On any given
school day, this is pretty much how I sound.
Time to get
up.
What do you
want for breakfast?
Do you want
____? (Reply: Well, ...)
Yes or no?
(More
suggestions follow)
Go get
dressed.
(10 minutes
later) Are you guys dressed?
(I go
upstairs and see various stages of undress) Didn’t I ask you to get dressed?
Where did your
clothes go?
You’ve got 5
minutes and then I come upstairs with the squirt bottle.
(Stella
comes down completely dressed including accessories)
Where are
your socks?
Brush your
hair.
I don’t know
where the brush is, it should be in the drawer in the bathroom.
Why are
there still dishes on the table?
Brush your
teeth.
Where are
your socks?
You don’t
brush your teeth in the living room.
Can you
please go get the lunch bags?
Do you want
a cheese stick?
It’s a yes
or no question.
Did everyone
brush their teeth?
Why not?
Where are
your socks?
Put your
socks on and get your shoes on!
Have you
looked in the mirror?
Take a look
and tell me if you need to do something.
Oh for the
love of all that’s holy (and most likely some profanity) WHERE ARE YOUR SOCKS??
In the car,
I’m leaving!
Anyone else
out there have “trying” mornings?
