After spending yet another Saturday in urgent care with my four year old, I needed a little boy humor.
How many times have you stepped on the same broken toy?
Do you own stock in bathroom cleaner?
Is your favorite designer purse now a tote for Hot Wheels?
It’s not easy keeping up with boys, and it takes a special kind of person to do it.
We asked some wonderful ladies to answer this question: “You know you’re a mom of boys when _______” and they came up with some insightful and hilarious answers. Here are ten of our favorites!
You know you’re a mom of boys when…
“…trips to urgent care are as common as trips to the grocery store.” -Janie Bentley
“…your furniture becomes launching pads.” -Nicci Adler
“…you are challenged into a Jedi laser duel at the toy store.” -Araceli Osuna
“…doing laundry you find a stick, a broken plastic spoon, and a dead cricket wrapped in a napkin in your son’s pocket.” -Lesley Whittaker
“…you reach into your purse for lipstick only to find Nerf bullets instead!” -Michelle West Russell
“…you have a stash of washed out empty pickle jars for the next bug that is brought in from the backyard.” -Janine Rodriguez Haynes
“…farting is considered one of the funniest things in the world and never gets old.” -Cathy Clansen
“…you get used as a jungle gym for a good portion of the day.” -Kathy Jackson
“…you constantly step on little Lego pieces everywhere!” -Kate Otto Kersten
“…the toilet is empty but the wall is wet.” -Justine Burgess
