From a friend...
- NEWBORNS-How can such a tiny person eat so often? I really need a shower. Will I ever sleep or fit into pants again?
- TODDLERS-I turn my back for two seconds and he’s totally naked and on top of the refrigerator.
- LITTLE GIRLS-I think she started a sentence five years ago and hasn’t stopped talking since. I’m going to lose my mind.
- LITTLE BOYS-Can you please get the pee in the toilet? And for the millionth time put the seat down. Your sister just fell in.
- TWEENS-You are too young to wear that. You are not old enough to watch that. I don’t care if everyone else has a phone.
- TEENS-Get off your phone. Is your homework finished? Don’t roll your eyes at me. Why are there so many towels on your floor? It smells in here. Get up…it’s noon!
- YOUNG ADULTS-Are you eating enough? When are you coming come? I love you. I miss you. This house is too quiet.

Those first 6 go by in a minute. That other one lasts a long, long time.

DeleteI've put all that out of my mind. Out of my mind? Well, that too.
ReplyDeleteIt's been interesting to watch grandchildren go through the stages and not have to be in charge of it.
DeleteSo true. We spend many years wanting time for ourselves with little ones tugging at our limbs for attention. And then the tables turn....
