Don't you just LOVE how they're always surprised that you KNOW that particular song and dance and actually REMEMBER that they try that every time?

It's like they expect us to have no memory at all of the previous day. Or year. Or their life.

"You always say that" "But Mommy, I MEAN it!" ...."yeah, you always say that part too. Still no."

I KNOW, what is up with that! If I ever tried that with my mother she'd a done me in!!!
I've been known to tell the kids I didn't fall off the turnip truck this morning......

Seconded. So hard.

My personal favourite comes from my cousin: Yes, we are discussing this event. Yes, I got a detail slightly wrong. No, actually, that detail has absolutely nothing to do with the actual point of the story. Why, yes, it is rather annoying how you keep insisting on this. Why do you ask?
She's also been known to correct her mother, when said mother was telling her little sister not do do something because X person wouldn't want them doing it. I swear, this girl needs to learn that literal truth and accuracy is not really always the point, and it doesn't make you look intelligent to insist upon it when it's entirely auxiliary to everything about the conversation.

Even more annoying is a kid that insists on things being TRUE when they are not remotely even CLOSE to what happened!!! :ninja:

When Mommy is sleeping it's not normally a good idea to get right in her face and SCREAM " can I watch t.v?" ......

It's not normally a good idea for the 3 of you to gang up on Mommy and then act all surprised when Mommy decides she's had ENOUGH and hands out punishments. It's also not a good idea to LIE to your therapist and then SULK because Mommy tells her the TRUTH.
Oh an if you want people to be nicer to YOU then you must act accordingly calling people losers and other not so nice names won't get you treated NICELY by the other children, in fact it will have the complete OPPOSITE effect you are looking for.
IF you tease the dog with dog treats EXPECT the dog to get mad and bite you, you have been warned more than once. When I ask you why the dog bit you DO NOT point at your father and say " it is his fault cuz he's lazy" HOW in your mind that is even possible is beyond me but stop blaming everyone else for YOUR CRAP.
When I say go take your pills BEFORE you play videos games, I MEAN IT. Do not act surprised when I turn off the tv and take away the controller. OH and you do not make the rules there fore you will get the controller back WHEN you stop acting like a little brat, I will not give you back the controller to make you stop acting like a brat life just does not work that way!

Mom's and dad's caregiver's etc feel free to add to the list! This post is all in good humor thou.

That is why I send my 2 sons to a summer day camp. I literally will go crazy when those two will just stay at home the whole day. This way, I can have a couple of hours to myself until the time they get back.
