  1. Excellent post. I will say with our daughters being 19 and 14 I have forgetten about a lot of these things, but you certainly conjured up some memories for me today.

  2. These are all so true!
    My almost seven year old has taken the bathroom thing to a whole new level. He will come to me and ask, “Mama, may I use the restroom please?”
    We are in the comfort of our own home, for crying out loud. You don’t need permission to pee in the toilet. I’m guessing this is a result of attending Montessori.

  3. These are all awesome!!! And so so true! Except I decided I need to stop sitting cross-legged because it’s not the boobs that get the needle-sharp elbows it’s my thighs! Agh!

  4. This is fantastic. One of the funniest things I’ve read in awhile. And ALL. SO TRUE. I JUST told your sister to stop doing _____ and suddenly you decide to start doing it?? WHY???

  5. Love! Now you need to grab a video camera and a few of your friends to perform this. Guaranteed to go viral!
