Another installment of... things you never thought you would say before you became a parent.

Against my better judgement, I bought Q the roller skates she wanted for Christmas. The kid is accident prone enough, so naturally I give her another way of inflicting damage upon herself and others. she opened them up Christmas Day, and after the happy squeely dance around the living room I gave her the lecture about wearing a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and a few other safety issues. But then reality sets in. Here are some of the things I have been screaming...
No skating down the stairs!
No skating blindfolded!
No skating down the stairs blindfolded!
Stop putting the dog on a leash and getting her to pull you around on your skates!
No getting up before Mom and roller skating on the ice wearing nothing but a night gown!
(and my favorite...)
No skating while playing the violin!

I dunno, I think I like this one best, but the whole list cracked me up.

And at least she is practicing her violin.

LOL, the joys of being a mom and attempting to keep the child alive and safe.
