Parenting breakthrough

I may have recently come up with a breakthrough in parenting. Since I'm pretty much a broken record with my children (or, since records don't so much exist anymore, perhaps a CD on repeat play?), I'm thinking I should take advantage of this to save myself time and frustration. I can make a CD recording of my voice and just play it on repeat throughout the house. A few sample tracks:

"Why would you think it was a good idea to do that?!!"

"Leave your baby brother alone. If he cries, it means he doesn't want you to do that."

"Did you flush the toilet and wash your hands?"

"Brush your teeth, make your bed, and put away your pajamas." (That one could be a whole CD itself.)

"Stop talking and jumping around and go to bed!!"

"What part of NOOO did you not understand? Am I speaking English here?"


And my personal favorite, and the one that gets used far, far too often:

"Because I said so. Because I'm the mom and I'm the boss, and I said so. That's why."
