Living with a toddler.
My week summed up in a song – sung to the tune of Row, row, row the boat (multiple verses).
Piss, piss, piss mum off, what else can I do?
To make her loose her sh*t today, I know, I’ll bury her shoe.
Stop, stop, stop she shouts, you’re covering them in dirt,
I don’t care, she makes life unfair, I’m going to bury some more.
Oh, oh, oh dear no, I think I’ve gone too far,
The cloth, the shoes, the dolly were fine, but now I’ve buried her bra.
No, no, no she yells, Stop burying my things!
Ok, ok, I’ll stop it now (right after I’ve buried your rings…)
Mwahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The toddler ends this song with an evil mastermind laugh and strokes a fur-less cat whilst sitting in a spinning executive chair. Mummy is in a heap in the corner of the kitchen swigging gin straight from the bottle…)
Just an everyday normal occurrence in the Knutts household, then……
Can’t you bury some of his precious toys in the vegetable garden and get him to turn the ground over for you while he’s digging term up?

That’s a very good idea Georgie!! I’ll give it a go today and I’ll hide the noisy ones that I don’t mind not getting found x
This is brilliant Gemma!! Pesky children….I’m currently having dinner lobbed at me…..can you write a song about that please (and I’ll guest post it )
Xx
This is SO funny! I laughed out loud. I am going to have to share this post on twitter, it’s so funny and SO true! Even though my children aren’t toddlers any more… Oh I remember!
Laughing out loud at ‘gone to far and buried her bra’. (Insert many laughing emoji’s here) Great post! I needed that laugh today! xx
Excellent! … and now I cant stop singing this song in my head (I mush prefer your lyrics, though!)

Haha this is hilarious and total genius. It’s also very true of most days in our house. Brilliant post x
You’re so right Sarah! Laughter is the best medicine at times….my toddler has literally turned into a dog. He’s burying everything!!!x
Totally requires Gin Harriet! You’re right!
Thanks for your kind words.xx
Sorry you’ve had a tough week too. I’ve no idea why my toddler likes burying things at the moment but it is driving me mad…he dragged the beanbag down there at the weekend and buried that like it was a body bag. Very disturbing….

thanks Kerry!
Have some gin on me…

We do, but if he buries my makeup or my hairbrush again he’s in huge trouble x
Really have. This one has been sent to test me Sarah… X
