Toddlers can be irritable, opinionated, self-righteous creatures. Parenting them often reminds me of taking care of a drunk friend. A drunk friend who lives with you and never leaves. Nonetheless, toddlers and irresponsible friends happen.
Here are 30 things you can say to both your toddler and your drunk friend:
1. You can't nap here. You need to go to your bed.
17. Don't point, it's rude.
20. Please hold my hand in the parking lot. I don't want you to get hit by a car.
21. I don't have any more money. Please stop asking.
22. I know I said you could have ice cream, but it's too late now.
30. I told you to sit here. Why did you leave? You have to tell me when you're going somewhere.
Next time you have the task of taking care of a drunk friend, remember why you love them.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
