"If you are doing something you shouldn't be doing, somebody always gets hurt."
I've been saying it since Kid #1 was little and would get hurt. It was my way of not overreacting to "all" of her complaints, ouchies, tattle-telling and so forth.
She would come to me and say something like, "I hurt my knee climbing on the kitchen counter-top." And I would say, "Well, that's too bad. Are you okay? Yes? Well, you know you shouldn't be climbing on the counter-tops. And what do I always say? 'If you are doing something you shouldn't be doing, somebody always gets hurt' right? And she would reply with a dismal 'yes.'"
As time went, and more kids were added, it has been said over and over again.
Sometimes I start it out, "If you're doing something...."
And the kids finish it..."you shouldn't be doing, somebody always gets hurt." ...sometimes in unison.
So, again I searched the web for this quote. And again I got nothing. Well, nothing on the first page. :)
So, you see, my second quote in one week. I am on my way to being published. Lol.
