MOM’S LIST OF CHRISTMAS CAUTIONARY QUIPS
I love this wacky warning label and will admit proudly that I never folded the baby up with the stroller, or threw the baby out with the bath water.
Today, actual awards were handed out for the most ridiculous cautionary warnings slapped on every product from hair dryers (DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING) to a can of nuts (CONTAINER MAY CONTAIN NUTS).
Now it is our turn to come up with some “heads-up” of our own based upon our time spent with the little-ones around Christmas time.
CHRISTMAS CAUTIONS:
1. Ribbons torn off of Christmas gifts are not to be used to tie up your sibling because you think he got better gifts from Santa than you did.
2. Antlers on a headband meant to be worn by the dog for Christmas photos should not be used as a torture device on same sibling that you thought got better gifts from Santa than you did.
3. A nap for mom in the middle of Christmas day may lead to purposeful unconsciousness when kiddos start to complain that their new toys don’t work as the TV commercial said they would.
4. Whining/screeching and screaming about toys not received will be met with “Just ask Santa next year”.
5. Statements accusing MOM of BEING Santa and not providing kiddos with the requested toys will be met with enough head rolling and eye widening to require the mid-day unconsciousness mentioned in Caution #4.
I can’t wait to read some of yours, Mary……..have at it!
