday, I will enjoy every minute of it.
