What do you want on your tombstone?
Recently Kristin’s boys were talking about the phrases she uses most often — so often they’d probably end up on her tombstone. And then she asked her readers, “what phrases will be on your tombstone?”
Here are some of mine:
“Are you wearing underwear? Because we can’t go to grandma’s unless you’re wearing underwear.” (The boy likes to go “commando” and that really freaks out my mom.)
“No being bossy. That’s MY job.”
“Get your finger out of your nose.”
“Dude. Stop giving yourself a wedgie.” (Really, what is WITH that?)
What phrases are you known for by friends and family? What will be on your tombstone?

“It’s not time for nookie right now.”
… because my son calls his pacifier his “Nuk” or “nookie” and he is only allowed to have it at bedtime.

“get your finger out of your nose”
“no I will not give you a wedgie”
“OMG stop whining (sp?) like a girl”
those are to the 7 y/o
“money does not grow on trees, no I will not buy you a Hollister pair of (instert item of clothing)”
“get a job so you can pay for your own (insert car, insurance, Hollister clothing, etc.”
those are the 16 year old girl
“Stop freaking fighting”
to the pair of them.
what is it with boys and wedgies?

I don’t think I have any of my own.
But my husband made me promise him that when he dies I will put “I told you I was sick” on his tombstone.
And I will.

“Helping hands and listening ears.”
“Say please”
“No fit throwing.”
“I mean it.”
“I need a booze-ahol.”
“You’re my son-shine”.

Hands out of your mouth.
Finger out of your nose.
I can’t understand you when you whine.
Inside voices please!
Hands to yourselves please.

Mommy needs five minutes of quiet!
Do you want frozen pancakes or waffles?
Seriously?
Yes! I would love to meet and chat after the next meeting (this is not for my tombstone - this is to you
It will be fun to connect.

How weird that I was just thinking about my tombstone this very morning. Mine should say:
Finally! A decent nap.

This is a fun idea!! Here’s just a few of mine:
“Because I’m MOM.”
“If it doesn’t belong to you, don’t touch it.”
“Please don’t eat things you find on the ground.”
“Hurry up…we’re late!”

That underwear one is hilarious, and very much like my world.
Mine might say, “I’m not in charge of keeping track of your things.”

I think my girls will have the National Anthem engraved on my tombstone. For some unknown reason I will just start signing it–while I’m washing dishes, doing laundry, in the shower; and it is not keyed for any paticular reason.
My oldest is leaving for college in August, said she is going to take a recording of me signing the Star Spangled Banner to listen to when she gets homesick. Oh-my-gosh I should have a button to push on my tombstone that plays a recording of me signing. Imagine, “oooh say can you see….” I would have the rockinest tombstone ever!

Haven’t commented in a long time but this post compelled me. I once made a tombstone (I was sent a link, I know weird) but this was mine
