I should write a book (from real life experience of course) on things that probably aren't that effective when you say them to kids. I could start with a really stupid thing I said to Noah the other day: "What your mouth, you little turd!"
Me - Noah, do I have anything in my teeth? Noah- No, but you should win five dazzling smile awards!
You know, Mom - It makes my day when I look at my muscles.
Ruby fell asleep on the couch last night and was looking pretty sweet. Noah kissed her and said, "I'm so glad I have a sister like her." Before he went to sleep he said, "Mom, if Ruby is still sleeping when I leave for school, will you help me write her a love letter?"

That made me both cringe and laugh. Cringe from the times I've said things I could take back and laugh cause well "turd" need I say more...
LOL! I want to know what his reaction was!!?
He hardly noticed! I did though. I apologized right away.
