Did you know?

Back to living in the Real World again!

Well......with my kiddos, I wouldn't exactly call it the "Real World", it's actually more like living in a 3 ring circus when you're afraid of clowns.

Apparently, NOTHING in my home is meant to be used as intended.

I'll admit, I've been known to use a butter knife as a screwdriver, a coffee mug as a hammer (Note to self: you can only do that so many times before said mug explodes in your hand!), or a credit card to unlock the door (never mind HOW or WHY I know how to do that!).

The kids, however, have taken the idea of multipurpose items to an entirely new level!

Did you know:

1. When you're too tired to get out of bed and get a tissue......bed sheets can serve the same purpose.

2. If the puppy destroys your pink feather boa...........the nasty pink dog leash works just as well.

3. When you can't go undetected to throw your mashed potatoes away........the couch cushions make a very convenient trash can.

4. When you're 18mos old, reach your hand into your dirty diaper but can't find a towel.......your baby brother's head works GREAT!

5. If you don't have a magnifying glass to look at bugs........you can rip the earpieces off Mommy's glasses and make your own!

6. When you run out of craft tiles before finishing your masterpiece.......the keyboard tiles from the laptop substitute quite nicely. (TIP: remember to take the glue OFF before trying to replace them!)

7. If you run out of makeup..........magic markers make you just as beautiful.

8. When you don't have a Spiderman mask..........Spiderman underoos on your head are perfectly acceptable.

9. If you can't find your drumsticks.................the toilet bowl brush adds that little something extra to your drum solo.

10. When you spill your juice on the kitchen floor but don't want to get a towel.........the sleeping puppy right next to it has a super absorbent fur coat!

If necessity is the mother of invention....then I REALLY hope my kids don't decide they need to cook dinner anytime in the near future, or I'm booking a hospital room in advance!
