My stepdaughter says that I have a million questions that I repeat constantly (similar to your list) but only two (dripping with sarcasm)answers...
Really...
and
Seriously, Tabbi?
Can anybody get too much of Spongebob? I don't think so Wendi!
I hide in my closet all the time. Unfortunately, the girls have figured it out and look there for me first.
not to criticize, but... i believe it is the custom of a FAQ Page (Frequently Asked Questions) to provide ANSWERS to those said questions. it sorta leaves the reader hanging w/o them. i was clicking around for about 10 minutes before i realized you had no intention of solving these mysteries for us. and pawning us off to your friend's website doesn't count. sorry. unless, of course ,this is a plot to leave us wanting more and to have us tune into your blog tomorrow. in which case, you are brilliant.
And when they get a little older you get to include the litany from my house:
What does your homework look like for tonight?
Have you finished your homework?
You're not really watching According to Jim are you?
Did you bring down your laundry?
Where are your gym clothes?
Who left their soda can in the living room?
Who set the table? Did you remember napkins? Is there salt on the table?
Please tell me you are not eating a bowl of potato chips 15 minutes before dinner?
Are you wearing your retainer?
You are going to shower tonight, right?
Whose towel is this?
So much to look forward to, I know.
And of course, the ever popular:
"What are you licking?"
Where, the"what" on any given day includes dogs, floors, toilet seats, picture frames, glitter, markers, pennies, DVDs, baskets, diaper cream, boogers, and tires.
Favorite b/c i have the sense of humor of a five year old:
"Does anyone know if the brown stuff on the wall is chocolate?"
OMG, do you have a tape recorder running in my house?!? A few more favorites around here:
"Have you lost your mind?"
"Do you want some more of this?"
"He/she said WHAT?!?"
"Does anyone know which one of the puppies did this?"
"Do I NEED this?"
Fantastic post!
:^) Anna
These questions asked at the Praters every.frickin.day to each squirrely, unhygenic pubescent boy:
Did you brush your teeth?
Did you use paste?
Why not?
Do you know how much those braces cost?
Did you know thats studies indicate gingivitis can prevent you from playing Medal of Honor 3?
If you brushed what's that white stuff in your gums?
Why would you nestle your toothbrush into the bristles of the toilet brush?
Can't you run the water when you spit?
Did you use the bathmat to wipe your mouth again?
Should I call CSI to analyze that spatter pattern on the mirror?
Did you wash your hair?
With soap?
Why not?
Very, very funny, WA!
There are only 3 questions asked repeatedly in my house... 1. Do you know where the dirty laundry basket is,because I will show you AGAIN where it is.(The same damn spot it has been since we moved into this frickin house. i do not play hide and seek with the hamper) 2. What do you want for dinner? 3. Honey, will you please bring me ANOTHER beer. That one gets asked more than I care to admit in 1 night.
So simple yet so accurate.
My favorite overused family line is ---
M is for Mom, Not Maid, Dammit
These are awesome!!!! I'm laughing myself silly. Totally Stumbling this because the whole WORLD has to read it!
Oh noes! I can't stumble your individual posts. They revert back to the main URL each time.
Where is the answer key?
re: the answers
I've been asking the same questions for around 7 years and still don't know.
Wendi
Oh! Can I play? Are you going to make me come up there? Exactly who do you think you're talking to, mister? Do you live in a barn? Pick up your clothes!
Oh, wait. Better not get me started...
Did you wash your butt is a big one in my house! LOL!
When my grandkids get into my car or truck and fasten their seatbelts, they leave the chest strap behind them, so I always say, "Chest" and they both sigh and say "Yes, sir. Sorry!"
The other day they clime in and I turn to look at them and say, "Now, what is the first thing I say to you when you get in?" And my grandson said, "Shut up!" I was laughing so hard as I drove off and left him on the curb at the mall.
I love this!
Damn, that all sounds exactly like me! Seriously, all of it sounds like me except for one additional question:
"Are you trying to give Mommy an ulcer? You're killing me, I can feel it!"
LIAR!!!
This is the FAQ sheet on my fridge, except you omitted that one about playing with yourself on the couch. But i think that's more directed towards me anyways.
Too funny!! My fav: "Good God, which one of you was just in the bathroom?" Wondering if your family ever answers your questions. . .
"What part of NO did you not understand?"
followed promptly by
"The O."
I have a question similar to Queen Goob: What part of (fill in the blank) was unclear here?
Oh, that's a perfect FAQ list!
I would like to add my personal favorite/most regretted FAQ: "Do you think money grows on trees?"
It's one of those I swore I would never ask because it made no sense to me whatsoever as a kid. i.e., "Of course I know money doesn't grow on trees?! What a stupid thing to ask!?" And yet, I hear myself ask way too many times.
I hate hearing myself repeat the same questions over and over again.
Wendi come over to mine - I having another boring award for you.
I ask those same questions in my house - but sadly, my husband and I have no kids.
With a two-and-a-half year old I'm the one asking the questions and not getting answers.
Bean, why are you crying? Yes.
Bean, what happened? Yes.
Bean, did you do poopie? No. (to be understood as Yes)

Check out this link. We've been set to music. They're playing our song ladies.
so glad my sons aren't the only ones whom watch too much spongebob! I'll have to try hiding in the closet sometime, too. :)
What happen to "who was the last one in the refrigerator last night"...a;ways asked first thing in the morning after it stood open all night!
#9 - the 'chocolate'? Hilarious.
These are all classics. I'm even starting to bust out with 'Who do you think I am, one of your little friends?'
And my personal not-so-proud-of-it favorite:
'Are you a moron?'
Tooo funny, Wendi! I don't even have kids and it cracked me up.
Oh god... Spongebob...
I'm always asking my son, "Do you have to make peepee? Then why are you keeping your hand there?"
I don't hear my boyfriend asking questions, but I do hear things like this:
1. Don't eat the fly swatter!
2. Don't color on yourself.
3. Macaroni and cheese does not make a good wall decoration.
