A toddler's brain!

[Froglover]

I don't have children, but I just found this funny picture on the internet and wanted to share it with you guys:

I love the 'short list of edible meals' and 'ability to share' on the right. [post18]

[St. Theresa]

Barney theme song occupies far too much area! haha.
My.exact.first.thought.

[courey]

That's horrifyingly accurate at times!

[St. Theresa]

It is!

Although I think it needs a grab-anything-within-reach reflex area, as well as a regression center.

[courey]

Yeah, the grabbing everything should replace the Barney's thing, for sure. ;)

[NightRose]

That is awesome. And so true it is scary. Except in my son's case it was Teletubbies because Barney was forbidden in our house [post67]

[Froglover]

I also love the tiny 'patience center' and the tiny 'neatness center'!

[Rose Bud]

Just replace Barney with Blue's Clues and yeah, that'd be about right. ;)

[FaerieDreamer]

hahah that's great. In my house, Barney would be replaced by Clifford and/or Sesame Street.

[St. Theresa]

I might have to steal this and edit it for a TEENAGER'S brain...as if I think I'll have the time. It would have to include: automatic "It's not fair!" reflex, uncontrollable urges to eat everything in sight, aversion to cleaning up after one's self, susceptibility to peer pressure, hormonal mood swings, oversleeping center, bad taste in music and a fetish for ripped clothing.

^ I got a "you're ruining my life" yesterday!! I think I may be moving closer to the teenager's brain with my oldest. yep.

[courey]

Sounds similar to Salem lately, too. ugh. Especially the eating everything in sight, mood swings, and not cleaning up after himself. My god, I have to tell him, every single time he's done eating [everything in sight], "clean up the table, rinse out your bowl/plate, put it in the sink, throw your paper towel away," minimum three times a day! You'd think he'd just DO IT by now....

My daughter's exact words last week! [post83]

"It's not fair" came out when I made her go home because I found her riding her bike with no helmet.

Sounds JUST like my house.

Oh, and I forgot, "push in your chair," otherwise he'd just leave it scooted out in the middle of the kitchen. What is up with that? ;l

[where'smyhalo?]

my sis and i were crying at the 'fake cry center.'

that is too funny.

[St. Theresa]

Me: Chairs are for butts, floors are for feet. Get off the arm of the chair. Sit like a normal human being. This is a recording.

[bear]

My recording is "you have arms and legs." My daughter would prefer to spend an hour arguing over your getting her ice water that she is perfectly capable of getting herself rather than getting up and having it in what? 30 seconds!

And yes the plate in the sink and the shoes NOT in the middle of the floor.

[St. Theresa]

OMG, get a glass of water for her?????

*falls off chair*

Imagine one of my children asking me for that. Now imagine Roseanne and what her response would be. ;)
