Special thanks to Doc for his contributions...
Nice collection. I would add
ReplyDelete"do NOT put that sandwich in the VCR"
It's not often posts make me laugh out loud, so I like to acknowledge when it happens (like now).
ReplyDeletemine are similar, but they generally start with, "goddammit! What the hell is going on??"
ReplyDeleteThank you Riley for not letting your mom drink and drive by hiding the keys in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteum...Doc wasn't the one you had to call down from dancing naked in the window I hope!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy was there cat food in that umbrella?
ReplyDeleteI think I could find a use for most of those lines - thanks for bringing them to my attention.
ReplyDeleteWhile I laughed at this post as it was intended, after reading Genn6's comment I laughed even more imagining all of these were directed at Doc.
ReplyDeleteDammit. I've been beaten to the question about Doc's contributions. I need to get up earlier.
ReplyDeleteI find myself channeling the spirit of my dad more and more as I grow older, with statements like "Because I said so, and I will knock you into next week if you don't settle down!"
ReplyDeleteDoc really needs to behave better in front of those impressionable kids ...
ReplyDeleteDeadspot,
ReplyDeleteI am graciously unemployed and sleep in all the time now so that's no excuse my friend.
Poor Doc, we're all pinning it back on him. I see another text message coming to me with him signaling the bird in my direction!
If I had a dollar for every time my parents had to tell me to put down my sword...
ReplyDeleteWow, this list is like reading a review of my day. I frequently double up or even triple my statements, "Hey, put down that sword and leave the cat alone! And You stop jumping on the coffee table and bring that juice back into the kitchen!"
ReplyDeleteThis is all before 9 a.m. too isn't it?
ReplyDeleteohmygod, I love this! I can't wait to see what I'll end up saying in a couple of years.
ReplyDelete"Underwear does not go on your head"
ReplyDeleteOh.
I had no idea.
This is a hilarious list, by the way and it scares me how many of admonitions are applicable to my workplace.
