Even Ollie is annoyed... |
ME: I cannot wait for my baby to start crawling!
BTDT: Yes, you can. Trust me, it's nice when they stay in one place.
ME:Whatever...
Sure enough...Two months later... Baby starts crawling... far and FAST! Making it so I can no longer leave a room for a second without losing my baby.
BTDT: I told you so.
ME: I cannot wait until my baby starts eating solids! I might try rice cereal early...
BTDT: Yes, you can. And don't you dare! Rice cereal won't make them sleep through the night, plus life gets very messy when they start solids. They throw more food on the floor then they actually eat.
ME: Whatever...
Sure enough... He didn't sleep any better, and WHAT A MESS!
BTDT: I told you so.
Me: I cannot wait for my baby to start walking!
BTDT: Yes, you can. They want to walk EVERYWHERE. Including the grocery while you are trying to shop.
Me: Whatever...
Sure enough... My son learning to walk turned out to be so annoying, because 9SURPRISE!) he constantly wanted to walk everywhere.
BTDT: I told you so.
Me: I cannot wait until I can hand my phone over to my son to keep him busy while I shop.
BTDT: Yes, you can. You will never see your phone again!
Me: Whatever...
Sure enough... all he says is, "See Ollie! See Ollie!" He wants to look at pictures and videos. (For more information on this epic fail, see "Warning DO NOT give this to a toddler."
BTDT: I told you so.
Me: I cannot wait until my starts talking!
BTDT: Yes you can. They repeat everything you say.
Sure enough...
Me: Shit!
Toddler: Shit!
BTDT: I told you so.
And the latest... and yet to be seen...
ME: I cannot wait until my toddler can hold conversations!
BTDT: Yes, you can. They NEVER Shut up!
Me: Whatever! I cannot imagine wanting that sweet little angelic voice to "shut up!" I bet my kid will say the greatest stuff too! No way would I want that kind of funny to stop! Yeah, whatever. No way will I ever want him to Shut up...
BTDT: Trust me on this.
I know history proves I should believe the Been-there-done-that parent on this one. BUT! BUT! BUT! ... But nothing, I have eaten my words enough to know I will want him to stop talking too. Even if it is unimaginable now.
What words has a BTDT made you eat?
